ABC's of Hand Tools

Their Correct Usage and Care

(Illustrated with a registered Walt Disney Character!)

     

This is a slim tome and an unusual text. On the one hand, it is a detailed text covering the use and care of workshop tools such as files, chisels, hammers, micrometers, saws, pliers, etc. What makes it unusual is that it is old, around 1957 according to the owners note written on the first page. More unusual is the document's providence - according to the foreword, it has been used by the Armed Forces in the USA, and then by GM of Detroit. 

This incarnation is what makes it truly unique - it was created and printed for Australia's BHP, back in the days when BHP was still known as the Broken Hill Proprietary Co. Ltd. Combine this with the cartoon character one can see on the cover and throughout the text, "Primitive Pete" is the first thing clearly identified. Specifically, he is copyright (1943) to Walt Disney Productions! Very interesting!

A practical technical document using "Primitive Pete" to illustrate the wrong way to work with tools, and the potential negative results. A clever and obviously effective method to teaching tool usage. Would suit a boilermaker or home handyman who would enjoy relevant information presented in this unique (and fun) way.


Paperback, in suprisingly good condition considering its age and expected shelf life, although the cover is close to failing at the spine (but still opens intact). Aside form this the book looks aged but the internal pages are fairly bright and in very good condition.

48 pages. ~1957?

   

Get ready for a great night in!

Today's Oasis-World eBay Tip
When searching, list your results by "ending soonest" or "price", as many expert users are saying "Best match" still has teething problems.
   
UPDATE 8/09

Best Match still has problems. It will list different items based on the browser you are using! We suggest listing by "price" or "ending soonest".
