    2023 Garage Sale Thread

    Picked up this Matco MB-1440 last weekend to replace a Waterloo WI-5013R. Drive was 3.5 hours away. Convinced a good friend to get up at 4AM on a Saturday to make the trip with me. We headed out around 5 AM and made it back by 3 PM that same afternoon.

    Years ago. Roughly 1992 or 93. I was working at a 76 service station. A car came in with a heater hose spliced together with a deep 5/8 MAC tools Socket.

    Vintage S-K Tools

    It looks like a circle spring clip holding the ratchet head in place. A couple of small straight picks should take it apart. Be careful as too much spread will make the clip lose its tension.
