Cool

When I was working the line for Saudia in the Kingdom back in late seventies/early eighties I did a few jobs with a young Saudi just back from training in the States.
Company had given him a Snap On roll cab and top box and just about everything in the aero part of the catalogue.
Anyway to cut a short story shorter,I was so in awe of this set and it made the jobs we did go real sweet.For example 737 nose oleo seal change.
Soon after he was in the blue,never to be dirty again blue shirt, as the new hangar foreman!
He then offered to give me the whole lot.
Unfortunately they were all beautifully engraved in arabic with his name and the Saudia logo and religious script so I did not think it proper to take them.
There are some real good tools around now though and I don't think you have to stay with Snap On.Because the tool allowance is almost a thing of the past.
