Show Your Williams

[nine4gmc]

And the bulk of my Williams collection here. I have from 1/4" up to 1-5/16 in triple line combo wrenches, then a 1-5/8 standard Williams and a freak DOE thats 1-5/8 on one end and 1-7/16(IIRC) on the other but it's been welded together from two separate wrenches! There is an ignition wrench set with mini pliers top right, 1/2" drive sockets from 3/8 up to 1-1/8, impact adapter, two speeders, ratchets and extensions left, Vulcan DOE set and Vulcan combo wrenches, feeler gauge, phillips head sockets, 6, 8 and 10" pliers and the same size adjustables bottom right. I also have a handful of 3/8 drive sockets not shown. That lone combo wrench on the wrench roll I made is an extra 9/16 if anyone needs it, let me know.

 

[Carves]

Thought I had one laying around somewhere ....

A 7/16th open ender spanner.

Nothing real special about it, that I know of ... other than its current location perhaps ..

 

[GeorgeFromPa]

all USA williams except the Impacts. Looking for used snap-on for the 1/2 metric set cause williams dont make 6 points in the US set.

 

[Tippletrash]

Thanks nines, nice superratchets my old man has one in 3/4 like those and i cant get him to come off of it. Guess i can't blame him i wouldnt either

 

[Tippletrash]

Nice socket collection there george, i'm wanting to build up my metric with some more williams. What brand is those socket trays in the front of your box, they look pretty nice.

 

[martin666]

Modest collection of Williams I've gathered over the years, some of my favorite tools

Westling.

 

[altersaddle]

All I've got. I had the sockets listed for sale in the classifieds but now I think I'll keep them and build up a set of 12pt with them instead.

Nice to see some interest in this thread again Tipple. Some nice stuff there guys!
Alter did you create that wrench board?

 

[3baygarage]

Nice collection Tippletrash!

Here is a 1/2" Superratchet top and Koto 3/8 bottom apparently made by Williams.

Nine, that ratchet still baffles me. I remember when you found it. I still believe it has to be a knockoff but a darn good one at that. Looks like it does not have the signature Williams lock ring on the other side. I'd love to find one of those.

I did make it myself. "Build" (paint) thread is here.

I'm still looking for a three bar 13/16", and to replace some of the mismatched / off brand ones with the three bar style.

 

[Tippletrash]

Yes glad to see this threads coming back to life keep em coming guys. I'll see if i can dig up some more of my williams to help the cause.

 

[Tippletrash]

Nice board alter, was thinking about doing one myself if i ever get a chance.

 

[harleybuilder]

Anyone else have any of the 3 line stubby wrenches? I found 1 that I didn't know I had, it is a " S-1166" 3/4".

 

[nine4gmc]

Another tool to look for! :

 

[dlfiene]

My Williams so far, SuperCombos. Amazing wrenches
Metric 7-21mm and SAE 1/4 - 7/8

If anyone has these racks in Blue, I want to buy them!

Does anyone know the maker of these wrench racks in this picture?

Damn ! I didn't know they made those.

 

[harleybuilder]

The "S-1166" is 6 15/16" long. The "1166" is 10 1/2" long.

 

[zkling]

On the road, only thing williams handy is my 3/4" superratchet.

 

[3baygarage]

That's a good ratchet ^

I picked these up not too long ago. Partial metric set. I need a couple to fill it out. Looks like they weren't too well taken care of by the previous owner.

Slightly different than yours, they are the two sided Williams Vulcan.

 

[Tippletrash]

Dang 3bay stubbys, metric, and vulcan all in one definitely first I've seen any of those pretty sweet. I'd say those babies are pretty rare these days.

 

[Tippletrash]

Zkling you got a tough ratchet there, i use my dads quite a bit around the farm its definitely a good one.

Hey 3bay,those look familiar . A partial metric set I picked up a couple weeks back. I don't think I have seen the Williams ones in metric but obviously they are out there in Vulcan/Williams form. They are not really stubby's I would just call them short wrenches

 

[padroo]

I worked for Bethlehem Steel in Indiana for 28 years as a millwright until they went bankrupt. They bought a lot of Williams tools and they never failed.

 

[3baygarage]

Those are great! Saw them in the garage sale thread! Basically they are all the same Williams wrenches. If we put are sets together.......I think we still don't have a complete set.

 

[Tippletrash]

That's pretty neat Padroo, Bethlehem used to own the mines i work at back in the 80s early 90s. Some of the williams we have at work is from when they owned it.

I don't know how much the newer Williams tools make there way into the plants these days now that they are the Williams divsion of Snap-on rather than the stand alone Williams Company from back in the day. Of course since they are so long lasting plenty of the old school ones around I am sure. I see quite a bit of Proto around these days in the plants.

FWIW, I designed a good portion of the Burns Harbor Ladle Metallurgy/ Vacuum Degassing facility back in the day. That (integrated) plant is new compared to most/all the others in the country !

I wonder what different sizes were available, I don't have newer catalog showing these type wrenches.

 

[Tippletrash]

Flyer, most all are williams are old survivers, I believe they have ordered some newer stuff from mcmaster carr a few years ago. You are definitely right on the Proto anything new we get now and the majority of our tools is Proto.

 

[jakemac]

I just found a 1" drive extension at a YARD SALE !?!?!
It was the only socket tool they had, but I only had to pay $5.

Williams # -X-110- 8" extension

 

[Ign]

How 'bout Williams + LeBlond?

 

[nine4gmc]

That 1" drive is comically huge, I would post my new find but a 1/2" drive extension is embarrassing compared to that.

 

[Kensgarage]

I need a set of those black hex stem drivers

 

[ganymede]

View media item 54946Here's another 1st variation S-52 Superatchet.

 

[930dreamer]

These two 1/4" drive Williams were in this Craftsman set I picked up.

Sweet. You've got both versions, the older fancy handle and the knurled one.

 

[FOCUS.FREAK]

I bought these from toolsdelivered.com great tools. I will eventually be replacing my chrome sockets with their socket sets. 9/10 exactly same as snap on. Will buy more

 

[Rileysan]

I have a few Williams items hanging around my shop, but none more interesting (to me, anyways) than this set of 1/2 drive deep sockets. Not all are the same vintage and one is a Proto replacement. I've had them for years and have no idea where I got them.


Also including a picture of a large Superwrench I picked up a few weeks ago. I think it's a 7/8". Paid $1

Picked this up for free at local pawn today (no, not a 5 finger discount). 11/16". Backside says S-1165 Superrench USA.

Yours for cost of shipping if anyone wants it. PM me

 

[nine4gmc]

Good stuff guys, I need to post my latest acquisition.
