They rank right up there with my metric pliers.

I had beena couple of years working the high country when I left and was in my joinery/furniture making apprenticeship for about 6 months when we changed all measurements over to metric in the late 60's. Mother asked how it would effect me so I told her I had to buy all new tools - saws were all sharpened at points per inch and had to be changed for points per centimeter, 6 inch square for a 150mm one etc etc and my father was trying to keep a straight face as I went through the list of tool I needed to change untill it got so obvious that she caught on. Was a fun 1/2 hr though

There’s a drilling rig one like that that goes- “When I die I want morning tour to lower me in the ground… So they can let me down one last time!” (Morning tour is the night crew)

God I have been looking for these forever along with the long lost sky hook, black tin of compression and long weight.

Yes indeed, along with the rope pusher, the portable hole and the bucket of steam!

Don’t forget to pick up a spare muffler belt.

Gotta have a left handed monkey wrench, too.
