    Neale, can you get this brand in England? I have my grandfather's Enderes brand flat bars, cold chisels, punches, etc., most bought in the 1940's and still in use on our jobs and in my shop.

    Ouch. I know you are a big guy Neale but that looks like poor steel forging.






    What a shame it had the "made in england" badge of honour.

    PS: I was thinking of sticking the "made in england" badges on Porsadrill (Our factory is near Sheffield - home of steel - at a place called Worksop but I am not sure what it adds. Especially as we export to a lot of other countries and I didnt know if that would annoy them! We export to Korea, Australia, Finland, Ireland, Gibralta, Malta, France and a few others. Would they be pleased to read "made in england.." Not by the example above they wouldnt....
