Nice to see the words "Made in USA" so many times on one page.

They show what I always considered a "real" breaker bar, one with no flex head, a single piece. They used to be common, haven't seen one in 30 or more yrs.

If laughing is exercise then I get my fair amount when reading your posts. Keep up the good humor.

I got a Craftsman box wrench set that has a metal holder in pretty good shape that my Dad bought new. I hangs in my garage and is a good conservation piece. I also have his rachet set in a tool box with a the craftsman logo riveted on the lid. I am thinking they are from the late 40's/early 50's. I could not find them on that website, not too many tool sets were shown.
