I found these at an estate sale on Friday. It had been pretty picked over and I was surprised that these were still available. -Don

Just in the 1/4” drive sets. The 1/2” drive 8 point sockets are readily available in regular S-K knurled sockets but they seem rare in the S-K Chrome marked sockets. -Don

I like that extra long screwdriver! Here is a 3/8“ drive Plonb WF-23 speeder that I would like to see go to a WF tool collector. -Don

I think that the 8 point S-K Chrome sockets are a cool find. I checked pictures of my S-K Chrome box and I don’t see any 8 point sockets. -Don

My Mac example may have been made in 1981. -Don

I was unable to resist this 1945 18” example at a Nevada estate sale yesterday. Some of the original black paint is showing and the jaws are decent. As found. Began the cleanup. -Don

We had to stop and take some pictures of this potential treasure we spotted as we drove by a yard in Minden. I had to make sure that it wasn’t the one we sold a few decades back but it was just a look alike. My wife commuted in hers for over 100,000 miles after I restored it. Post freeway rear...

A last minute Craigslist ad for an estate sale in Gardnerville, NV showing a Snap-on stack and saying “tools, tools, tools”, got us headed for Nevada this morning.

This early WW2 1/2” drive Indestro set arrived from an eBay seller yesterday. It is missing a 1/2” D-I socket which shouldn’t be a problem. The ratchet is non reversing whIch was a bit of a surprise but at least it came with the drive plug. -Don

Although you can’t see the slots in the catalog image, they were very likely in this set in ‘61. Early and later 4511 sets. -Don

The lower box with the slots is slightly more modern than the upper box. The S-K emblem with the up arrow started In 1946. The emblem without the up arrow started in the mid ‘50s and was used until the change to the S-K Wayne marking around ‘62 or so. I made a bid on one of those 3/8” drive...

That’s what I’ve done in the past for all the drive sizes. -Don

Yeah, this one was rust free unlike my first one. Both are kind of notchy though. Neither would be my first choice as a user. -Don

I couldn’t resist this at a local yard sale on Saturday, especially after I heard the price. I put it in my drawer of antique woodworking tools. -Don

Recent Walden acquisitions from eBay sellers. -Don
