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?

i have a pair of metal working calipers with the WD symbol on them...1931 my dad gave them me years ago along with loads of ex-army tools..will look through them to find the oldest.

My Tool is currently 55 years and 5 months old.
