My oldest tools are about the same vintage as my bikes. I bought my first wrench at Sears in a mall about 10 miles from home when I got a flat tire on my Free Spirit as a teenager. That adjustable crescent (Sears brand, not Craftsman) still rides in my saddle bag when I ride a bike that doesn't have QR hubs.
