Just thinking about "lifetime guarantees", I was out in the garage this afternoon looking through my tool set, and found a number of spanners and sockets that are older than I am!! They are American "lease lend" items from WW2 that were given to me by an old fitter where I worked in the 70`s. Judging by the look of them they should be good for another 70 years at least. Any takers for "the oldest tool in the box" thread?Outrageous bargain

As I grow older, my mind doesn't just wander......sometimes it buggers off completely!!
You can't avoid growing up, but you can be immature all your life!
