[AT] Need help no internet connection

Sat Apr 9 18:25:47 PDT 2016

I have a set of combination wrenches that was my farhers. I value them very highly. I don't use them unless I have a need that absolutely requires them. As I recall they were made by Thorson and they are thinner than the tradition combination wrench like a Craftsman.  Well, I used them for a specific application and somehow the 5/8"Wrench disappeared.  I was beside myself for over a year. I looked and looked, I could not find that stinking wrench.  My wife and I became real swap meet hounds trying to find an exact replacement.  Never succeeded. Then one day I decided to do a thorough cleaning in the shop.  Pulled back the work bench and there it was on the foundation ledge 6" above the shop floor.  I no longer was in trouble with my father!  And that was really good.

Boy you got that right!  I have started putting adapters and parts to 
different specialty tools in their own box with everything for that 
purpose in the one box.    I have a lot of Dewalt cordless tools and I 
do not use those plastic boxes they came in.   However those boxes work 
great to hold an assortment of snap ring pliers, Piston ring 
compressors, hydraulic cylinder repair tools, etc....  If I find a good 
metal box at a garage sale, it comes home with me also....  Then I write 
what is on them with a felt tip marker on every side!!
