My Uncle was the works manager at Ecclesfield, he was very knowledgeable on forging and the production of hammers. I have a large collection of Stanley tools and many different hammers.
Very interesting ,thanks. I lived across the road from the factory at woodside and many of my pals from the seventies worked there ,its so sad for a major manufacturer to decline when they made first class products I still have and use my Stanley four speed half inch chuck electric drill that will try and snap your wrist if the bit sticks.
Pura vida execelente exposición.yo prefiero los cepillos de carpintería fabricados en Sheffield porque eran mas robustos y pesados este detalle ayuda mucho al momento de cepillar la madera porque los cepillos fe carpintería fabricados en USA son mas livianos pero es cuestion de gustos .luego tambien un detalle importante la pintura del logo de Stanley de la cuña del cepillo de carpintería fabricado en Sheffield era de mejor calidad que el estadounidense esa pintura se desprende o deterioraba mas facil que el fabricado en Sheffield. Tengo un cepillo Stanley 4 1/2 del la decada de los 50s es uno de preferidos .
Really enjoyed listening to that thanks
