Thank you. Isn't it great that they are still in business sixty years later. Time is usually the sign of a company that invests in quality.

Thank you I will have a look for the book. I have been watching the Park tool videos and they are excellent but I didn't know about he book. Together they will be a great resource. Much appreciated.
