Seen a 3/4 Ratchet IH (Wright 6400) and a mix of what seemed a complete set of various brands some of which were Mac and others all in a case. However the guy at the flea market had a $300 price on the box but he might be able to be talked down. I personally have an incomplete set of 7, 3/8...

Second in Line to purchase if Caper passes.

All I found is a 1/4 socket driver handle in "fair-good" condition. It's orange or a dark yellow w/ a red cap. I've seen some Challenger ones and some Penens but I cannot remember if I saw any Fleet screwdrivers at the "Alpine Flea Market" in Rockford IL. Sorry... I'll have to remember to look...

I found a dbl box offset wrench as well last weekend. Its a 3/4 by 25/32 12pt has same "Tiger Tools" on it and "U.S.A.". I thought it ringed a bell when I found it, and search for this old thread.

I'll Take the....... 3/8 generic but good quality long flex ratchet $4 3/8 very old new brittian pear head $12 3/8 husky indexing ratchet $9 3/8 velcheck breaker $3 PM Sent

I totally agree. I have it in all three sizes and four brand-variants in a 1/2 in different places. This is often my favorite 1/2 head-design and Will- S-52 being a very close second as long as they work in a given application easily w/ extension and/or flex. It's got to be one of the most...

Re: Bull's (Almost) Everything $3 Tool Sale None it would seem at Peddler in Rockford in their hugh NOS Thorsen bin. Plenty of =USA= 5/8; 13/16; 11/16, small metrics all in a 3/8-12pt version.

Here is ToolTopia.com Link of some other Gearwrench ratchet sets Comfort Grip versions - Amazon Other Amazon ones for price comparison BTW Armstrong Maxx has the same 60-tooth ratchet head and comes in locking flex-heads like Matco's version. Like Toolpants said these non-quick-release...

It's an Indestro/Duro contracted production for Craftsman. It has a one-piece pawl. I have the exact same one I got for $5. It has 24 teeth and feels very nice. I actually have a "rebuild" kit for this in my yellowed Indestro/Duro rebuild kit collection. Of course like many older well made...

I actually put Permatex in a 1/2 4 month ago. It about a half-hour to get it in the tiny oil-hole & work it into the ratchet since this is before I learned about the soaking in ATF (since I didn't want to used 3-in-1) and had to wiggle the drive gear which hardly budged before. I'd have to say...

I second that. Go for an Armstrong or Matco flex and you will be solid. Their a little more expensive, but if you get them new off Ebay that can save you quite a bit. There was new Armstrong 1/2's Maxx for $100 shipped for a while on Ebay. I wish Gearwrench made a locking one. If you get a used...

My preference for cleaning rust on wrenches tends to be several drops of motor oil and those 3-for-$1 "generic" heavy duty scotch-brite pads. Or on something more rusty... copper wool w/oil (thought I read something about avoiding steel-wool, but surely that got to be only if your dealing w/...

My guess from the hole in the handle its a 52-tooth Duro/Indestro RHFT as the head doesn't have that spacer. ["looks on bottom"] My mistake. Forgot about that Wright from when it was first listed. Was too busy admiring the first one..

Yeah, the sockets in this one is possibly SK, "at least considering the case", but other than that couldn't really say, as I have not looked at them. I've seen an individual 3/8 ratchet, that just sold on Ebay, and it it is an "unmistakable" Wright from it's head to tootsie-roll rubber handle...

Very nice 69. Welcome. My father grew up in Chicago and had a 70 SS with the same color scheme -silver w/ black stripes+vinyl. He had bought it from a teenager that had worked in an engine shop and had some performance increase, to the tune of 480hp;lighter-driveshaft,exhaust,cam, etc. The...
