Tool talk and torque

You can't beat a large tool!

You shouldn't be beating your tool at your age, leave that to the young'uns.

... My Zed was manufactured in Germany...

I think the Z3 was only made at one plant, in the USA.

I used to hate fishing through my tool box looking for the right size socked, especially here where not everything is metric. So I bought some cheap woman's nail polish, orange and yellow, and painted the most used ones so I could find them quickly. Now just watch and see some of the forthcoming comments I get here about what I did with the extra nail polish. My forum friends just won't let an opportunity like this pass.

Frankie, Orange and yellow is so last year!

Hi, I thought so as well but on my spec sheet it says 'Assembled in Spartanburg'. Please let me know if that is incorrect. Have a look! Does that make me a Spartan? hehe

Also, thanks guys, I bought a lot of tools today and what I don't have goes on the list of 'wants'. I also got some spray lithium lub and a few other bits n pieces.
