And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
That's a good starter set, and there should be a starter set for carpentry, and for sheet metal, and one hammer for welding slag, and then there's masonry, and so many more. Also the duplicates between the basement workshop, the garage, and the sheds.
That was one of the great perks of being a field service mechanic. I did a job at Nupla Corp. in the San Fernando Valley. They made hammers for just about every tool manufacurer in America back in the 70s. I came back with whole set of hammers. Later, I went to a company that did work for Starrett and scored a full set of drill gauges, a complete machinist square and bunch of other stuff. These were tools that did not pass QC, that had a tiny knick or blemish, but who cares if they work?
Leonard. I'm going to suggest that if you are a field service guy for a steam generator company, and you are doing some work inside the boiler house for those folks that make Unbrako hex wrenches, don't ask them to borrow a large Allen wrench. Just saying.
I've done little more than small jobs on boilers. My line of work was air and gas compressor mechanic, Millwright, Industrial mainenance, industrial maintenance mechanic and electrician and instrumental technician. As a Millwright, I worked on steam turbines, cooling towers, steam driven reciprocating pumps, gearboxes, and other machines in heavy industries and oil refineries.
Besides, my allen set goes all the way up to 1" and I am not a boiler tech.
