Tool collection gives me mixed feelings...
Sold the KRW stand i had for a to me ridiculous sum after being nagged for years...then it ends up sitting in a corner as a trophy...i use my claybornes daily and they look like crap but they are tools !
I buy the special tools when i can afford them as just what they are tools...not showpieces with bragging rights.

flatheadmurre I always enjoy reading your posts. I am one of those guys who from time to time buys things for reasons other than to use. I have various flathead powered vehicles and wanted one of the KRW engine stands, but could never find one when I had the money to buy one. A couple of years ago I came across a stash that was finally for sale and bought one of the stands with the rolling base as well as one of the brake shoe machines shown on the cover of one of the KRW catalogs. I didn't even know I wanted the brake shoe machine until I saw it, and then was fascinated by it, so both now reside in a corner of one of my buildings. I guess they could be considered trophies because at this point I have been transitioning out of the hobby and I will never use them, but I actually like the designs, the work that went into the castings, and I thoroughly enjoyed cleaning them up. Most of the spare parts I accumulated over the years have gone to others who needed them. My vehicles will soon be gone as I continue to downsize since nobody in the family is interested, and the stuff I bought just because I liked them and wanted them will go away as well.

Majority of the KRW tools i have, i got out of scrap piles including the engine stand.
Dont use much of them, but i saved them from being turing into a washer or dryer or that hydro electric plant in china

Most have been media blasted and re painted to collect dust until my wife junks everything

I'd love to find one of the brake shoe adjusting tools as I have a couple cars that I can use it on.
