I currently have three different sets that are more or less complete, mostly more. If you want to take some time, I have a thread about them and my onboard Jeep toolset from 2014 to present day on G503.com. Here is the link.
Oh my.
I finally found my example of this tool. It has the same part number stamped in it, and no other identification. It has a 3/4" opening, which would be compatible with standard shielded aviation spark plugs from perhaps late WWII until now. There is a better insulated version that uses 7/8" hex nuts to match the much larger diameter of the insulator barrel of the spark plug.
561160 is the only marking. It takes me to an aircraft tool supply site. I like the look of the wrench.
I made my own tools by modifying impact sockets:
Thicker walls. Impact sockets are chrome-moly, which is tougher and less sensitive to notch stress.
That model saw is a really good size. Light enough to be handy, and powerful enough to do some work. I use mine on small logs and limbing. For Oak and bigger stuff I use my Stihl 044, but it is heavier.Highlights from this weekend yard sales:
Wasn't looking for another box, but in a fella's back yard sale along with a HavaHart trap I bought, was this Husky.
Funny, when I searched the SKU the only hit was a Garage Journal thread years gone by about how these were going closeout at Home Depot & what a deal for the price they are.
Not too beat up & the bearing drawers still good.
Key for the top only, none for the bottom.
When I saw the price sticker, I assumed that was just for the top box, but nope, that for the whole package...
Than at another stop, I usually don't buy used chainsaws, but always look em over since I heat with a woodstove.
Fella said $100.00 & that includes all the flotsam & jetsom. It was his dads & he had no use for it.
The bar still has some paint on it. Chain still has some life.
I picked it up & it started on the second pull.
It smoked pretty thick, but after getting home I put in some fresh mix & it ran clean.
I think I can claw back some money selling the helmet & the clamp on sharpener & whatnot.
I mostly cut wood wearing 2 or 3 sock hats & hand file so that stuff won't get used by me.

You definitely **** for that haul!
You ****!Bought this at an Estate sale this afternoon.
Wilton 121079 4" tilt and swivel vise.
Oh and I only paid $7.
Fantastic hauls. You ****, especiallly for that bender!Oh boy I finally have something good to post here! The branding I was supposed to help with has been cancelled till tomorrow so I got to tour around the town for Garage Sale Day after all!
Most of them were pretty dull but two or three had tools.
First is a Beach box (because I’m a Beach junkie now apparently lol) for $8 with a few decent tools and some random stuff (didn’t have a tray though).
-Vise Grips (the good kind I think)
-a nice ball peen
-some Fuller screwdrivers and I think the lineman pliers were Fuller too
-a Snap On screwdriver
-some German snips (not sure what make)
-and a couple old pocketknives that are Sheffield steel I think, will have to look at them again, might be a couple worth cleaning up.
Most of the stuff on the right side looks like cheap junk but let know if I’m missing anything
The rest of my goodies came from a hoarder place, old guy passed away and his nephews were selling stuff off. Got this awesome vintage Shelton/GE hair-drier thing, good heat gun I guess, $5 and it works flawlessly!
And then a sweet little Craftsman grinder and these Vise Grip clamps for $20
A small Delta belt sander and a beefy old chop saw that I couldn’t find a name on but it all works, I think I paid around $20 for these.
Two Jorgensen USA clamps, $15
MityVac, military collapsible shovel, a Fuller C-clamp, some air fittings and a Shrader blow gun, a measuring cup thing, and an old German dremel sort of tool, I’ve no idea if it’s any good but it works, was german so I grabbed it lol. I think this lot was maybe $20-25 as well, hard to remember what I spent on things and how they were grouped.
This old lamp was free, I thought it was neat.
And now, my most prized possession lol. THE HOSSFELD UNIVERSAL BENDER! If it weren’t for This Old Tony I wouldn’t have known what this beauty was. No tooling but I talked to the guys and there is some more stuff in the shop they hadn’t gone through yet so I gave them my number in case they find any more. This and the little pile of tubing in the next pic plus a few other random items was only $40!!
Somewhere long the way I acquired another 10” adjustable Crescent and two small Proto wrenches. This one is not nearly as thick as my other 10” Crescent...
Also bought a newer Craftsman table saw for $90. All in all not a bad day
Another sweet screwdriver haul Jeff! I’m a sucker for a good screwdriver haul!
As it should be! I lost a lot in Lucent stock in the early 2000's.
I only found a couple items this past weekend. A MAC double socket end wrench and a Bonney double end flare nut wrench. $4 total.
@Ryan_340 ***** for the vise!
Found an unmarked tool box to rummage through at an antique store today. Found a rusted knife that I thought was an old western. Man at the counter said $2. Why not. My son is ten and has been wanting a fixed blade. After a little cleaning my assumption was confirmed and then exceeded. It’s a Boy Scout edition!
Joining the chorus of ****. Congrats!
I started disassembly on the vise. Once I got the swivel base & lead nut removed, the pin popped right out!
What did you use to clean that knife up?No question of @Ryan_340's Suckage for the Prentiss vise!
@Southern83 You **** for that sweet Western Boy Scout knife. I found a Western 648B a few weeks back for next to nothing and flipped it for a tidy sum. It had a lot more pitting than yours but cleaned up nicely.
@BD55 ***** for that great cabinet! I'd be sorely temped to sand and refinish the top--but leave the well earned holes and gouges!
Evaporust on the blade. Simple Green and a nylon bristle brush on the scales followed by mineral oil. The mineral oil soaked right in and left the scales in their original condition.
