Steve,
Slip joint pliers, needle nose pliers and side cutters come in different lengths. Do you know what lengths you need? Any brand preferences?

Not really as it is just a kit someone would have probably just picked up as needed or whatever would have been locally available. The only thing is the screwdrivers I want the cabinet shaped ones not the round clunky handles.

This is what it is going to end up in

Steve, we can get you a pretty nice postwar set together; something that would have been available during the 40's and 50's. I'll PM ya..

These are heading to Steve today. He is still looking for screwdrivers and box wrenches. Somebody must have some!

Tools arrived today Don. Very pleased and think if the other stuff gets acquired the roll will really be handy. I would probably like to get about a 4" pair of needle nose also. The long ones are pretty nice but might be too long in a couple places. Thanks, again.

Screwdrivers and DBE wrenches are on the way to Steve plus a small pair of Kraeuter longnoses. If the 3a ever has a problem on the road the tools will be on board in the roll.

Got 2nd set today really fast from post office. Except for the knife, tester and small cold chisel everything else from Don and a big thanks to him. I also had gotten an ignition wrench set from Robin a while back dated 1956 same year as I was born so couldn't pass that up. It fits in toll box very nice and I am tickled to have this instead of a set of modern Chinese stuff.
