I've now able to join the elite club of PWII owners thanks to the generosity of McStitchy, who messaged me after I had wanted to know where to find one.

It showed up here on this side of the Atlantic on Saturday and it's first use was tightening up a nut on my wheelchair.

Don't know how I'm gonna repay this kindness, but for now, my humble thanks and appreciation.

Here are the PWs that I have managed to acquire so far:



I found the two PWs and the Taiwan PWII on eBay.

The USA SS PWII and the first CV PWII came in a trade with Stitchy, along with a second USA SS PWII that I then sent on to BPRoberts. You can read about the trade here.

The second CV PWII was the first one I acquired. I found out online that a hardware store in New Jersey had several left in stock. I was cayrying it daily, but then stored it away after noticing it was showing wear. However, after receiving one in great shape from Stitchy, I immediately put it back in my Maxpedition and have used it several times since then.

The final tool is something that I found while searching online for a PWII. It works well as a wrench, and the trapezoidal hole fits 1/4" bits.

I am now looking for a Chinese copy, which has proven to be more difficult than finding the real thing  :dunno:

The baggie it was in did not appear damaged, but I guess the mark did come from the delivery truck  :dunno:

I am glad to have it none the less  :D  :tu:
