The retaining blocks in the chest lid are glued in place. The special wrench is secured in the lid via a spring steel retainer. Each tool attachment is stamped &quot;YANKEE&quot; as is the wrench. The No. 1431 Radio Hand Drill and No. 230 Ratchet Tool Holder are snugly secured in place by wooden blocks which are in turn affixed to the chest floor by brads.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still own, and use, my &quot;Yankee&quot; No. 106 set (pictured above). They are of a quality you simply do not find these days.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
