In my younger years, family working in a oilfield town in south Texas. Used to go to town with grand dad. He would make his rounds to the Wilson supply store, they would have J. H. Williams tool displays we used to drool over. If course, Papa would not buy us anything. Go to the auto parts store, there they had wall to wall tool displays of Proto tools. Papa still wouldn't buy us anything. Go to Gibson's discount store, he would let us buy a tool or two, obviously, about two grades down from the other brands at the other stores.
Fast forward about 45 years, Tried to buy every Craftsman tool known to exists over the years. Got more tools now, than I did as a kid, and what to do with!
