Interesting.

As far as thgm selling the bare tool, I have never actually seen just the tool only with nothing else.
But they used to sell the tools mostly by themselves,  just the bare tool and a little starter pack of accessories included in the box.
Now it seems you can't really buy the tool outside a kit with a bag or blow mould case and a bunch of accessories.

I sent this back...

"Thank you for your response.

I have the 395.  I have been looking at the new 4300 models. Just didn't
want all the accessories as I have almost all them.

Not sure what I'll do. My birthday is coming up and I have been hinting for
a new one lol.

Thank you for the information.

Best regards"

I got the Channellock pick set in surprisingly fast.


I thought about converting my other Mayhew mini pry bars to Channellock with the rest of the pick set that I sacrificed,  but I believe I will just put them in one of my various boxes / tool kits.

From HJE, a screaming deal when you consider the 7pc set was $85 from WILDE before they were discontinued, about $40 if you buy all of them ( listed as a set of individual items so you can pick and choose ) and you also get the 2 stubbies as well.

A cash box I'll fine a use for, no key but the catch works just fine, I may or may not keep the plastic divider tray in it for whatever I end up using it for.

The parts organizer,  is an Akron from of course Akron Ohio.
2 disston saws, one 1896-1918, and the other 1955-1990 ( closer to '55 than '90 )
