Your Picks
Here's two pictures of my current set. It was passed down from my Grandfather. The only pieces that I know for sure were added by someone else are two of the tension wrenches. The first being the long black one, and the second being the short silver one. The case is marked with H.P.C. INC. U.S.A.
If these are really H.P.C. picks, then I think this proves quality. A second use by a third generation? Maybe that's something to write home about.
Also, what is that red-handled tool? I figured it was a type of double sided tension wrench, but I'd like to know for sure. As that middle piece slides down, the distance between the two tips grows larger.
