Anybody got one in decent condition?

Neat box for sure. Might be nice to have some full width drawers though.

Congrats! It's always good to save a tool, much less improve one.

Awesome thread. With the detail you've put into the pictures and descriptions, I almost want to rebuild an Alfa trans just because it would be so much easier!

Cool when a company steps it up like that!

Anyone have a good set of these? Small end of the scale is what I need, doesn't need to be a huge set. Thanks

I went to an estate sale today. Found a few tools worth buying, but not worth putting pictures up. A file, Craftsman slip joints and magnetic pick up, that sort of thing. Also two Foley aluminum items, one is a citrus juicer, the other may or may not belong to it. Either it's for juicing into...

Very nice restore!

Did one on my SI years ago. Gun wouldn't touch it. Put 1/2 extensions on until we could reach past the wheel well, broke it free with a cheater on the bar. The extensions flexed so much I was nervous about the stored energy if something slipped. The crack it made when it let go, I thought the...

I'm looking for Vulcan metric wrenches and sockets. Possibly interested in other Vulcan items as well, let me know what you have.
