Todays yard sale find

[Tucko]

Two Peterson grips, and a Roper Whitney punch. $40.

Nice. Friday garage sales . . . hmmm

 

[MFolks]

Roper Whitney punches are great for smooth holes in material that would tear when drilled. It looks like the punches and dies are all there.

not to bad of a deal.

I have a smaller version of that punch and it's one of the best built hand tools in the history of the world.

Those larger Whitney's are spendy if you buy it new.

Good find Tucko! You bested me. I paid $40 for this one, no vise grips included. This tool is excellent at punching holes.

I wonder how old ours are - any idea?

What Jack said!

I have two Whitney punches in the shop somewhere. I'll try and get some pics of them to add to your post. Though neither of mine are as old or as nice as yours.

Good buy mate.

This is my 3rd one. I have 2 of the #5's. One is ancient, in the metal box. The other is newer, hardly used at all.
