Picked up a Durobilt #411 valve lapping tool along with a seat cutter and valve face cutting tool. I was drawn to it because it had the complete Duro writing and logo on it. The guy I bought it from said it was his grandpa's valve job kit. I tried to just clean it up but the paint just fell off...

Very nicce

Got lucky and scored the the five missing sockets for my #1536 Indestro set. I only have the sockets but they fit nicely in the tray of my E.J McALEER tool box. These are a double hex set and compliment my complete 6 point set.

I have been searching for a Mossberg 21/32 square and 15/32, and 1-3/32 hex. While I am posting, also some Walden Worcester pressed steel sockets. Hex 17/32, 19/32, 5/8, and 25/32. Also have some duplicates of other sizes if someone needs some singles. By the way, great save.

Received it today, love it, especially the "stinky" socket driver. The case is super nice. Thanks.

Thanks!

Recently got a Stevens Walden 1/4" drive set. Have not been able to identify a part number or approximate date. Originally thought I may refinish the box but luckily it grew on me.

WoW, nice collection of sets. The hex plug makes sense. Amy idea on the approximate years of manufacture of your sets?

So I got emotional and carried away (again). Just bought a Stevens-Walden 1/4"-3/8" combination set =AZWkUr7vW2IY8mY6MFoa6gtlOABign1j596prty1eKeS6-7omMF9DjOvoqBXO0vVBYVl6hAvslyGCVxNSqFk1kNSfGGpAqrWRyPEyOCwlNVQfw9ZqhiY-EYkfJIXnnr53ASwgKGxlm3bEC1ToxuvOEhl&__tn__=*NK-R']#PM21. It is 100% complete...

Finally got the 1/4-5/16 to complete this short box set. It is just so impressive how well the early select steel wrenches clean and polish up. I think I am addicted to the early tools.

My newest acquisition. Finally got the last wrench to complete the six piece "Chicago" set. They cleaned and polished up nicely. I think I am obsessed with the old Duro-Indestro.

Still trying to figure out how to post correctly. Just finished the "refurbish" of my Durobilt RX 310 set. Welded cracks in the box, straightened out the lid (as best I could) glass beaded both and painted them with VHT red disk brake caliper paint. That was the closest color. The Nickel...

Those look like new, very nice!
