The old thing worked almost as good as my newer Snap-on. Guess it is just quality from back in the day?

I had never heard of them googled up a buy out in 1940 by the Plomb Tool Co. They acquired a lot of companies over the years. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,960 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,960 | I had some Pennens tools in the 50's. I think they were used by the military because I bought them at Army surplus stores back then. Plomb was also to be found in Army surplus stores and I still have a few of them. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 30 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 30 | Of the PROTO Tools Family, Penens, Plomb, Proto

You are on the money, Pop said he got the set when he was stationed at Ft. Benning Ga. in the mid to late 50's.
