So, I told myself a little while ago that I was going to take a break from vises for a bit...
but I couldn't pass up on this Parker 974 for $20! She's got some surface rust and a few battle wounds but it will clean up real nice...and the swivel wrench is still there! :bounce:
I guess I have a...
"Is the double flex wrench to the left of the red handled socket rail a depressed handle snappy or thorsen?"
I'm not sure...all I could see on it were a bunch of Pat. numbers and such. It's got a nice quality feel to it.
"Nice haul for 60. What was left in the box?"
The typical filler stuff...
I'll have to check when I get back home, but I believe that's a small 3/8 drive rat. I know it needs new guts...not sure yet if Sears has the kit. That will probably be one of the rats up for sale soon.
Wow, that's good to know. I have a few older ones that need repair...finding a new "V" selector would be sweet!
Last time I went to Sears for a rebuild kit on an older ratchet, they told they didn't have any rebuild kits for older rats. They just wanted to replace with new or refurbished...
It was a good day to go check out a "moving" sale. They were originally trying to sell a Craftsman top tool chest full of tools for $350. They agreed to let me pull out only what I was interested in... $60 All USA Made :thumbup:
Update!
All that is left is:
1/4" TM70B ratchet (new guts just installed)= $30 shipped
2 combo wrenches OEX12, OEX24 (owners marks)= $15 shipped
I'd ship both for $40...
or trade for Williams M-52 or Williams S-53
