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

[snapmom]

1935? Too bad the pin was replaced by a cotter pin....

you can make one buy using a finishing nail.

I have a soft spot for early Ford Snap On tools. Here is a king pin press and perch pin puller set and a tapered shaft steering wheel puller.

Oh those are nice! They give kr Wilson a run for their money any day!

I think these two tools are actually better than the KR Wilson versions. I've used both.

TS-462 socket. Six point, 3/4 drive , 1-7/16 opening. 1940 date code. 1/2” deep.
i don’t find it in any cat. The 462 matches the size number assigned to a s/o 1-7/16 sock.
usually specials are like S9xxx. The TS is later used in 1/2 dr deep socks.
there maybe a set of these, but this is the only one I have seen.

I have inserted a drill bit of the right size, **** first, and snapped it off with good luck.

Had a nice Snap-On haul this week.
- Partial Ferret socket set. 15/32 in there!
-one 9/32 drive
- random metric and SAE
-Three very nice 1/2” drive flex sockets.
-1/4” drive socket set. I thought it was 9/32 drive as I was too excited to pay attention. Box was painted by seller. Still fresh,lol. One socket is a Bonney. Please excuse the Williams spinner. Got it the same day.
-4 deep well 1/4” from another seller
-2 offset 020 screwdrivers
-2 unbranded H-50-B hammer head screwdrivers!
-blue point doe and ignition wrench. Not sure if the smaller -unmarked ignitions are BP, they were together.
-Ferret F-5-C t handle
-1/2” No. 71-N ratchet
-9mm combo
-N-5178 small flat specialty wrench

USN engraved

4 deeps I found the same day

Two 020 offset screwdrivers. One is top stamped and one is side stamped.


Two different H-50-B hammer head screwdrivers. One is NOT GUAR and one is NON RPL. Someone drove a little cross bar through top one.

Little box holds alot.

I had one a while back. I think I asked you about it but I can't seem to find any pictures or anything right now. Was probably a couple years ago now. I'll see if I can find it and see if it was a different part number

 

[Snaparxon]

Possibly a Snap on made tool for Gulmite fasteners? Only markings are US patent Gulmite 2103944
Has an 8 on the end of the handle to indicate the size. The handle is identical to other marked Snap on tools I have.

Snap on BF768 body iron , date code 1937
hard to find, I still need a few body tools.
a odd thing, the irons start out as snap on, but later ones seem to be blue point. Hard to say what, when, as examples are hard to find. In the hammers and Dollie’s, BP came first

 

[Steven 33]

This just about seals to deal for me. I have some husky Pieces That Look like Rebranded snap on tools,
But this particular husky socket Seems pretty definitive to me. Not only Is the number font and Location Identical to snap on, For the it's also the only Non specialty husky socket I've seen that's actually marked "husky"

 

[z28lsc]

I got this ratchet in a recent Haul. It cleaned up pretty good.

This board has been for sale on FB Marketplace for a while now ($550).



I only have one distributor wrench and it appears to be the one they're missing.

 

[3baygarage]

If you're a collector you want to add that one.

MIntgrin, I guess they makes your wrench priceless. They'll have to jack up the price of their board if you help them complete it.

You gotta complete your set.

Those are some crazy odds!

MIntgrin, I guess they makes your wrench priceless.

Someone else might look at it like, 'Hmm, 15 wrenches for $550 is about $36.67 per wrench.' I like your economics philosophy much better!

 

[TheRealZeus]

What RTM said!

 

[Mintgrun]

I've gone so far as to type out a message to the seller to see if they want mine, but never sent it. I'm not sure I feel like going to the trouble of selling/sending mine. The cost of shipping seems huge, when selling low-dollar items and that's pretty much all I own!

But, what value will your wrench add to his set's value? Personally seems like he's over valuing his set. Maybe post yours in the same or similar media, at an outrageous price? Just for fun of course, see if he's looking?

I don't know how I loosened all those distributors without that set

I think this wrench is SO/BP contract production of some kind. I picked up a few oddballs recently. Maybe I’m way off.

Snapmom are you familiar with this one? Looks like a 9/16 box.

Dual numbers, no date markings.
YK-5020

I found some unusual Snap-on sockets yesterday. Many have the look of early impact sockets.

Here's a cat picture of a husky breaker bar. Looks identical to snap on besides the handle.

 

[3baygarage]

Well, I got that last one at a sale yesterday. Here is another I picked up yesterday at the flea. Glad I kept digging.

Odd that it’s a Blue-Point Supreme used as an “N” wrench. Not sure I’ve seen that ever.

Appears to be a cut and weld of two wrenches from 1951 to get two 1” open ends. The beams also are narrowed near the heads. 12” long.

N-5638

Snap-On, Husky, Milwaukee, Blackhawk. The fixed 90 was the thing back in the day. Then along came that innovative thing, the sliding T bar, lol.

 

[3baygarage]

This one came off Ebay. Ran into by chance. It’s a large wrench at 14” long.

Looks like it was formed from Blue-Point X24 Boxsockets. 3/4 wrench ends.

# S-7562
with a -29 stamp!



Can see 3/4 stamp, part of Boxsocket, and X24.

-29 stamp

Finally (crazy, somehow picked up these specials all in about a week), my favorite recent Snap-On addition.

Huge acknowledgement to Snapmom who posted this wrench a long time back. I’ve always wanted to find one. Saw this on Ebay and took a shot. Maybe the seller was drinking and hit the wrong button as somehow they accepted my offer and I wound up with it. It was stated that they cleaned it up. They sure did a beautiful job!

I’ll have it known this wrench came from Michigan. The stampings have me thinking Ford production related.

Edit: Markings are 5Z 3566 stamped on each head
7/16” and 1/2” square ends.
1935 date coded.
15-1/2” long.

Check if it maybe isn't 5z-3566 instead of 63

Ahh, thank you both. It’s not very clear. I’ll change it.

Here is a few unexpected finds from my recent ES haul. Saw these shiny bits in a tool box, and immediately attracted to them. I have a vintage similar spinner from my grandfather, but its about 5/8" thick, some type of plastic for the finger grip. It was essentially permanently attached to my spark plug changing ratchet / socket / extension, as I always used them together. These are much thinner at the knurled edge, but the overall thickness is about the same.

1/4" drive TMS70, no date code
3/8" drive FRS 70 no date code
Not sure how old they are, but the current online offering has a stepped top instead of a domed top. The 1980 version is close, but is listed as an FRS70a


Saw this weird thing attached to a socket rail, did not recognize it at first. Pulled it out, saw the Snap-on marking and a number, knew (95%) I could find the information. Gave it a quick spritz to remove the spider webs and **** from it. Its an FD250 Weatherhead tool. I saw Snapmom's enclosed set above, bu this is different, an open end to it. I suspect hers is better. This seems to have a 1965 date code. Obviously led a hard life, drive end wallowed out, freckled with rust bits, the inside is either trashed or covered with really nasty stuff. I have no use for this, so if someone needs if for real, or to complete a set, drop me a note.
