Title: Older Craftsman in action.

Watching American Logger reruns on Quest and what do I notice?  The operator replacing a hose on a CTL processor using an old Craftsman/MDF pearhead ratchet with the "V" direction shifter. ::)

Always good to see old tools still in service!

Man I dig that show!

Now those mechanics are true magicians. Being able to fix that equipment like that the way they do.  8)

Yeah, American Loggers and Swamp Loggers were both great shows, along with one that showcased helo logging in Canada - can't remember the name of that one.  On the other hand, Axe Men was an absolute load of !%@##!#@@&*! after the first season or so - all fake drama and blatant OSHA/safety violations to bump ratings...  I'da been humiliated to be associated with any operation on that show!
