+1 for that.


My "rawhide wrench" has turned ito "fine kid leather" over the years
since I stopped wrenching full-time, but one look at my hands and it's
obvious they've worked for a living sometime in their life - - -. A
closer look finds a few fingertips wider than the rest, as well as
scar tissue on knuckles, as well as a few good scars from cuts - and
more recently the displacement of joints due to arthritis - - -

Those scars are called Crapsman Love Taps. '79-80 is when I lost my
pound of flesh and gallon of blood to the new Chiwanese steel, before
they re-sourced once again. Grr.
