This is Amazing!

I was wondering thru my local pawn shop yesterday and came across this "pak socket" set. I've never seen one like it before. I was wondering if anybody else has one, or knows much about them? Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics!

I got the handles I needed. They have great customer service and were right on top of things! I contacted them Monday and my handles were here today! I was surprised they even had them considering how old the box is!:bounce:

I don't think...

I bought a vintage waterloo industries toolbox at my local pawn show this morning. It's approx. 27" wide, 13" tall, and 8 1/2" deep with 8 drawers. I'll add pics of it when I can. She's in pretty rough shape, so I'm in need of some parts. Is there anywhere to get parts for something like this or...
