The Britool spanners I bought when I was an apprentice, 35 years ago are as good as new, and yes they have been used a lot! Can't remember how much they were but I used to get £2 of my £24 a week taken out of my wages for quite a while to pay for them and the rest of the kit.

One of the guys here has just locked his toolcase because a visitor used one of his precision steel rules without asking, and apparently used it to clean hot melt glue off something. He not happy.

Tool clubs were the only way you could afford decent gear. I started on £12 a week in 74,
I have only got 3 Britool combi spanners left out of a full set I bought in 1979, a 17mm,a 19mm and a 22mm. The 10,13, 17 and 24 disappeared long ago. They were my first metric set! I still love just holding them, they just feel right. You get it don't you?

Sacrilege.
Don't you have scrapers or even a piece of metal banding strap handy they could have used?

We sure do, this was a customer who came in for machine trials. As far as everyone is concerned this terrible behaviour!

My dad manages a sort of charity in the village where I grew up - someone died many many years ago and left a crap load of money in trust so that kids in the village get contributions towards the tools they buy for apprenticeships.

I wanted a Snap-On tool chest, but seeing as they were north of a grand I ended up settling for a clark one for about £150. It's red and has roller bearings, but obviously the wrong label.
As for Strap-On, I did adorn my car with one such sticker for it's trip to Le Mans last year - if you look really carefully there is a cut out phallus in the S

I have a Snap-on cantilever hand toolbox which is about 40 years old.
One of the mechanics at the garage where I used to be a Saturday boy gave it to me.
It had been run over a few times, straightened as many and resprayed.
Still functions as it should - it will outlast me.

If i had one of them i would glady drop my pants for any medical examination.
