"Everybody wants a perfect wrench," Joe is quick to say. "But when you find a real unique wrench, you'll want it, as long as the parts are all there. If it's a reasonable price, you'll get it, and trade it off when you find a better one."

Joe cleans new additions to his collection, but he never use paint or varnish.

"If it is badly rusted, I'll use a vinegar solution and a wire brush on it," he said. "But I try to leave the patina on it as much as possible."

He does use a silicone spray on the wrenches (and finds reapplication necessary after he brings the wrenches home from a show). Joe gives his wrenches extra good care, a first for many of them.

"Guys will use a wrench for a pry bar, for a hammer ... if they don't have the right tool for the job, they'll just improvise," he said. "The wrench is the most misused tool there is."
