Sometimes it REALLY pays to clean out your garage

sjtillSometimes it REALLY pays to clean out your garage
On week 2 of (sort of) thorough organization of the garage/workshop. Hours and hours of sorting, organizing, labeling, entering on Excel so I can find the darn stuff later. Now on to tools gathered in various plastic drawers etc. around the house.
Finally! My Sig Armorer's Tool, gift of Bruce Gray in probably 2006-7. Thanks, Bruce!

A young person sees the world as a still picture, immutable. An old person has had his nose rubbed in changes and more changes and still more changes so many times that that he knows it is a moving picture, forever changing. He may not like it--probably doesn't; I don't--but he knows it's so, and knowing is the first step in coping with it."

Looks like they made some cosmetic changes over the years.
I think I got mine around 2010 or 2011.

Oz_ShadowI did a bit of garage cleaning and I found things I had no recollection of having. I bought a set of impact sockets a couple months ago. I just found an second identical, unused set. No idea when I got it.

sjtillAdvantage of Amazon: faster than finding your lost tool.
Diadvantage: now you have three of them.

bigpond73Seems like quite a few designs of the same tool. Had no idea they had become so scarce. Here's mine that I also picked up off the forum:
