How did you even find out about the limited run?

Me personally, I don't think I could fathom paying $1,000 for a tool box when I could get a auto, which be more useful. Or, even better, one of those floor lifts. As I get older and my joints are failing, will eventually have to.

Yep, just like Harbor Freight, Craftsman, Wright, with lifetime warranty. But, are they really worth the extra cost?

What does hollow ground actually mean?

Opa was a gun smith of single shots, but never seen any special tools other than his bullet loading stuff.

Interesting no order of quality for European, unlike American.

B.T.W., kept thinking I had Hazet tools, but couldn't remember what. Well, couldn't sleep last night, so did a tool pickup and sorting after done installing the turbocharger. I do! They are the special valve adjusting wrenches.

Congratulations on the high marks! Bet you hardly use it. I got a vintage machinist caliper with slide rule, and so special, didn't use it and put it somewhere safe... Plus, being a teenager, I just could't figure out how to get ti to give measurements. If I ever have children, which I very much doubt, or my Brother has a son if I don't, will pass it on down.
My Snap-On dealer (biggest in the state) has a huge truck and a lot of inventory and he showcases boxes on his truck and happened to have mine in there one day, I had to have it! I'll keep it for as long as i'm around, shouldn't need to ever replace it. My previous box, a much smaller craftsman was running out of room and showing wear n' tear from daily use so i decided to upgrade. I could by a new or barely used car for what that box costs. I'd hate to count my total I have wrapped up in tools, lets just say I could buy a small house, payed in full

As for quality, each person must weigh that on there own. How much are you going to use them? How much should I spend? Etc. I'd say buy the better end of what you can afford. I don't mean like, go sell a kidney just to buy the best you can, but buy what your budget allows comfortably.

I tossed in a pic of hollow ground (right pic) VS flat ground (Left pic) tipped screwdrivers, easy to see why a HG engages better

Skippy~ As for perception: Drive what you like and can afford. Those who don't like it can supply vacuum to one of your components. LOL

If you need parts, I have some!
