Pics 1&2 are of Carew #10 Nippers. Looks like they were based in Cincinnati. 3&4) Are of Fulton 14in blacksmith Nippers. Apparently, according to Alloy Artifacts, was the first maker of Craftsman tools. Here is an interesting article...

Not finding much info on this one. There's a listing for a Massey Barn Beam Auger circa 1840's. My Great Grandfather spent some time in MA and CT and may have picked it up. It looks like Massey was active in Birmingham, CT. Looking to see if there's a wood handle for it. More research to be...

I think I read here that vintage drills are pretty common. However, I thought this pre-Speedway Thor U44 1/2in was kind of neat. Not your usual Craftsman. Made by the Independent Pneumatic Co. in Chicago. They had dropped the Independent Pneumatic name in favor of Thor in '53 and in' 54 were...

Didn't see an adjustable or crescent thread but I just came across these two Diamonds. No squished numbering by the horseshoe. And I'm sure it's not rare or anything, but it's the first Sears (non Craftsman) branded tool I've seen, made in Japan. Looks like 70s or 80s. #30873 12in 300mm marked...

Probably nothing special. Just came across them. #1 & 2 Billings C marking on back #3 & 4 Klein 3-12 marking in handle. Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

Found these in my Grandfather's box. One end has a Star with a K inside logo the other end is marked C, D, G smallest to biggest. Assuming part of a set. No marking on the reverse. Only thing I'm getting hits on is Stark Machinery? If anyone has a guess I would appreciate it as usual. My...

How do I do it? Or not possible? Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

Was told my great grandfather made the box. Don't know if that's true but I think he did some welding. Four trays worth. Probably all dull as hell. Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

No other markings. 1/2in drive extension. Look like a Penens marking to you? As far as I can tell they were the only ones to use this cross shape. Maltese Cross? Thanks as always! Need to buy you guys a beer or coffee one of these days!! Joe Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

Sorry If I beating a dead horse. No Northern Tool here. Kobalt and Husky look good. Would probably just CL it after the job. The Craftsman I have now has pinholes. Old Devilbis tank. I realize these aren't top of the line, but thought good or bad on Kobalt 60gal or Husky 60 gal. Then once this...

Proto flathead screwdriver socket. 3/8 drive. Pretty neat! Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

So I inherited a ton of wrenches from my Grandfather with some brands I'm not familiar with. Anyone know anything about these? I have a bunch of Billings which by the B in the triangle I'm guessing New Britain tool works? A ton of Lectrolite. A bunch simply marked Nash. Car maker perhaps? And a...

I'm kind of looking at this Reed vise. However, is that a braze on the slide, I see right behind the front jaw? Sorry if this is a dumb question. Still learning. I need a large bench vise in my shop. Anyway, is what I'm seeing the consensus? Don't want to drive 30 miles if so. Sent from my...

So after finding a couple of SR sockets in a box of sockets I bought from someone. I ran into another one off that has me stumped. The making almost looks like a B or D with a line though it and two II. Never saw one before. No country of origin and it's quite worn sorry I tried to capture it in...

Hey all! Hope your having a great week. I've been using beam style torque wrenches for quite awhile. I'm hard of hearing and haven't had good luck with click type torque wrenches. I can't hear them and rarely can feel them. Beam style has worked alright for me. However I was looking at dial...

Any new good product released lately for oranizing wrenches? Been using the plastic Harbor Feight one which is ok seems to be big with wasted space. Some Craftsman metal ones hanging from the wall and one of these: Anything better out there right now that you guys are using. Have a ton of...

Hi, Hope everyone's week is going well so far. Recently, I bought a box of random vintage sockets. There were some Proto, Indestro, Wizard and this one oddball. The only thing I can come up, after searching Google, is it's possibly an Indian company? It has no made in US stamping on it and is...

Mentioned this over in the new tools thread. Last week it was $179 today it was in the clearance isle for $49. Just wanted a cheap tool set to keep behind the bench in my truck. I'm sure it's not stellar quality however it's a pretty complete kit for only $49. YMMV of course but if your looking...

To make a long story short, I broke a spark plug in half, in my fine 3v Triton V8. All that's left is the electrode shield and the porcelain inside. Tried the Lisle tool and it failed to extract it. Called Lisle for other options and one of their engineers called me back at 9pm on Friday night...
