Drives, if I remember right my 160 weighs in at 143#. Definitely a solid vise. The Reed is still a through the bench swiveler, and that's why it is in storage instead of bolted down somewhere. The bottom part was removed for that picture so it could sit nicely. Those early Reed's are very...

Definitely not! I'd pick the cheapest chinesium money can buy over them. Most people I know over here think of gedore as rock bottom low quality because of it. About the only people I've found here who like them (and aren't German tool collectors) are people who have only used the German pipe...

I've seen a fair bit of the Indian stuff over my side of the Atlantic, hardly any of the German stuff apart from pipe wrenches though. I will say in general the Indian gedore I've seen is among the very worst looking tools I've seen Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

Feel free to use any of my pictures as well! Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

My guess would be a 6", they did make an 8 though. I'd quite like to find a Chicago 180 to fill out my Morgan family some Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

That sounds like it should be an interesting bench! I've always liked those cast iron legs. There was a set locally I was very tempted by, but they were at least a foot too short to be any use for a bench. Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

I've also found the tips on the protos to be far harder than the tips on the MAC wooden ones. To the point a file won't touch them. I can't imagine ever being able to chew up the end of one of these. Proto is a favorite of mine as well, especially the older Los Angeles marked stuff Sent from...

Drives, here are pictures of some of my proto screwdrivers. I've got a few more slotted ones around here somewhere. I like that they put the steel cap on at least some of the slotted ones. Good way to prevent breaking the handle by driving it into a stubborn screw. Sent from my MotoG3 using...

I'd say $150 sounds reasonable if all is good. I've got a slightly bigger (3.5") rock island swivel jaw that I use all the time. Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

Vises, I'm intrigued That vise is very rough, but very interesting. Not really like anything I've seen before. Any details? Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

I like the Emmert! Those look like a real versatile vise. Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

Drives, have you came across any of the proto screwdrivers with the wooden handles? I've got a couple and can't recall seeing more anywhere else. If anything I like them even more than the wooden Mac's, and I have an entire drawer full of them..... Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

I really like those bronze Columbians. I'm trying to figure out how the heck you've managed to find two of them.... Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

The numbers look like they could be either to my eyes, I'd highly doubt it's from 1844 though, doesn't look nearly old enough to me Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

I've always liked stahlwille too, hazet is probably my favorite brand though. I'll buy every single used hazet tool I see, even if I don't need it. I've got about half a set of the hazet 600 (not 600n) that are my absolute favorite wrenches. Only go by 1/8s though.. I have the rest filled in...

I've really been loving the German combination wrenches lately.... Good assortment of hazet and Elora. Kinda thinking I'll replace my snapon set with hazet sometime... Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

Snap-on drivers really seem to vary I've got two within the area I'm in. One is absolutely incredible to deal with. The other I've heard nothing good about. No prizes for guessing which one has the newer and nicer truck, and gets most of the local business Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

Japan actually seemed to make quite good vises. The Erons I've seen (record clones) were every bit as good as the English records. Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

Very nice! Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

Every 4oz can except the gold was about $8 The gold was $30... Lettering on castings is about the extent of my sign painting abilities I've never been able to do freehand lettering if it's on a smooth flat surface Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk
