5.0 out of 5 stars They work - what more could you want?, November 20, 2008

I bought a set of these (identical in every way), over 30 years ago and have a project coming up that requires extras. Unlike many products that are still being made, but not as well as they used to be, these are the same quality as my old ones. The only difference is the packaging - the old ones were in a slotted plastic box. As I remember, the price is less than inflation would have caused. This is a good buy for a product that works.

Brass would be better, these rust if not careful. a case would be nice, these are real easy to lose. I bought replacement because the old ones are lost, not worn out.
