Thanks for the link, billymade. I went thru my son's toolbox (he is six) and most of his stuff is the early 1950's thru the late 1970's.

That is a neat set, with the box and all. I am sorry for the hijack and dumb question, but how do you tell the difference between the older Snap-On tools and the newer ones?

I must confess that I am a tool wh*re.

Farm auctions, pawn shops, and ebay. About half of them appear to have never been used. I have paid 9.95 up to 33.50 /ea for them. Some of them still have not been used, but when all I can afford is junk equipment, I figure that I will get some use out of them at some point.:rolleyes:

I personally like and own the Wright Tool wrenches with the round handles (much easier on the hands). I have them thru 2 1/2". Much more reasonable than some other brands. Could also make a good weapon if necessary.:bounce:

The Hutchins looks nice. I am not a professional auto-anything. I have been restoring several older tractors and do not have a sander (always borrowin one from my father -in-law). Do you think in my case that the Hutchins is worth the extra investment? Can you recomend a place to purchase from?

I am looking to purchase a D/A sander for small projects. I am currently like the looks of the IR 4151 & 4152. Can these be used without a vac? Does anyone have any experience/recomendations? Thanks

The two Skewdrivers that I have are a bit different than what you have pictured, but these have proved invaluable when I was in college working in high end car audio installations: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-2u5hldpJeEZ/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?i=180SPK4042

I have been collecting both Winchester and Keen Kutter tools since I was nine years old (almost 30 years). I honestly have not ever seen a Winchester ratchet like you described. I don't think it would be worth a fortune, but definately worth a $20 bill.

Here is a link to Wera sale in this month's MSC Flyer: http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNPDFF?PMCTLG=70&PMPAGE=1 Go to page 25.

I've never heard of Felo, but you can purchase Wera screwdrivers from MSC Industrial. I'm pretty sure that they are on sale this month (check out the sale flyers on their website). McMaster Carr also used to carry them, but not sure they still do. I have been thinking of buying another set...

I have been stocking up on spare screwdrivers and air compressor fittings. Can never seem to have too many of either of those.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooooooo. I almost got a divorce the last time I found Sears $5 off coupons for $5 or more. The last time was in April of 1999 just after I got married. At the time, the coupons were for anything in the store. I think we cashed in 43 coupons in six weeks time...

I picked up a pretty nice set from Buzzard Gulch a couple of years ago. The tools have metal handles. I believe that it was manufactured by Blackjack.

At work, I am waiting on a shipment from my supplier of .080 3003 aluminum (28 sheets). My current price is $104/sheet delivered, with a pvc protective coating on one side. I was paying less than $56/sheet a little over three years ago. My last shipment of polished material (one side only)...

I think there were two locations. One of them was Pocahontas.

I received an auction flyer at work this past week. It was for some serious metalworking machinery at three Waterloo manufacturing plants, possibly in Arkansas (???).

My only purchase was a Millport 9 X 42 knee mill with a DRO, powerfeed, & Kurt vise.
