Lets make an all vintage Snap-on tool picture thread!

[Steven 33]

For some reason , it wouldn't let me type anything. This is the same model number slightly different though. Sorry, pictures a little blurry.I don't own it

Funny story on the L-72 rat....new tech at work was trying to remove a gland nut from very high torque cylinder nut. Using new extra long 3/4 drive HF breaker bar and thing looked like a "C" bowing and bending! I handed over my old L-72 matching yours and said try this. Had to stand on it, but no bowing, bending or otherwise, and.....pop! Off came the gland. Testament to having the right tool i think.

A sort of odd wrench. Snap/on model A-59484. about 5" long, 9/16 opening. Its hard to date, has no code, does not have Made in USA. Does have a / in the name. So the USA stamp starts in about 37. but there are not to many specials with the Snap on name, until the 40s, usually are Blue Point. The / goes away mostly in the late 40s. Its probably military, but not sure.

They made something similar after, but they made it thinner.

Sale find i couldn't leave behind....but no idea what it is! Looks like possibly to do with bearings or Machinist work? One end threads on and tapers outside. Both ends taper where something would sandwich together. Older logo and can make our S-902, then the last digit i cant tell. Any ideas?

I believe that's for setting concentricty and clocking of a Chevy Turboencabulator.

I have the same set, also the open end ones to match, but no pouches for them.

 

[oscarsnapkin]

What series are they? They look like an older version of the XO wrenches (standard handle 60º offset double-box end). I have the XO set from 1/4”-5/16” up to 15/16”-1”. The largest I’ve seen in a catalog is the 15/16-1, and I’m curious if they used to make them larger, or if yours are a different line.

Part of flea pick up yesterday. The 39 HD-1 has finish loss on the 5/8” male end but holds a 5/8 “ drive socket tight so hasn’t been ground down. Around noon dude started liquidating his storage unit pile. The Snap On bearing puller was $1.00 like everything else he had.

The best part of that score might be the little wrench on the bottom. 723?

Hey Smoke, that wasn't the only Barc and it is a correct JEEP toolkit wrench but that one's a 28-S. I think that 3/4" drive stud puller is so big it makes the wrench look smaller than it is.

 

[Smokeshow69]

Ahh, dang ok. Yeah the perspective was killing me

 

[firstyearchevelle]

Picked up the orange handled drivers over the weekend. I had never seen these older screwdrivers in orange before. Was wondering what years the orange as well as the black ones were produced. Couldn’t find much information on them. Thanks

I bought a set of the black handle ones around 1960

Found this Ferret socket from 1959. It’s a duplicate so will head to the summer home user box next week.

Very cool story. I was just listening to a podcast yesterday that was talking about all the ww2 gliders in crates being scrapped post
War for the value of the wood crates that folks used to build things around their houses/farms. As to your truck shop shed are you referring to Camp Adair?

Sorry for the delay in responding, as I was away from the Internet for a couple of weeks on a trip.

Yes, the shed frame came from Camp Adair. Some of the officer's quarters small houses also were moved to my home town when Camp Adair was closed.

It looks a little like the injector pump wrench for my Olds 350 diesel

When I get home (I’m on 10’s), I can google the serial number and see if that comes up.

Had to pull an early bird on the garage sale I spotted this on in a Craigslist ad. Couldn't believe nobody else got it before me!! I woulda been happy for just the old case for $3, but... full! Then the terminal puller for another $1. Ok!! E and G dates. 1944 and 1945

Nice find at a bargain price. i believe the red exterior is a repaint as the interior color is what I would have expected to see on the exterior The rusty areas were likely caused by a disintegrated spinner handle and will probably clean up with evaporust. That is what happened to my 9/32” drive set before I got it.
Here is my 1/4” drive set.
Red boxes were red on the interior as well.

My “new” 1977 TM711

Think I’ve finally found a decent match to the blue point body hammer’s red paint.





I’ve tried countless varieties of red spray paint, and think that Krylon has produced about a dozen different shades of Cherry red paint. But the one under this label seems to be the closest I’ve found, previous versions seemed to be brighter.

Even as I was forking over a whole dollar for this R2226 (11/16" x 13/16") obstruction wrench at the flea this morning I was thinking, "I should probably save myself the future frustration and just leave this behind." My track record with obstruction wrenches is not very good. Although that's probably too harsh. They're not exactly growing on trees in the wild. Better said my experience with them is one of incompleteness. I have a decent partial set of Williams going (from 13/32" to 7/8" in 8 wrenches), a few Bonney, and an odd duck or two (Herbrand, unbranded 41-W, etc). One shred of good news is that it's an early "PAT. APL'D FOR" > Blue-Points < from the late 20's, when they only had four (4) of them in a set.

 

[genog]

A couple of vintage Snap On 3/8" ratchets that I bought from a CL Flipper
I'll clean them up .....and put them into box with other vintage Snap On stuff

 

[Mintgrun]

I posted this one of those four in the Blue Points thread.



It kind of looks like a rodent nibbled on this one.

[Private Lugnutz]

^ Nice. Between us we're halfway there. (I suspect Mechanic #2's property marks on those nibbles.)

[Private Lugnutz]

^ Great. All we need is someone to show up with the R2428 so we can hop on a Zoom call, do a round of 'Rock, Paper, Scissors', and see who is going to the post office and who is waiting for three boxes to arrive.

 

[snapmom]

ok

 

[Mintgrun]

Wow, powch and all!

(I suspect Mechanic #2's property marks on those nibbles.)

Or, possibly Mechanic #12's.

(Lugz, I could have sworn you posted one of these a while back, which had the maker's marks ground off. I remember being tempted to post mine, hoping to identify yours).

 

[Private Lugnutz]

Wow, powch and all!

I fully expected that. We onesy-twosy scroungers are mere mortals in comparison.

Lugz, I could have sworn you posted one of these a while back, which had the maker's marks ground off. I remember being tempted to post mine, hoping to identify yours).

I really wish you hadn't mentioned that. Now I'm going to have to go look for it.

 

[Private Lugnutz]

^ Well, I found the post (in the Williams thread) you are referring to @Mintgrun! (Thanks for the reminder.)

I do have this other oddball.

Identified by 3bay...

^Blue-Points Chicago oldie there Lugz

But the wrench is not in my Snap-on or Blue-Points boxes, or with the Williams partial set. Which means it was lying about somewhere and got scooped up into one of these piles or miscellaneous stuff boxes.

 

[Mintgrun]

Around here, it'd either be in the Snap-on box, the DOE box, or the User box. Lately, more tools are being grouped by brand name, rather than tool type. So, all I have to do is to remember what's in which box and where I put that box.

I remember feeling relieved of the obligation to post my wrench when 3bay IDed yours, but then couldn't remember where you'd posted it. Memory games are so much fun.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Got a couple random ones
