Garage sale today. All tools were a buck each. I grabbed a few wrenches and these 12 ratchets. 😀

Picked this up for a couple bucks. 1/4 drive inch pound beam torque wrench. I can not find a maker’s mark on this. Red handle is aluminum, beam is made of steel. The piece with the graduations on it is brass. Can anyone identify this. Thanks

I use these from Snap on. Easy to rearrange as your sets grow.

I forgot to mention, this one is solid gold🤣🤣. Nah, just a weird reflection. Since you asked, this was the other 2 for $1 tool. Was so filthy you really couldn’t tell if it was a knockoff or not.

I found this one in a pile of tools dumped on a tarp at a swap meet priced at 2 for $1.

Good info. Thanks. I will post there as well.

Found this little guy yesterday. The only mark on it is the patent date. I have never seen one with this type of adjusting mechanism. Thanks

Small score today. Mirror is Blue Point. Small Craftsman clutch driver is marked VANADIUM. $3 for all.

Have the vise grips been ground to a needle nose? I’ve never seen a pair like that.

Yes, Get-a-Grip in Washington, NJ. I go to this place often. Dan, the owner, has a real passion for all of this stuff. Every time I go in there I find something new to look at. Hopefully you made it out of the front room, the back rooms are full of antiques as well as more tool related stuff...

Four pairs of pre release lever Vise Grips. Noticing the differences in these. The pair at the top is not marked anywhere but on the handle. Is there anyway to date these? Thanks.

Two small bicycle wrenches that I have. I can not find any markings on either one of these.

Someone needs to go get this. Second photo in the ad shows what looks like an Allen Universal Wrench (ratchet). I know there is one posted on GJ but I couldn’t find it. I have one, I don’t know why I never posted. Located in Long Island, NY. Two hours each way plus $23 in tolls or I would go...

Found this at an estate sale a while ago. Although it has been used, it is in remarkable condition with it’s original box.

I picked up this strange alligator with a movable jaw over the weekend. I t really looks like a miniature timber jack. The only mark I can find on it looks vaguely like VIM. Does anyone know what this was for or who possibly made it? Thanks.
