I have them in pretty much all my toolkits, toolboxes, and plan to put one in my truck. Been looking at getting one built into a Wharncliffe mod. Attempted it a couple of times myself on knives with broken/damaged screwdrivers, only to fail miserably.

Counting Craftsman, I think most of mine are Camillus; though I do have a Case (which is known to be a Camillus product), Wostenholm (an electrician knife, but not related to the TL-29, same blades and frame shape is the only similarity), a Rough Rider, two Boker, a couple of Imperials (I think some were actually Camillus), a couple of Colonials, a Schrade Walden, and a Garder Bender which is a pile of junk. They used to use Colonial, then went with obviously, the lowest bidder, while charging more than Rough Rider.

Now, if I could just find a genuine TL-29 (A military unit with TL-29 stamped on the handle.). Preferably in decent condition (it doesn't have to be perfect in the cosmoline) and not priced sky high. Maybe I'm asking too much. It's not a grail knife but it is one I'd like to have to make my CS-34 Signal Corps tool kit more genuine. The pliers are Utica marked TL-13A but the electrician's knife is a mid-80s Camillus.

Edit: Found one and it's Utica to match the pliers. He claims it's WWII. Maybe, maybe not. It has wood handles and is stamped TL-29 which is good enough for me. The best part? The price was very reasonable.

I don't remember whether I showed on this forum my Signal Corps Tool Kit or not. I hope no one will be offended if this is a repetition .
