Isn't that a great name? They've been around a long time. they made
jacks and lug wrenches for British cars in the 50's. It would be
intersting to know the entymology (is that the right word?) of that name!
Screen printing is pretty locally accessible- maybe they'd appoint you
as their North American director of tee shirts?  I can see it now....
funky old wrench in the middle, KING DICK in red caps arched over it.
Then the bull dog logo and Abingdon, England at the bottom.
Actually I just looked at their  catalog- look like real nice spanners-
I wonder if one can get them from Harbor Freight?
BTW, VDO or somebody makes that adapter.
