Fascinating Franz.. spent ages studying the tools in the CES kit as I'm putting together a generic period toolbox to go with our vehicles...

Track bashing, happy memories, when you hit the pin with all your might and it doesn't move and the impact travels back up the hammer shaft and disintegrates your wrist watch! :)
