Got a Quincy 1972 60 gal tank and a 325 compressor that was rebuilt in 2014. The tank is bare but there is an antirust coating on the oil reservoir of the pump. Not sure if Quincy ever coated their tanks since they recommend draining after each use.

I have this set in my go box and its held up very well. If you dont have a sharpening rig, Drill Doctor is relatively cheap and produces decent results. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000LDH1LC/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Maul and a standard wedge, works on everything.

The motor is a 50's vintage. The grinder is , I believe a late 30's one. I have the same motors and that C-man badge on the grinder matches the one on my wood lathe which is from 1938.

I am in love with that galvanized box!!!! I have seen several like that over the years but none that were completely unrusted. 30+ years in barns have that effect. Now that you've given us a taste, you gotta go in depth with the pics!!

Yes they are supposed to be tapered, yup, drive em out the bottom and nope no idea what the taper is supposed to be. I simply put a roll pin against a grinding wheel until I got a good fit since mine weren't original.

LATE BREAKING NEWS!!!!!! In addition to their new global sourcing, SO will soon officially announe their intent to emulate Sears Holdings Inc. All inclusive tool return/exchange policy. "Were doing this as. A result of repeated complaints regarding our existing policy and frankly, with the cost...

Not for sure, but aren't Canadian RP's sourced from PRC? I've had a Canadian Cman socket stamped Tiawan that migrated south for years. Never knew till I read it here that that was where it came from. I believe much of their other stuff is from out that way too.

I put a set in my road box because its almsot a security blanket type thing for me, I have a set in my woodworking shop . All the rest got yard saled last summer because I just never used them

Some screwdrivers may still be made here but not all. At Christmas I was in the columbus oh westside store and all the sets except the largest were made in the PRC. The packaging said that while the screwdrivers were unmarked.
