I'm close on combos. 5/16 to 1 7/16. No 32scnds. Missing a few DBE's. I haven't researched what I don't have lately. I have quite a few DOE's. Also wound up with gob of smooth combos. Developed a "thing" for amber screwdrivers. I have 22. Guy has 8 on fleabay for $345 so I'm rich and didn't...

Moved to larger shop and gained some pegboard space. Hung up some of my pebbles for display. More fun than hid away in box.

Not 100% sure, but I think so. I have quite a few of the Proto's that came out right after the name change and these are definetly newer. The stubby has store price tag of $1.05! I'd take a wild guess at mid-late 60's.

Really only see 1 screwdriver in this thread. These are NOS. Tried to show the price tags still on 3 of them. Crappy cell phone pics. F-ing tweakers broke in my truck and took my camera.

Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff! Thanks, I happen to have an old POS bench grinder and a cotton wheel. I'll give it a try.

Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff! NO...it wasn't wrong. Looks great!! And I've got about 40 more of those you could buff. Really though, what kind of wheel and compound did you use. I have a full set of those in combo and DBE I'd like to do that to.

Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff! Yep, somebody showed up and brought their money. $104.77 as of now.

Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff! Yes, very rare and matched up well. This stuff is like anything old, it's worth what someone will pay. Looked like a 3 way ******* match. That's why they call it an "auction"

Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff! @$225.00 now,GEEZ.

Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff! And now 95.00 even, geez. Those ignition wrenches look like a very complete set. Don't see those screwdriver bits in 1/4" very often either. Haven't decided how much I'm willing to go yet.

Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff! Thanks for the heads up. I know about Plomb and would love to have that set. I don't have the ignition wrenches and the old sockets and ratchet look real good. Its @ 83.29 as of now. It aint gonna be cheap. Neal.

Been lusting after this for years. Finally got him to let it go. Has mark I didn"t get pic of, looks like tag in mold with rivets holding it. Has "44". Wonder if that's the build date? The mandrels make the deal really cool.

$80 @ hole forged?? You would think they'd be floating pins. I have changed rod bolts without resizing and got away with it. Just need to measure the hole carefully. I have done them with the pistons on the rod, real PITA. Fair chance of banging piston around while doin it.

Geeez, must be making something high dollar or has more money than he knows what to do with. My partner & I are putting this on a 16' tandem axle utility trailer. Built overhead material racks, everything on reels, tool boxes, etc. This one machine will get us more work than we want. Neal.

Yep. they take a lickin. I started with BNSF 10 yrs, ago. These were pretty well gone by then. I'll look into some sort of seperater in the air line.
