Hello from Atlanta, Ga. Thank you for the post!---it is great to know that these tools exist. I had no idea.... I am an electrical contractor by profession, and know the value of good (=right tool for the job) tools. I have encountered frequent problems using Husky, Craftsman et. al. metrics on my two '81's---we do all of our own work as a hobby. I hope that we can do business soon. Happy Easter!

Regards,

Michael and Christina Nichols
