These are Made by the Proxene Tooling Corp in Taiwan. All of the Proxene made Adjustables are really good high quality pieces. They make the Milwaukee, Williams, Proto, Hart, Blackhawk, Teng tools Paramount tools industrial line, Fulco Jonnsway and many others Adjustable wrenches. They have...

Getting snowed in. Got bored. Idle hands and all. Factory Seconds and obliterated 712-S Proto. 35min nickle plate after restification. Had slight bend and bad factory grinding of forge line. I always try to leave previous owners names or initials and if its a factory reject I try to preserve...

Wife got me a 5 gallon Ultrasonic cleaner for Christmas. I have been putting it back to work on some of my Random Adjustable wrenches from my collection. Here's a little Dunlap 8 inch Adjustable wrench made by Mckaig-Hatch. Before and after. I did not re-park or redo the black oxide coating...

Who do you think made this Ratchet? No other marking than what is shown. Looks to be a W in a circle 1-2 .Looks to have a Bonney mechanism but a not finished forged body of a Williams. The mech is a single sliding type pawl. Thanks ahead of time

I think you are seeing the pat date of 1902 but yeah that's what it is. Looks to be an F model. This company was bought by Yost and they later produced a version of it.

Williamson Universal Double swivel.. Blacksmith tools has one in his collection. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxJk4rnrSTl/

Jacked up post on my end.

Top. Barbero Modelo No6 Bottom. Palmgren Model No6

Looks like a Williamson universal double swivel. Better get it. Ad off ebay says 1909.

After the first one, I started scoring the tape and then wrapping a shop towel on the long end soaked in carb cleaner. Covered them up with a plastic shopping bag. Stuff just scraped off easy with a plastic putty knife after that.

I have 8 of them. They all had the Origin of manufacture on the sticker on the box. All from Argentina. Even the two 8" x 5.5" anvil style units I bought before they sold out. 😀 8" x 5.5" sitting on the 8" x 9" Engineers style unit.

All of these Palmgren Engineers Bench Vises are made in Argentina by Barbero S.A

There's 2 on ebay. Both do not have the center bolt or the lockdown bolts and handles. A newer 204 or 104 swivel should work and they still have the old timey look to them and are very substantial in build. This is a 2024 production yost 204 I just got. They are made in Taiwan now but they...

Rustoleum midnight ink blue is a good close color to the Yost original color. Mine is painted bright orange so I would quit running into it at work lol! My 1974 204 has a bolt spacing of 4- 5/8". I'd call Eastwood and talk to a tech line guy and see if you cannot find a base for the bolt...

Let's see the bottom of it.
