    Making Numbers on Tools stand out! (a how-to thread)

    Helps for quick identification for sure. I noticed it seems a lot of the new tool wrench sets started marking blue and red, for metric and std. Guess the trend has caught on.

    Kobalt wrenches

    Williams made these wrenches (owned by snap on at the time) they also made snap on wrenches with the same style thickness font etc.. as far as I know. Just trying to figure out what the equivalent snap on part numbers are? (really only care about metric)

    Kobalt USA?

    That's some inside stuff! The only way it gets better is to find someone that worked at the tool making factories at that time to explain exactly what was going on. But doubtful to find them in a tool forum. I guess the real question is what makes them less? Hard for me to tell, as everything...

    Kobalt USA?

    The rare 10mm, 3/8" is intact. But looks like a few of the 1/4" mm have some fill in's.

    Kobalt USA?

    Thanks for the clarification, all the numbers start with 0, and does look like a nicer set. Originally a 39 piece shallow socket 6pt set with a few 1/4" ASE deeps. A few of the ASE's are missing along with the extension. But ratchet is intact, set is incased in a plastic blow mold. The only...

    Kobalt USA?

    How do you know if it's: Williams USA Kobalt? or Danaher USA Kobalt? I found an old set in my garage but the markings are small and un clear?

    The Pressteel company tool box thread

    With my first Pressteel, I've joined your ranks! I really like this little 4 drawer bottom. But I'm afraid maybe I didn't score the best example that I originally thought I did. Looks like the original color was a hammer blue. I removed the padlock but as you can see now left with original color...

    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    Okay so After like 30 mins of cleaning the 4 drawer Pressteel. Maybe it was a fair deal for both of us. This is my first Pressteel so I was maybe overly excited and overlooked a few of the faults. Top drawer had something heavy sitting in it and push down the bottom and drew the front in a bit...

    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    Yes it is a 4 drawer Pressteel. I bought it tonight. Overall solid, original color was blue (can be seen under the red). Rust seems to be superficial. Drawers are smooth and shut correctly. I'll take some pictures and post when I have time to clean it up some.
