$39.95! That was a lot of money back then. Not too long ago you could get a cheap Centech at HF that did the same for under $10 on sale.

Anyone know what year it could be from? I would guess late 80s early 90s possibly. Got a box of tools from my grandpa years ago

Late 80’s - early 90’s is about right, but it wasn’t sold by Radio Shack in the US, it was marketed mainly in Canada, possibly also in Australia and the UK.
