I am not sure whether you meant "don't just own" or "just don't own", but the
last time we used it was to wire wrap a 2716 eprom programmer S-100 board we
designed (ok, he designed, but I helped build it) back in about 1981/82 or so.
I haven't seen or thought of it since then, but seeing it in the photo instantly
brought back the memory of it.

I have some of the tools, others have gone missing, for instance the large tool bag
at the rear of the first photo on

But I do still have the tool bag identical to the one in the foreground, in the
same russet brown colour but the zipper canvas has dry rotted.
