Snap on 1/4 breaker bar TM 10F Made in Canada Not sure of the year as I can't find a date code.

lbgradwell, What would be your cut off point year wise for vintage Mastercraft?

Here is a pic of the Gray Canada screwdrivers I picked up on the weekend. I also included a pic of the other 3 I bought. A made in Canada Stanley as well as a Proto and S-K. $1.75 for all 7. My first time uploading pics so hope it worked.

lilredex, The older guy I bought the saw from bought it used around 1969. It's the 2200 model. I've been lurking at owwm.com for awhile now. Great site, lots of info. I plan on joining. Found a great pdf manual for my saw there. If we can go back further then the 60's I could use my...

Picked up some Gray Canada screwdrivers at a yard sale this weekend. 4 for a buck. Not sure of the vintage. Same yard sale I bought an old Beaver table saw for $20. Heavy cast iron brute. Mfg in Guelph Ont back in the 50's prior to being taken over by Rockwell. I grew up in Barrie Ont...

So if my wife asks what I'm doing online do I say "listening to guys talk about measuring their tools"? She may want pics

On a side note I picked up a nice Ratchet for the set I'm building for the daughters b-friend. On the way home I stopped at a pawn shop. There was a complete 80 pc Craftsman MD socket set in the box. I got it for $19. It doesn't show up on Sears website and it has ST series. Wonder if...

I made it to Sears today. I found the following ST series tools. Raised panel wrenches, Professional series wrenches, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 drive sockets in metric and imperial and extensions. Scattered in amongst the sockets were various E,EE and G series. The ratchets were not ST series. They...

Thanks, lbgradwell. Most likely get in to Sears today. Picking up a ratchet for a tool set I'm putting together for daughters boyfriend. The conversation yesterday got me thinking. Last summer I had a gift card for Sears and some of it went on a set of metric box ends that were on sale. I...

Thanks for the welcome Lauver. So if I understand correctly, you want me to go to a store and spend time checking out tools? I'm on board with that :) I will see what I can find out. Do you want a list of what has the ST designation? In general terms of course.

The ST series is pretty much all you can find at Sears Canada around here now. Except for the odd ball nos e/ee/v stock.

Our local auto parts supplier carries the G2 catalog. Lots of good stuff in there like Knipex and Bonhus Another place I look is at the borg stores. If you check the back of the racks you can usually find some goodies. Example would be getting a Bahco hacksaw made in Sweden rather then the...

I make the rounds of about 5 sears stores. Never buy much but the occasional nos EE or V series piece. Usually the clerk will look at the tag and say where did you find this? I remember going into sears with my dad back in the early 70's to buy tools. The guys working there then seemed to...
