.... the junior hacksaw without blade, an original Stanley knife without blade and a Pozidrive screw driver, the one with a blue handle so you could find it in your red cantilever tool box.

A variety of rawl plugs, red, yellow, blue and brown. And a bradawl. And somewhere in the house, a Haynes manual (or two) for a car that hasn’t been owned for at least 28 years.

A bradawl.....not heard of one of those in years, probably when I was in the garage as a kid with the old fella !!

My dad was an apprentice fitter at Ferranti’s then an engineer at British Vita. If there’s a tool, nut, bolt, screw that’s not in his toolbox / garage, it’s yet to be invented.
He’s also got all his dad’s old tools. Fucking hundreds of washers, grommets that will only fit on British flanges that were manufactured before the Norman Conquest.
Every now and again he’ll threaten to “have a tidy “ and bin them. And every time he relents because “I just might need that one day”.
Feeler gauges for spark plugs!
