Will do. If for no other reason, the heads are thin, which is good, but they are too big around and look like they would not fit in tight places. Thanks everyone.

I have opportunity to buy a set of these - but - Who made them? When were they made? What level of quality are they? The only markings are "CHROM-VANADIUM" and the wrench sizes (no "E" in Chom). No markings on reverse side. Thanks Al

This 1/2" drive breaker bar was in 4 boxes of stuff I was recently given. It has a drive square on the handle end! A friend suggested it was for use with a female ratchet as an extension. Duro-Chrome 657DK about 15" long.

I thought I would have a go and look up H.F. Osborne to see if I could figger out what that tool was. I was born in Newark NJ so that made it more interesting. I didn't find much except other leatherworking tools - but on one page was the hammer I just acquired in a batch of old tools. I had...

Diamond/Diamalloy is my favorite adjustable but I have two older Crescents, 8 and 12 inch, that are very smooth and handle well. Here are my Diamond wrenches along with two 6"ers made under contract for Montgomery Ward, a Wards and a Wards Master Quality (thanks Alloy Artifacts for...

Good News! Via lptools, I have received this message from Patrick - Noel Hankamer's son: "Hey folks, I'm still trying to figure out what's going on with the Tool Talk forum, but the web host (Godaddy) is being a pain. If there are other members on the forum that you're in contact with, please...

Found the 13/16 at a flea market. Still looking for a Wards Master ignition wrench 9/32 x 11/32. Anxious to find to complete set in tool roll, to be part of a tool kit for a Wards motorcycle. Needed to complete a set - have 1/4 thru 7/8 except the 13/16. Looking for the exact style as in the...

Thanks everyone and especially RTD - perfect! - more than I hoped for. Al

I picked this up today for way less than a buck. It is a screwdriver of a sort. Like its meant to turn a screw that fits over a shaft. As you can see the screwdriver shaft is hollow. Marked OTC D-10, outside diameter about 3/8". Can anyone tell me what it fits, and on what vehicle it is...

I picked up this 6" adjustable at a yard sale for a buck. Model BW-6.

I have all but the one wrench 9/32 - 11/32. The set is 4 wrenches, a pair of ignition pliers and vinyl pouch. Will pay fair price and shipping. The wrench should look like the one on top in below photo (but hopefully as shiny as the smaller one below it): Will be used in a Wards Mojave...

Thanks for edumacating me Lugnutz. Art Steel Co? World War II - Wow! What do think is the purpose of the small 90 degree tab near the handle? Oh - this chest weighs 25.2 pounds - empty!

I bought a Park machinist tool chest a while ago and wanted to just clean it and use it. Didn't work - the cleaning process ended up losing half the paint and I had to repaint it. It looks great but I lost the original "Park" logo. Last week I bought this box at a garage sale and was determined...

I remember seeing an ebay listing for the set including the original vinyl roll. That set (if I remember correctly) had a 1/4 - 5/16. I tried to find one for a long time and finally found this one last week. Its a little rusty and slightly mismatched but it'll have to do. Thanks, Don.

Just scanned this Powr-Kraft thread. The tool boxes are cool. I was just working on a ebay listing for a complete set of Powr-Kraft open end wrenches, a 10 piece set 1/4 thru 1-1/8. It was missing the 1/4 - 5/16 wrench but I finally found one that I think may be correct - but still not 100%...
