There's a bare spindle that makes me think there was a pulley of some sort and the arm is a tensioning weight. My gut says belt sander.

I've never been an auto tech but I would have to say innovation and availability. While others may have narrowed the gap in innovation, Snap-On has always seemed to be on the leading edge of tool innovation as mechanical technologies and assemblies have advanced and evolved. And, of course...

I have Tekton and they serve me well. I picked up a set of Titan dirt cheap one time and they were very stiff and clunky mechanism. They have got better with ATF soaks and usage but they realy aren't what I would consider good. Adequate at best but they were on discount and I had Amazon credits...

I bought a set of Quinn (I think) at HF with the thought that I had them if needed and would upgrade if they got used much. They don't get used at all. They're still there if needed, though.

Tool Haus tool of the week. Not a bad deal if you need them. https://hausoftools.myshopify.com/products/gedore-6730210-combination-pliers-180-mm?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email&_kx=0QtDaqBSWznBHzegTGjkMD7Nn-LbKbLbxmkcz0fEBRw.UfCVye

I have mostly older Proto but bought two of the newer Channellock adjustables. They're pretty much slop-free. Well made, in my opinion. If I was looking for new, reasonably priced adjustable wrenches I would probably buy them. I actually use them on occassion and very rarely used the Proto's...

Those impact sockets look a lot like the ones Tekton used to sell. I've used the hell out of mine.

I ordered the tool cleaner/ hand cleaner combo as well as some of the sanding discs on separate orders. Both orders were delivered within 3 or 4 days. Pretty fast for free stuff.

No.

I have been helping my brother on a project in his shop and noticed our fathers old anvil by his bench. I haven't seen it in years. I'm sure Dad got it at a farm auction back in the 60's.

Blackhawk sold them at one time also. I think Powerbuilt still does in limited configurations.

Those are nicely marked.

These were on sale really cheap a couple years ago. I bought a set because of the price but they've never been used so I can't attest to the quality.

Those Proto 90 tooth ratchets are excellent. Very pricy but excellent.
