Bouquet for Veritas's service

[IanW]

Ian, you put up a compelling argument, I am sure you're right, so as soon as I have a few spare bucks I'll have one and jettison the the stanleys ( I have a 51 SW and an old 151)

I ended up keeping my old Stanleys, Claw. The flat one was my dad's, so I have to hang on to that for nostalgia's sake. I use them for rough work, mostly, however I recently bought a LV replacement blade and what a difference it makes! Not only does it close up that gaping mouth a bit, it gives the thing an altogether more solid feel. It's not quite up in the Veritas league, but a much nicer tool than it was. And all for about 25 bucks with (slow) postage.

Cheers,

Hmm, point taken

Update: the screws have arrived. 2 were offered; 4 were sent.

Can't say LV don't give good customer service.
