Thor 710r Hammer. Made in England.
I couldn't find replacement faces for my Tengtools hammer and end up buying this. I don't regret it
nice!
You have good taste Cosmik. I, too, agree that Robertson is the best.
Way easier to remove any crud from a square recess than it is to do a star shaped Torx!
Bits last a looong time and a #2 covers most tasks. Very rarely have i encountered a #3 or a beastily #4. #00 and 0 is never and #1 occasionaly on older electrical.
too bad i cannot find the two smallest sizes in the old Mastercraft stubby form...
as for the Robertson screws, they're made in PRC now... luckily i have some old canadian stock!
Well, I must admit, my "collection" is much smaller than Monte's! Thus, I am too embarrassed to publish it online, and I do suspect that there might be a few here who have more 3/4" wrenches than I do
So far, I've about 15. But I'll continue working on it.
My favorites so far are both matte! WrightGrip and the Stahlwille 13A. Both are excellent.
or you can PM the list to me if you're too ashamed of publishing it!
FDP Snappy will have to wait.. Almost 45$!
uh-oh... gotta get off that truck tool habit, eh!
Bought today at the Earls Barton Vintage Rally for £1 - a USAG 283 20x22mm. Maybe not the most useful size, but I bought it for the novelty as I don't see much USAG stuff in the UK. No COO marked on it - any guesses (is it actually Italy)?

italian made for sure, lots of old USAG wrenches do not have any CoO stampings/marks.
Some purchases from the last while-
Koken 3/4" drive 1 metre long breaker bar.
are they ex-MoD and is there others available?
A few circlip pliers
nice, don't hesitate to post pics of all you circlip pliers on the thread linked in my .sig!
Some Footprint punches and a Gilbow chisel.
gotta get me some of those Footprint punches if they do come in the roll pin kind...
+1
Are the Footprint punches made in the UK? Does that top pair of Cobras say 500?! Are you working on lorries with these huge tools?
My newest arrival:

wow! they still have old stock of these...
It seems very stout, although I've only had the super-cheap ones in the past that I can compare it with
I'm dying to get home to try it out.
they're from an era when Facom wanted to expand in the electrician toolbox field with quite mixed results...
some of their best tools(in an "hapticallly ergonomical" sense) are from that line like the smooth
elec wrenches and the blue & black "trilobic" handled screwies:
i also like this "expander" but don't know if they made it or just rebranded it(it's quite beefy too though even if light):
