Lets make an all vintage Snap-on tool picture thread!

[Freeborn John]

Just out of curiosity, what is the very earliest Snap-On tool (with provenence) that's turned up, I imagine that it would be quite the prize in the Snap-On world.

 

[3baygarage]

Maybe the holes are for a ball. I do not have an example with the ball, but what else could the hole be for.
Here is a 33 with the ball on the inside side, I think this started in about 31.

I haven't seen one of those with side hole. I'm not sure if these ever had a ball or any functioning lock. It seems that would have fallen apart when the head was rotated. The gap seems large for a small ball to make constant contact.

It would help to see some more examples.

 

[snapmom]

Well, there is no practical reason to have a detent ball there. Also its not made to hold a ball. So these may be oil ports. pic shows two No. 10 . A 28 that has a tight fit, letting you place the head in any position. A 30 that is sloppy. Both have the holes like the F10, but bigger.

 

[3baygarage]

I’m thinking the hole was part of production. I saw that, how the catalog is worded. I guess it’s true, when new anyway.

Hmmm, that may be a possibility. The image is not good enough for me to see the shape of the hole. Could it be a center drilled hole to use a tailstock when turning the OD?

I think so

Snap on M28 and M29. 9/32 drive Phillips No. 1 and No. 2. No snap on logo, Head has Non Rpl. no date codes.
Only show up in the 39 cat. Quite rare.

 

[3baygarage]

Non rpl, that's different. Pretty cool.

 

[Private Lugnutz]

Very cool, Snapmom.

Non Rpl.

Are these the only bits you have seen that particular stamp? Assuming, "Non Replaceable," and functioning the same as the "No Guar" notices on all their small cruciform bits.

no date codes.
Only show up in the 39 cat.

Jibes with the 1937 Phillips patents.

 

[Old Radar]

@snapmom does the No. 28 have a Phillips license? The shape looks a little "off" to be a Phillips. Possibly a Frearson?

 

[snapmom]

The non rpl is very hard to find. I have a 71a rat from 34 that has it. also have a M25 slotted driver that has it, but its sister a M24 has Not Guar. I suspect that the non rpl shows up early, and in about 40 or so, snap on changed it to Not Guar.

Yes, but its very light. Also it shows on the MP12 an MP22 bits from the early 40s

 

[Ayrhead]

Hi All: I came across a couple of the rethreading sets… the large set doesn’t even look like they were used much

 

[Shelbylex]

Slowly working on my "Black ring" Snap On deep metric set. Not sure when it was made ? 60s-70s?

Missing:
8mm (?not sure if this exists - never saw one)
10mm

Would be good to replace in the future as the chrome at the edge is pealing (especially 15...)
13mm
15mm

If anybody has extras - let me know - I have a couple of extras or could see if I have anything that you would be interested in... (NB 14mm 12 point in the back is not a "Black ring" version)

 

[genog]

I was looking through my drawer of tape measures to post pics in the Lufkin Thread and ran across this Snappy

 

[Oldtuleguy]

There probably was a deep 8, my short ones run 8 to 19mm, deeps 10 to 18, my 1/4" drives 4 to 14 short and deep.

 

[Shelbylex]

Thank you, OTG.
Nice - you have multiple sets!!! I think I saw a universal of this model once.
I have a few of deep 1/4, but not enough to post yet...

I found a picture of 8mm one on the internet. Will add it to a list of sockets I need...


Do you use them? I wonder if chrome was weaker on them or my 13 and 15mm were just used way too many times?

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Those have been retired. The newer set I have did come with the 8.

 

[d42jeep]

I saw an eBay listing today for an expensive partial set that went down to 8mm.
I traded one of mine to Tin Medic for a more modern one. I only have these three which I’ve had for a long time in my user toolbox. A 10, 12 & 17mm. I wouldn’t mind finding a 15mm in either style

[Oldtuleguy]

They seem pricey on ebay

Cross posted from another thread

Somebody just bought Snap On K60 missing handles for bigger drawers and with black respray from Farmington CT for $200 !!!

Guy promised to send few more pictures last night (told him I want few more pictures (to make sure hinges are not broken - 2+ hour drive from me...) and am ready to drive today in AM to pick it up...)

Whoever bought it - hopefully one of our members - CONGRATULATIONS!!!

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Just look for an unmolested example. Bigger drawers and missing handles sounds like a big project.

 

[Shelbylex]

Keep looking - hopefully one day I find it. I honestly would prefer to pay for a one in good shape which does not require any work : )

 

[d42jeep]

I found these three pieces at an Oakland tool sale yesterday. After cleaning they all were added to my user toolbox. The shorty 5/8” combo is from ‘64.

 

[humber2]

What and when was 2244-H used for?

It is a forged piece with two semicircular collars welded or brazed on. The hex is 1 1/2”

TIA

 

[MR.X]

Oil Pump Allison V-1710. Large end for the oil pressure relief valve cap (1) small end for the relief valve adjusting plug(4).

 

[snapmom]

DE-1 offset handle, both have a 31 date code, these are quite hard to find.

 

[snapmom]

A 1935 model K4B 28" speeder. There are three types of this model, this one has the model number, has the newer type handle. Its the only one I have seen of this type. Last seen in the 35 cat.

 

[Muttly]

I saw this at an estate sale and thought it looked early with the taper of the handle and small hole. Looks like second year of the F70A.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

1935

[/QUOTE]
I have some non rpl marked stuff somewhere that's probably about mid 40s pretty sure I'll have to double check. It does seem to have phased out, but from what I "understand" (and by "understand" I mean Slightly educated speculative understanding) the Not gaur is basically saying it's absolutely not covered at all under warranty while non rpl is like "we'll see if we can fix it but don't hold your breath" hard to say though. They seemed to be very inconsistent. I've seen non rpl and not gaur m-21's and a bunch of things that usually are marked with either one that aren't and others that I have no idea why it's marked not gaur. Like this pickle fork here with these screwdriver bits that are marked not gaur but these others aren't it's odd

Wow I bungled that last message up big time. Seems like something is different when uploading pics now

 

[Steven 33]

It would help to see some more examples.

Here's an old husky and mtf and williams and a Snap-on nut spinner speeder and regular 1/2 drive nut spinner. The williams is really loose and the Snap-on ones are old pics so not sure on those besides you can see the knotches for different angles and the husky has 3 different holes for the detent ball in the head and the mtf has just the one to keep it straight.

The good news is, you can edit it, and no one will know.

I was going to say, "Just use the [@ Attach files] button at the bottom. It's much easier, they don't take up the whole dang screen (yes, I hate the scrolling, scrolling, scrolling...), and they are expandable if you click on them," but I see he already did just that.

 

[GX460DIYguy]

Picked this up today to throw in with our 3/4” just in case stuff. I saw a previous comment about the “44” markings but no answer that I saw. I’m guessing date code?

 

[snapmom]

i don’t think anyone has figured out what the 44 code is

 

[930dreamer]

Help ID this set? K60? Seller is asking $5K with the tools.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

40s k260 stack. They have been getting pricey but 5k seems high, unless it's got some nice tools in it, which is unlikely.
