This find goes squarely in the category of “I didn’t know they made this” and I thought I had a pretty good beat on the Craftsman tool and storage lineup over the past couple decades… Apparently Montezuma made a 26” Craftsman branded box for catalog/online only. I was under the impression they...

Good marketplace haul this morning. Really large set of brand new unused Wright wrenches for $75. Met/SAE wrightgrip combos/open ends sets/flare nuts, offset boxed SAE, couple jumbo singles, some new pliers etc.

Just a follow-up for the “why Tekton” crowd…we are an engineering services company. We don’t mass produce but rather prototype/assemble limited runs. Also tools often go missing/lost etc so a lower cost industrial brand like Wright as opposed to Snap-On made sense at the time. Nothing should be...

Proto GMTK with case, about 75% complete was this morning’s $100 marketplace score. Main missing pieces are some pliers and the SAE wrenches. Just getting a good pelican case for that seemed like a really good deal however.

Just wanted to confirm what the other threads have posted, and put this thread out there for people using Google/AI to research the Wright Tool Warranty (or lack there of) prior to purchasing. They no longer offer any form of warranty on their tools. Not lifetime. Not life for the original...

Nice clean used KRA End Cab in black. Not beat up from heavy shop use, this lived on top of a tool bench all its life and just stored paperwork etc. Includes 3 internal shelves and the original Snap On Key. $450 cash if you pick it up locally, $500 if I have to pack it to ship to you. Retail new...

Thank you so much!!!! I really appreciate you taking the time to get those measurements for me!

I recently acquired an old Hub Tamer Elite. Unfortunately it’s missing the little disk that sits on the hub to allow you to push against to remove the outer bearing race stuck to the hub. See pic. Does anyone that owns one of these kits happen to be able to grab the thickness and diameter of the...

Snagged this International stack in a really cool matte green for $50. All nice ball bearing draws and in super good condition. The guy claims he has had it for a long time. But it looks exactly like the new Husky Home Depot boxes, even same color so I’m assuming same company? I thought...

I came across this posting today, $20 for a bunch of old tools and they come in a box, I’m in! I’m hoping someone else knows more than me about this stuff. After separating out all the junk tools, etc what I was left with was a bunch of 3/4”, 1/2”, and 3/8” drive Bonney tools as well as some...

I recently got a big lot of tools from an industrial liquidation auction. The downside is all these tools were etched. If that’s a deal breaker, these aren’t for you. The upside is some are excess to my needs, and I’m selling them cheap! $10/wrench must buy all 5. Proto 3132 1” Proto 3128...

To answer the question on the military tool disposition, my wife’s family has a few folks who served recently and I asked them this very question years ago when I started buying this stuff. Is it legal to own, did they steal it, etc they laughed. Apparently it’s incredibly common when a company...

This was my find of the month. I live in a big military town so sometimes I get cool tool scores when service people move. This was marketplace posted as what initially seems like a sorta overpriced $65 junk tool lot inside a destroyed metal tool box. But I saw an Armstrong maxx ratchet handle...

Thanks everyone for the wealth of knowledge. There was definitely some cool stuff in the tool boxes but these were all I couldn’t ID. Living in a big military/aerospace town sometimes stuff like this shows up.

Seem to be some kind of countersink or general drilling tool, with a stop built in. I ended up with a bunch of them I found in a tool box I purchased, I think they are for aerospace work, but I’m hoping someone knows more than me. The drill bits have these weird circular inserts that sit in them...
