Ahh yes that makes sense. I looked into 1960s catalog and I'm guessing it's a F-670A (or similar).

I know nothing other than what's in the picture. It's in an upcoming auction.

I want to say yes, but haven't seen one with a screw in the head or with "F-6" in the part number.

Found these oddities in a box of old tools. Never heard of them before and no mention on this forum. The internet suggests they build RV toilets since the 1960s. Hard to believe this shape of screwdriver would ever be needed.

I got this 1979 E-6 for $30 at a small local auction. It came with a pedestal, the original owner's guide, and 2 Wissota brand grinding wheels that I guess are probably the original ones it came with, plus some buffing and wire wheels. The previous owner had removed 1 guard. I arrived first...

Sale price went from $80 in 2019, to $110 late last year, to $180 now. :sick:

My great-grandfather's nail puller

I mean google must not index frankmurch.com. There was no other hit for CPT101 online, though now that I started this thread it will probably show a hit to this thread since garagejournal.com is indexed. :-) No results...

Thank you! Sadly I guess google doesn't search this website.

Snap-On 1/4 CPT-101, Canada, no date code Any idea about this? Could not find it when searching online. Looks very similar to PP-409 but slightly longer and only 1/4" wide opening.

Usually individual unless it's a complete "set" sort of thing. Or I may make a lot if I think it will help sell something otherwise hard to sell.

Third pic. BTW, these are all the sockets I own, other than a few portable sets in cases & stuff that's listed for sale. I don't know about the rest of you, but I only buy vintage tools and they are to use. Most Snap-on gets sold (too expensive to justify keeping it), and most stuff made in...

Here's what I got so far. Mostly comes from 3 estate sale buys totaling ~$1000, from which I sold ~$3000 in tools, so I view them as almost free (just paid for with time). My organization is not great, and is something I want to improve this summer. When I buy at estate sales it's usually a...

Prices on the low end are going up while prices on the high end are coming down. This is due to more and more people getting squeezed for cash which forces them to shop at thrift stores instead of on eBay, for example. And once people start thrifting, many of them will arbitrage anything...

I would look for used sets. If they are missing some pieces then you'll have holes to fill. At the moment you just have odds and ends, many of which look like rusty junk.
