Cool. I’ll take a look and see what I’ve got.

Some more wards stuff. Speedmaster nut spinner set.

 

[davethorik]

Someone else uploaded this pic here, I'm thinking misterbill.
Anyway, nice set otg. Been looking for a set of those just for a novelty.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

I have not tried them but should work pretty good. Here are some wards master sockets.

 

[jgromada]

not much for me, just some random sockets not real post-worthy

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Just spotted this one on ebay

OTG, davethorik's post shows how the 10-points work, but it would be interesting to see a hex nut sitting in one of your sockets!

 

[Oldtuleguy]

I will post pic

I found a 3/8" breaker bar buried in my Thorsen set the other day. Don't know why it was in there.

I should post a pic.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

On that note (sorry this took so long)

 

[Provincial]

Thanks OTG! It does help understanding how the torque is applied. It hits four points on the hex, with the long flats having more contact area, but most of it not working area.

I can see where these would be handy for someone that encountered both square and hex fasteners on a regular basis, especially if there wasn't a need to deal with rusty or high-torque situations.

On that note (sorry this took so long)

It looks wrong but I guess it’s Wright. I checked my drive tools and I have an extra 3/8” drive tootsie roll rat but no extra 1/2” drive ones.

Spotted this one locally..... Powr Kraft 100 set No. 4801 looks like a regular Wright ratchet as the insert shows one with a grip on it like Oldtuleguy posted.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

That one looks new

I received a nice group of Powr-Kraft items from misterbill yesterday. A pop rivet tool in the pouch that cleaned up really well, a slotted screwdriver and a 3/8” to 1/4” adapter that I was missing. Thanks, Bill!

[Grandpa's tools]

Here are the Powr-kraft ratcheting wrenches I picked up at a garage sale last summer for $5. 3/4 x 7/8, 11/16 x 13/16, 5/8 x 3/4, and 5/8 x 11/16 12- points, and a 3/8 x 7/16 6- point. All marked "Powr- Kraft 100" and "84-4738"

I found this Wright made ratchet at the Tahoe flea yesterday. The selector is different than my other Wright made Powr-Kraft ratchets.

[misterbill]

I wonder if that is based on/similar to the Wright MN-70 from the late 1950s.

 

[davethorik]

Just picked this up today. Powr Kraft 481500 ratchet, 3/8 with "quick release" in the form of dual ejector pins. Same as the Thorsen 89J.

 

[d42jeep]

Nice. I posted mine in #78. I recently found the Thorsen version.

[Oldtuleguy]

I have come into a set of penens era speedmaster socket wrenches. Missing a few random sockets and extensions but pretty complete.

 

[d42jeep]

I’ve only found a few of those.

Some new britain looking wardmaster ratchets

 

[d42jeep]

Here is my new Powr-Kraft drill that I found at the Tahoe flea yesterday. It looks like a match to my sander posted upthread. They actually sort of work although they won’t be seeing much activity in the future.

[d42jeep]

I found a few Powr-Kraft tools at the flea on Saturday.

[Mick56]

Picked this up a couple weeks ago at a sale.

 

[d42jeep]

I’m glad you posted you nice set. I wondered what tool was missing that went in the narrow slot. Now I’ll be looking for a crossbar along with my other missing pieces.
I found a decent DBE wrench yesterday and a 1/4” drive metric socket and a DOE wrench today.

Recently picked up at garage sale: Powr-Kraft aluminum rafter square.

[d42jeep]

My wife spotted this Powr-Kraft drill at a Markleeville, CA garage sale yesterday. I was skeptical about buying another old drill but after checking more closely I couldn’t leave it behind. It works like new and came with the original box and instruction pamphlet.

This 120v stick welder showed up on the local fb marketplace. Cool, ut obsolete

 

[davethorik]

Just got this Wright-made Powr-Kraft long 1/2 drive ratchet in a lot of tools. It has some issues (chrome chips on head are from it being used as a hammer aggressively and repeatedly). It still works but it's also missing the detent ball (oops, should have looked closer). Still think it's cool, never had a long 1/2 Tootsie Roll before.

 

[d42jeep]

I found these three little guys at the Tahoe flea yesterday.

[d42jeep]

I found a decent group of Powr-Kraft tools at an estate sale on Friday. Here they are before and after cleaning except for the pipe wrench which is in the evaporust.

Picked up this great condition tool box last year.

Well, I got this ratchet functional. It will never win any beauty contests but it works great. I was worried the hammer use might have affected head roundness, but it is still round, and the teeth look great.

I found a NOS Fairmount-branded Wright made 1/2 ratchet for $2 at the flea as a guts donor.

Some work with a carbide burr and belt sander, new guts, a few drops of Mobil DTE Light, and this sucker is smooth.

 

[d42jeep]

It’s nice that you brought it back to life. I hate seeing the results of some clown using a ratchet for a hammer. I pulled the rusty pipe wrench out of the evaporust this afternoon and it looks much better.
