[BLACKJACK]

Thanks, Larry.

I appreciate your comments and your insight. My problem is some of my tools - the pliers in particular - are in bad enough shape that re-plating is really a 'must' and the jack, which sports a nice coat of rust, really needs re-painting.

The hammer looks almost brand new as does the screwdriver

The spanners and the grease gun would clean up pretty well and fit nicely into your protocol. My thoughts were to have them all look "similar" and as though they belonged to the same tool kit from the beginning.

Thanks.

Jack
