I will post some pics when I get it cleaned up, the previous owner somehow let an abundance of red overspray hit the majority of the sockets. This is the set Grainger has for $1500 and all seems to match EXCEPT the ratchet and the ratchet is a V Craftsman one. I started cleaning ( by hand) from...

I need a high quality Proto ratchet to match my set What is the best Proto 3/4" drive ratchet and can you tell the age it came out? Is there particular years which are better?

These came in my mailbox this morning from Ebay, just too nice to use :)

Find a pawn shop and buy a used Hilti, I worked in construction 25 years and the Hilti hammer drills were all we used drilling thousands of holes in concrete most of the time for 3/4 hilti bolts. They are good hole after hole. I have one I bought in a pawn shop for about $50, great investment in...

I agree, but I havent been able to see any pricing for a similar box on eBay or any other on line spot. In the images there is one model 503 Huot, but it is all beaten up and doesnt show any further information. Is this Huot rare or am I looking the wrong place?

I probably will end up selling the Huot, any idea of its worth?

I have been wanting a larger tool box to keep in my truck and ended up buying 2 which I thought were nice at an Ohio Flea Market, a Huot and a Snap-on. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

I have sold a few chains on eBay, but prepared to take a beating, I have sold a $500 ( price replacement) chain a couple times for about $50-$60. Also two good quality hooks will cost more than the chain with hooks will bring on eBay! Some things sell well, some don't, chains don't on eBay. I...

I must confess in the last month or so I have bought 8 Snap-on ratchets of varying sizes and types. Do I have a problem?

I spent a little time looking over those auctions, looks like I need to do some research and figure out the numbers etc, and make a few adds and see what happens. Thanks for your advice, I had zero knowledge of lathe parts

Thank you very much Bob, that gives me something to go on. If I grouped it all together do you think would it be worth $125 or so to anyone on this forum? Thanks again for your information, Mike

I picked this stuff up recently at an estate sale, I believe the guy must have passed away, I know nothing of Lathe parts. This stuff looked old and well made so I bought this box which said "Lathe parts", now I don't know what to do with it. I don't know enough about them to list them on eBay...

Thank you for looking Sir, I am a member on several different types of forums and so far I am EXTREMELY impressed with the friendliness and promptness of the members here!!! ( I think I have found a "home" )

Here are a couple of pics

I am missing the 69995 8 1/2" extension, 60032 1" socket and 60040 1 1/4" socket. I bought a 69998 3/4 Breaker bar this morning on eBay as it is the same vintage and like made handle as my ratchet.
