I figured since I collect bolt hangers I should collect the hand drills too. Wait till you see the hooks! I am going to post the hooks on the Crack N Ups thread.
Enjoy! Marty

Any idea if the colorado city boys kept making them??????
I live in the zion area now and it would be a goldmine if we found they still had some laying around. Was it western precision he sold it to?
Hey Duece were the colorado city boys climbers??
I hiked the cliffs our near water canyon and there are some nice looking lines put up. Any idea whose they are? Did you guys ever do anything out that way?

WooHoo…! Score!!!
I finally had the chance to drive up the hill to meet Fuzzywuzzy for a great lunch and to talk climbing! He showed up with quite an assortment of old-school bolting goodies, in addition to the prized Hurricane… Ooooohhh… :)
And here’s what he generously parted with:
Original A5 bolt bag (major score!), original lightweight wrenches, first/early(?) edition Hurricane hand drill w/ 3/8” SDS bit, 1/2” SDS bit, 3 original 5/16” buttonheads (mmmm…) with original plated SMC “death” hangers (eww…), new 1/4” plated SMC “death” hanger (collectors eww…), stainless 5/16” machine bolt (a la leftover from the FA of Tribal Rite; rivet ladders; cool history), and original aluminum dowel with washer held on by the mere mushrooming of the ends of the dowel (major eww, but mega history…).
What a great little collection of old-school goodies… Big thanks, Tom!!!
edit: Marty, that is crazy cool!!!
