I wonder if that pattern is nation wide and power torques are well on their way to getting rarer since production ceased? I think people are still throwing them out at a feverish rate due to little issues or attrition due to increased incidence of straight fueling by people who have no idea.
Hopefully people are discovering them and taking then away before the trucks arrive to crush them in the compactor.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
