I=E2=80=99m 71yrs and I have used plumb tools since I started wrenching (9yr=
s old) and have a set of Armstrong that I bought when I was 18yrs old. The p=
lumb is as good as anything made in hand tools. The Armstrong is good also.=20=

When I needed a replacement tool for whatever reason, I would buy craftsman b=
ecause of the replacement policy.=20
Someone will hit the hand tool jackpot with my tools when I kick.=20
