******* jeep, and we'd buy from the dealers and reps at them. Hated

OK.Here it is! It is a British tool. Finally got in touch with the
person who got it from me. Its a Britool AZT100A. I checked out the
website, but it was down for servicing. Sent out an email and hope to
hear from them soon. Not sure, though. Just figured out I purchased it
in 1986. Time flies when you're surfing. ((:>))

Thanks to all for all your replies. Still can't figure out why we
don't have that type tool here.
