Does anyone know if Pro-America (KAL Professional Tools) manufactures/ever manufactured Snap-on branded pliers? Unfortunately, their website has been down for some time now, but certain design features seemsimilar. Anybody know if they are still around, or did they close shop?

I don't know if this has already been discussed here, but I just found out that back in March 09', Pratt Read filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. A company that has been making screwdriver from around 1830 could close its doors shut.....or move manufacturing to China or Taiwan...

I just recently scored a Par-X tool chest that I found for sale on a Craigslist listing in Seattle, WA. I had been on a look-out for a cool, old tool chest, but didn't come across one in my local listing in Vancouver, BC (Canada). Here's a little story behind my purchase. When I first saw...

What's your opinion? Subjective comments are welcome, but objective comments are appreciated. :D I've always sneered at these things ever since they came out on the shelves of Home Depot and Canadian Tire, but I'm interested in hearing others' thoughts. <object width="660" height="525"><param...

Shown below is a FDP SOEXM120A and a OEXM120B wrench. Nothing unusual there...but look at this picture. The OEXM120B is on the left. It's so THICK Was this wrench fed with steroids? ;)

All 9 House of Tools locations are closing doors. The stores are under receivership and everything is on sale. I just got the email about 15mins ago. I quickly jumped over their website, but it's unfortunately down. I so wish I could be there now. :( EDIT: I thought the BC stores were...

Check this Snap-on hybrid setup that a guy in Japan created: Oh, how about a crazy collection of adjustable wrenches on a ceiling to gaze onto. :bounce:

I saw this add on my local Craigslist and offered him a price. Got a reply back from him saying it's already sold. Guess how much it apparently got sold for. Here are the pics from Craigslist:

I've been hounding my local tool store that has a clearance section in the far back. I've rummaged through piles of used/NOS sockets and wrenches in hopes to find some made in USA stuff. After a couple hours or so, I came up with this selection of NOS Blackhawk sockets. They all say USA on...

I recently walked into a local antiques store and found some really unique tools. One such tool was this parallel-jaw plier with a built-in diagonal cutter in an arrangement that I've never seen in modern tools. It had a price tag of $13 and I was being cheap, not wanting to pay any more than...

After purchasing this locally for just $20 CAN, it was destined to get a good soak in the bath, to have it all cleaned up fresh. Before I purchased it, I had to ask the GJ community as to what the box's vintage might be--that thread is...

:bounce: For some amusement..... You'd probably never put a tool in your mouth to see how it might taste, but how about if it were made from chocolate? For starters, how about some nuts and bolts, and a lightbulb and socket? As for the main course...

I bought these three sockets recently and had a question. Does anyone know what brand the middle socket is? It simple says W.D Chrome Vanadium 10mm The second picture is the back side of the socket. I don't think this is a socket from this century as the man I bought it from was selling off...

I recently purchased these Ko-ken pieces from Japan. I've struggled with radiator hose and other misc. hose removals in the past and so I thought I would see if these guys would ease the job and save me time. These were bought for about $13US: The handle, as you can imagine, provides a...
