Curious what the collective here thinks. While browsing eBay surprised to see pics I had taken (of tools) in an eBay auction that wasn't mine. They are pics I've posted here, does that mean it's a free for all? This person has the same username here as on eBay. I was never asked for permission.

In the market for a nice pair of HD linesman - type pliers with a heavy duty cutter. NWS: http://nws-tool.com/products/nws-1092-62-225-high-leverage-combination-pliers-combibolt Klein: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000936OLC/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Both seem to get positive reviews. I have looked...

I'm not sure what this is. My mom bought it at an estate sale along with some old Proto and Craftsman screwdrivers. Kovatch Castings is apparently not far away from me in Uniontown, Oh. Some quick Google searching tells me they're an investment casting outfit. This tool measures 7-7/8" long...

Searched a little on here didn't find much. Since these rats have the same model numbers as the older style I'm guessing. Anyway, I had a hankering to buy an "industrial finish" (black oxided) ratchet. Found a good deal on a new Proto 5450XLBL on ebay. It is 1/2 drive 15" long black oxide...

Thinking about pulling the trigger on one of these, but I noticed the 1/2" drive version isn't on Armstrong's website, just the 1/4 and 3/8. Is the 1/2 discontinued?

did a brief search here and didn't really turn up much since Craftsman turns up so many hits. I have found a new set of metric black oxide C-man Industrials locally for not much $. They look like regular RP wrenches, anything special about them? If these are the same as regular RP wrenches...

My dad gave me a 6 pc set of Proto Professional 1/4 drive Torx bit sockets, but the ends are all pretty well trashed. Where can I buy the replacement tips? Proto's website didn't show them, at least that I could see.

Did someone think the rear swivel jaw was a crack in the vise or something??? http://toledo.craigslist.org/tls/4473252190.html

I stopped at my parents' house yesterday and was talking garage/tool stuff with dad, when vises and GJ came up. He has 2 home vises, a stout Polish 6" and a blacksmith's post vise. He then mentioned he had another old vise somewhere, long mothballed, and that I could have it if I helped him dig...

I was curious if anyone knows anything about these. I am a newb to welding but I think I know what they are for however I wonder who made these for GE, what the illegible writing on the pouch says, and what is with the cartoon face on the back?? What other tools did GE make?

I picked this set up today for $17.99 before tax at my local Tractor Supply. Made in USA. http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/mayhew-select-5-piece-cold-chisel-set seemed like a good deal to me, considering the price of individual cold chisels. thought i'd pass it along.

I picked this up at a local used tool store today. edit: ok. here we go...it is a Bonney R701 3/4 drive ratchet. It also came with a ZR609 3/4 extension, I am guessing 9" (actually 8.75") and 21 3/4 drive sockets, from 7/8 up to 2-1/4 by 16ths. There are some Bonney sockets but it is a...

I just picked this up today for the box, but it has some goodies inside too. I wish that a) all the original Snap On pieces were there and b) that the tools weren't so rusty. It measures 20.25x6.75x2.875. How old is this box? I love the patina. What came in this box when new? It came with an...

Lots of neat tool score threads here but I didn't see one dedicated to machinist tools. I am a cnc/manual machinist by trade and collecting machinist tools can be a fun pastime. I try to use most of them at work so I don't feel guilty about buying tools I don't use. Here are some of my scores...

picked this up a couple of weeks ago at a small tool exchange i frequent. I tried googling the # and didn't turn up much. I was curious if these are the original pieces. it came with a 45170 ratchet, 6" extension, 3/8 fem. to 1/4 male adapter, 1/4 nutdriver handle and then 20 sockets including...
