Tools I have collected...Now learning what I have!

[Blucuss]

I have been collecting tools through out the years but not until recently have I really cared about the name brand. I just recently started to organize my small collection of hand me downs and other tools I purchased to complete projects in the garage and/or around the home. Most of the tools that I have are common CM and others I don't know much about. Yes...I am a newbie so please any information on the following pictures would be appreciated. Thanks!

What brand are these pliers? Only info I can find is that they are made in France?

Williams USA

Craftsman USA

Craftsman and Williams 1/2"dr Ratchets

Wall Art -- Huge Willaims Wrenches

Any value or just tools to keep in the box?

Pliers look, like they might be old Facom.

The ratchet on the left is what's commonly known as a "round head fine tooth," or RHFT on the forum. They can go for pretty good money on ebay.

The ratchet on the right is a Williams Superratchet. A very nice dual-pawl design.

The Waterpump pliers were Bahco's as already stated, but rebranded under Snap-on's Blue Point brand, part # AP10. I have a pair and they work well.

If you need a place to send those pliers, let me know. Nice acquisitions.

Great info! I always wondered what RHFT on this forum stood for...

Monte, so the oem in Bahco; do they have manufacturing in France and Argentina now, or are these sub companies or sub contracted out?

I have a couple of the RHFT ratchets: 1/4" and 1/2". After reading all the positive comments on those ratchets, I wish I had purchased the 3/8" regular and flex-head ratchets.

Now, those two are ones that I'm looking for. I know that repair kits are no longer available, so I'll be particularly careful if I find them for sale and make sure the actions work properly.

You can still get repair kits. In fact Armstrong and Napa still sell ratchets with the same mechanism.

Napa:
1/4" Dr. #NM-47 (rebuild kit #10908)

3/8" Dr. #NB-47 (rebuild kit #11908)

1/2" Dr. #NS-47 (rebuild kit #12809)

Armstrong:
1/4" Dr. #10-915 (rebuild kit #10-963)

3/8" Dr. #11-915 (rebuild kit #11-963)

1/2" Dr. #12-915 (rebuild kit #12-963)

Been using my rhft for 30 some years and wondered if they could be repaired if they ever broke

Bahco produces in Argentina already since the 1970´s.
Bahco makes some tools in france like pruning tools ("Bahco Pradines")
