    Thanks for the background to the Eclipse name, always nice to learn something new.
    I think the company is now under the Spear & Jackson name and the quality has gone, I am very fond of my old tools and my favorite tap wrench is a Chatwin from 1944 and is marked with the Uk war dept arrow and is a joy to use.

    If you want real quality tools at reasonable prices you have to go back in time and buy them where you can find them.
