How many of you have developed "favorite tools"?  Through the years I've 
acquired a foot locker full of odds and ends.  Even though I have several new 
sets of combination wrenches, open end wrenches, and sockets neatly hanging on 
the wall, whenever I need a 9/16" combination wrench, I reach for this old 
"Billings" wrench that I found under the seat of a Model "A" Ford in 1958.  
Same goes for a deep well 9/16".  I have an old beat up Snap On that always 
finds it's way into my hand rather than one of the new ones out of the set.  
   
  BTW, does anybody know anything about Billings wrenches?  I love that wrench 
and would buy a set if I could ever find them.  One friend told me that it was 
part of a tool kit for a Model "B" Ford, but I don't know.
