I scored two older snap-on pieces (for less than a gas station coffee) last weekend. One is a Ford door handle remover and the other is a slotted screwdriver with a 21.5" blade. Anyone care to guess which is which based on just the pics?

I just discovered a Bonner DOE in a lot I picked up last weekend! First one of these I've came across.

Great post and information. I got this cleaned up today and came across this post right away when I did a search looking for information. Different markings then the other tap but it's gotta be the same company, right?

ok, thanks! I now see there just might be one or twenty seven examples on that thread. I should have guessed there would a separate thread due to it being not strictly a screwdriver.

Having just spent a generous chunk of time looking through 19 pages of screwdrivers, I believe I've got a couple unique examples to contribute. I haven't had the chance to do any research into them yet, but I'm thinking the multi-bit one is pretty old. I really like the little tool for securing...

I picked up a couple mixed lots of tools from an auction yesterday and found this gem while sorting them. Herbrand No.822 door pin pusher! Heavy *******, right about 4.5 lbs. Thought y'all would appreciate it.

That's a step forward guys, thank you.

This was in an auction lot I picked up yesterday and I'm trying to figure out exactly what it is and who made it. Image searches bring back mostly xcelite nut drivers and the part no. all nonsense. The shape of the business end makes me think carburetor adjustment, somewhat odd phrasing of "part...

GJ comes through once again! This was the only place I found any info on this socket. 11 years since the thread started and there's still nothing online about JJCO, aside from Garage Journal of course. I really can't express how much I appreciate this site

Yours is definitely the last one of the 4, based off the half oval cut-out right behind the manufacturer stamp.

Came across one of the "special" Armstrong wrenches recently. Really good condition too. Also a Bonney that very similar, not quite as thin as the Armstrong, but almost.

I've got a No. 1 that matches that!

Indestro store display. Not mine but I thought it was pretty cool. It's an auction lot ending tomorrow. Wish I had the space for it.

They are great looking rulers aren't they.

Picked up this earlier today. American Scale Co. No.64, very good shape. Which I was relieved about because I bought it through an online auction based of 3 pics taken in bad light with a dirty camera lens. It's heavy, 76 lb, 4.5" jaw. The swivel base has a surprisingly smooth rotation.
