I took this topic as an inspiration to visit Duluth Trading Co.'s first store that just happened to open 3 weeks ago. It is 30 miles west of Madison, Wisconsin in Mt. Horeb. Very cool store for their first effort. They have an in-store tool museum that was procured from a local old-timer/tool collector. I had never heard of a crocodile wrench. I think they have almost everything from the catalog in that store. Kids kept busy with the old time wooden games. Wife and mother-in-law happy with the complementary refreshments and leather easy chairs. Very nice employees. Now that it's gotten cold here and I"m digging ditches, I regret not buying a long tailed t-shirt. Chris C.

I foolishly believed him and got one, and it's GREAT! Photos at http://picasaweb.google.com/dbeierl/VanagonToolRollDuluthTradingPost#
