I agree mrs.Art,he might have more tools than a storeroom..........i know pawnshops have lots of tools that have been found on jobsites.

Shifter, adjustable spanner or adjustable wrench.

The question is... Was it rusted solid or still usable.

thanks again Clive,used to leave those small digital voltmeters behind and find myself back at the home depot..........and used to leave notes behind ,written inside urd transformers.............the note was meant for a certain individual and it said (no meter)..........because he always wondered why ,on some ct jobs there would be an empty type of meter base saying no meter...........kind of an inside joke.

Well Poot I have never heard of tools getting retired. Now I have heard of the odd guy retiring and we just lost a set of tools of the truck. I have been using my original pair of kleins, 23 years now. I think they would like to retire!
