American Toolbox

Executive Tool Bag

WITH TYPICAL AMERICAN frenzy for planning, annually our offices are inundated with frantic emails from those seeking the perfect Fathers Day gift. “What do we get our Dad / Brother / Uncle?  He’s very particular!”

In the course of researching domestic production tools, I’ve developed fondness to a particular few, which I own, use, and recommend.  This publication’s weekly contribution offers what I consider to be a perfect gift.  One that will last decades of normal residential use.  Even heavy use and moderate abuse.

Hammer, screwdriver, & pliers.  All in a tidy zippered bag.  About $100.
