Hey. I read the Rigid dating info. Super helpful! Thanks! I picked up a nice example that falls into the 1937 to 1948 range and the code on the jaw ends with a "7". Is there any way to tell if it would be a 1937 or a 1947 wrench? Just curios if I am missing something. :)

Wow! That is the biggest Bevel gage I have ever seen! I am gonna have to keep an eye out for one of them! I found this thread while researching what appears to be a rare, old Stanley bevel gauge.

Well that post was not used the way I thought it would be. :) I posted that video as a convenient way for the Bonney fans to get to Resto Rob's channel where they can view many Bonney tool videos about different Bonney tools. Until I saw the Bonney vise video, I had no idea Bonney made...

A coworker brought me a vintage hammer drill today to put on my YouTube channel as a quest tool. It is marketed as the lightest tool of its kind, but weighs in at 17.5 lbs! There is a flyer as from a 3-ring binder with it that includes info about the drills and such. There is an address in...

Hey Bonney tool fans! The YouTube channel for Resto Rob has a lot of videos about Bonney Tools because he collects them. Check out his channel. Here is a link to a video about a Bonney Vise!
