Almost walked right by another band saw i needed about as bad as I need another table saw at a local estate sale! Until I noticed what it was bolted too, and decided $50 is too good to turn down. Handed over the cash laid it down in the truck to go home, and double bonus, ball casters ive never...

Were you able to rescue it from whatever was planned for it?

Not positive, but think theyre for crimping non Insulated type connectors that dont have the plastic covering.

I would have to go measure for sure, but I think these could be used to adapt some of the hex drive serp belt arms to sockets. I know I've seen at least 2 different hex sizes in that tool. And so I dont sidetrack the thread on an apex tool...here's a few vintage MAC's i have on the bemch

Wow! It really was spring of last year! Checking now, looks like i could make some good money if I wanted to. Safely tucked into my red/gray roller with the craftsman collection in the basement tho. Think mine went a bit cheaper since it had the flex head selector installed in the pics. I...

Not the most common out there, but not super rare. Ive only come across one in the wild at an auction last year, but it only took 1 other person to want it like me to take it more than ebay price. Surprised everyone else at the auction that it went for $110 tho. That was kinda funny. That was...

Lang patent was surprisingly early. Langs company A&E, 1950's i think, so all production dates would jive. My guess was the date codes were put into all of em just in case snappy wanted em, and brand name was last thing put on each one as they shipped to different vendors? Just thought it was...

Recent mystery box buy. Have I never noticed this before, or are they not all like this? 2 Mac DBE ratcheting wrenches and one craftsman. Lang patents, made for a bunch of vendors. But all 3 of these have the distinctive snap on date code markings on them. What do you guys have? I have more...

I believe Ronan was the maker of those for craftsman too. They are still being made and have replacement parts available.

Perfect proof that im a sucker for more project than I know what to do with!! Lol. Very rough boxes, but still solid users

Maybe Im a sucker for buying more projects ill never get to, but id be handing over $45 for that any day! Top looks like at least a good user box as is! Badges, locks, tray, lots of good drawer parts at a minimum.

FYI...if anyone is wanting some, recent stop at Harry Epstein got me a NOS bonney badged 11/16 cam lock wrench with original box. They had a lot of em. Also had 3/8 and 7/16. Ill upload a pic when I get home

Fun stop! I went in ill prepared for sure! Basement was the eye opener! Never seen so many overstock 3/4 and 1 inch socket a d drive tools in my life. If I get a chance to stop back, ill definitely have a list of what im missing from specific sets to look for. Abundance of bonney, plomb...

Think thats for knocking the stripped head off a bolt when the correctly finished wrench didnt work? Looks like a factory defect in final steps

Special oversize quick release impact socket uses those. I have one from Apex and have seen them from snap on. QR314 from apex. Think they have them in different size drives, which would justify having a 3/8 and 1/2 drive bits to insert.
