Burning question?

Did the inventor of the Gear Wrench earn a Noble Peace Prize? Everytime I work on my car (took off 25mm sway bar off of street car to put on race car that has 21mm) I marvel at the usefulness of my Gear Wrenches. I can do with out my ipod or windows 1 thru 7, Vista, and whatever the current upgrade I am supposed to buy now but I don't think I can do with out my Gear Wrenches.

I am thinking about buying another set to hang in my office as artwork.

I could write poetry about my Gear Wrenches.

A Gearwrench by any other name is still a gearwrench.

It is better to have a gearwrench and lost it than to have never had a gearwrench at all.

Ah, gearwrench is thy name.

And yes I have had an entire pot of coffee this morning.

Cline, I'll give you a THSCC Gift Pack if you'll write this "Ode to the Gearwrench" and submit for next month's newsletter. Seriously. Just don't spoil it by putting it on the forum first.

Many years ago Tom Hoppe very appropriately coined the term "happy wrenchs" in reference to gear wrenches.

I can see Cline doing a rap to the gearwrench at the next Lemons race. Just a thought.

I second that! As one of those people that brings zero tools to an autocross I borrowed one of these from a fellow next to me in the pits at the T-n-T to tighten what I found to be a super loose battery on the car I recently bought.

These rock!
