in the pre internet days of the early 90's i started tool collector networking by following one tool collectors association newsletter to the next. eventually i figured out that all roads lead to the EAIA. but they were heavy on the antique woodworking planes and i loved (entry level) wrench collecting which took me to the missouri valley wrench collectors group. the subscription newsletters still persist but now they all have web sites too with links pages to each other with even more obscure individual members sites.

Whether you are a tool collector, a tool dealer, a scholar, a user of tools or just like finding out about tools, there will be something to interest you.
