Like 'Crescent Wrench' adjustable wrench... which coincidently, the Original Crescent Tool Company, maker of the original Crescent Wrench was in Jamestown, NY, 20 miles from where I live, where family members worked. The originals are stamped 'Crescent Tool' and 'Jamestown, NY'.

Like 'ChannelLocks' pliers... synonomous or generic for basic Tongue-and-groove pliers. Obviously ChannelLock brand makes diagonals, lineman's, and other tools (AND crescent wrenches, LOL).

How about the '4-in-1' screwdriver...which some of them are marked:The Original 4-in-one Screwdriver, Jamestown, NY.

Can you others think of any more to add to the list?

NEVER PLAY AROUND ABANDONED FRIGES...My mother struck the fear of god into us with this one as kids were found suffocated in fridges all the time due to the old locking handles.

Since there's exceedingly few kids on the forum here:

Far better: Always dispose of old refs properly. Always remove the door(s). Never leave them outside for kids to find. Call a recycle company and have them come pick it up.

But we are talking the 50's and old refers were everywhere. People just dumped them, nowadays the local sanitary landfill (SANITARY???) has disposal options.

Hmmm..., Spit gun? I have to ask, what tool does this refer to?
An oil can or grease gun perhaps?


I was a little thrown by your forum name at first. I just assumed Tri-Mix was referring to shielding gas used for MIG welding of stainless steel [90%Helium/7.5%Argon/2.5%Carbon Dioxide]. I’ve heard others refer to it as “Blue Flame”.

After seeing your avatar and reading your profile though, it is quite clear you are referring to diving gas mix.
