i couldnt tell u whats in my tool box,

it started with a $1000 207 pc set of SP tools from repco, and added an extra 2G to it,
i needed them when i was working at QMR, but i dont use them as much as i used to at my new work.

[keith reed]

I don't know how many tools I have, not as many as some. Always seem to have the right tool when I need it. I bought a socket set in about 1975. Imperial, metric and whitworth. I lent it to a workmate in 1976, he lost the 1/2 socket which he replaced. Apart from the occasional replacement of the rachet it is original. My days of working on a car for half the night are well and truly over.
