Had to escape my cabin fever recently. Bought a handful of tools at an estate sale. Dug thru a sizable box of pliers, finding 2, an older looking 6 inch, with the name inside the handles, (Winchester). Yes, a first for me on this brand. The other is a nice pair of linesman 8 inchers. Not Craftsman but Sears, no warranty but how could one break linesman pliers? My big find yesterday at a Habitat Restore, was a pristine NewBritain 5/8 line wrench. A very nice Armstrong 7/16 combo in the extra long version. Best find for me is a William's combo box-open wrench in 1-1/2, chrome good, very little wear. Tried to post pics again, reduced a pic way down, it times out before anything comes out. Been promised faster internet since Oct. still nothing. Did find some older S-K Wayne but the po ground 3 notches in all of them.
