    The Vintage New Britain and Associated Thread!

    Haven’t been on here since the new site, however i found something today I just couldn’t keep to myself. It’s a 1/2” drive Penncraft set, with the original warranty note. I think it’s missing a spark plug socket, but I could be wrong. Found in the wild at the local flea market.

    DIYer automotive tool brand/quality?

    Yet another vote for Tekton, nice tools for the price. I have used and like their sockets wrenches and even screwdrivers. Ratchets are really a personal preference, and while the Tekton ratchets are probably ok, I prefer SK. You may want to experiment with different brands or just stick with...

    How does your Socket top drawer look ?

    This is my HF cart. Just craftsman socket rails, and I left my GW 1/4 set in the original case with the lid removed.

    What brand is this socket?

    My first though was K-Tool International, but their current logo is not even close, and they have been using the same one for a while.

    Utica tool board

    I use all my vintage pliers, if they wear out or break I will just scrap them. Although I don't think that is very likely, most of them perform better then there modern equivalents, and that includes the Klein's and CL that are still made today.

    Comfort grip vs standard chrome handle ratchets

    Hard handle is my favorite but I have some of each. I like the hard handle because they are easier to clean, but thicker then chrome and easier to grip with gloves.

    Pro quality wrenches

    SK Long Pattern, or Tekton. I have both and really like the SK, the Tekton are nice wrenches for the price though. Also, I would keep the Gearwrench, I can't imagine being without ratcheting wrenches for certain jobs

    Cornwell JR30 vs. JR72

    This thread needs pictures....here are 3 of my Cornwell ratchets shown in my backup ratchet drawer. I may end of eliminating some of these ratchets eventually, but I’m sure the Cornwell will be staying. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spreading the Bonney affliction!

    I think I have a Herbrand of the same vintage that is peeling something fierce. Wonder what I did with it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I believe JCPenny is SK, Penncraft is NB Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
