I've got some Facom stuff, like it well enough, except the torque wrench
has no ft/lb markings...gotta love the French.
When Blue Point stuff shows up on eBay it usually does not draw the premium
that some bidders put on Snap-On, ergo I've managed to fill out a fair set
of Blue Point combination wrenches.
Craftsman sets also seem to show up on eBay cheap, as if some sellers have
a key to the local Sears warehouse.
When OSH was bought by Sears they dumped most of their Allen tools fairly
cheap, they're nice stuff, wish I'd bought more.
I've got a bunch of forty-year-old Proto, Challenger, etc. stuff, it was
nice stuff then, Proto is now another Stanley brand e.g. Mac.
