Wards tools

[RCStocker]

I know Power Craft was made by Wards and Pen Craft by JC Penney's
I came across a Wards 19/32" socket the other day. It is old but is very well made and my bet it will be around for hundreds of years the quality is so good.

If anyone is collecting Wards sockets and would like this one let me know.
The socket is free to someone who is collecting them.

I am a big fan of the Ward's Powr-Kraft with W in the serial. I believe them to be better than any sockets Craftsman ever sold.

If memory serves, Powr Kraft tools with "W" in the part number were made by Wright Tool and Forge. Really good quality stuff

Ward's also sold tools under the Ward's Master and Lakeside tools named.
I believe most were made by Stanley and Sargent.
Most items sold by Wards were actually very good quality.

Marty, I'm going to 2014 to try to complete my socket collection. If I strike out there I'll go to 1965 & buy them new.

Wow. I nearly forgot about him! This led me to click on his posts (a Williams topic in particular). I saw a post from member Flatintoone in that Williams topic. Who I have also not seen in a while.
That led me to click on his posts, and Flatintoone has not posted since the 2014Garage sale thread!
