I have a LOT of tools, but a special one is a Stanley pry bar from the 1960’s. It was my dad’s. He was an airline pilot (absolutely NOT a carpenter) but somehow I ended up with it. What a tool. Beautiful spring steel. Fine at the edge and “lively,” not like the static/blunt pry bars that are available today. Nothing fancy, but I think of my dad every time I use it, and nothing currently made comes close.
Can you get a picture of it? Sounds like something a guy could come across at a garage or estate sale and miss the item for lack of knowing it’s quality.
