Late notice but just found it myself. 20% off site-wide. Ends today. Hurry!

Years ago I was in a bind out in the wild and used it drive out a stuck u-joint. I replaced it with a Craftsman. If I can find a BenchTop it will calm my OCD. It is a 3/8" drive, 9/16" deep, part #2133918. I'll buy or I have a lot of trade material ranging from Craftsman to SnapOn. Thanks...

I updated my wanted thread but thought I would post here also just to display them for your amusement. This was a set I inherited from my dad. Thanks to KnurledNut and some ebay finds, I am almost ready to say, "Complete." I'm still searching for a 6" extension. My dad used a DuroChrome 689...

I was considering purchasing this Proto hex bit socket set with a coupon code from MSC. http://www.protoindustrial.com/en/industrial-tools/Proto/Hand-Sockets/Bit-Socket-Sets/J4990-MST_Proto%C2%AE-3|8%22-Drive-7-Piece-Metric-Short-Hex-Bit-Set-/ However, in my effort to participate in HJE Day...

I couldn't find a thread on Trident Supply so I'll start one. Kelsey was super nice and ever so helpful on a quick turn, same-day order. The folks there are great to work with. Hope to do more biz with them. :thumbup:

I was waiting on a plumber to show up at the house this morning, so to pass some time I made these. I had some spare drivers so I made a couple full handled stubbies. I had used some at work and liked them. Well, the plumber still hadn't showed, so I kept going. Made a full set including a...

So, whenever I'm in Lowe's I always stroll through the tool section on my way out to see if there are any of those familiar yellow markdown tags on anything I need (and keep in mind that on this forum "need" and "want" are synonymous). I mean, it's right there by the registers and it would be a...

I bought some sockets from KnurledNut. Great communication, easy to deal with, superfast shipping. Highly recommended. Hope to trade with him again soon. :thumbup:

This maybe should go in the Hot Deal thread but I'm not sure how many look at it regularly. Anyway, the Sears Parts and Repair store on Kings Road (off Miller Road) in Garland has this 5 drawer tool box on sale Saturday only for $67.50 (75.00 less 10% Saturday sale). Not bad for an extra or a...

UPDATE: I'm pretty good on the sockets now. Thanks to all members who helped! Still looking for an extension of 5 or more inches to feel complete. Thanks for looking! (New photos in post #17). Looking for "Western" branded 1/2" drive sockets to complete the set pictured. Sizes needed include...

Thanks to BigpigDave, my little two wrench "set" is now closer to actually qualifying as a set. It'd be great if I could continue the expansion. The part numbers I have are: 6723, 6725B, and 6727. I would be interested in any other sizes. Thanks for the help.

I recently ordered some tools from a large, on-line vendor to fill in some gaps in my tool sets. Among them was a Proto 5/8x11/16 deep offset satin finish wrench, part number J8182. When the items arrived, the Proto wrench was a shallow offset but was stamped 8182 (bottom wrench in the...

I bought the 13 piece Craftsman Professional combination wrench set on special last week, 30% off plus the 5off50 deal. I purchased it on line and picked it up from the local store on my way home from work. I didn't get a chance to unpackage it until Tuesday and uh oh, the 9/16 was bent...

I was recently given a 3/8" drive air ratchet. Does this require the use of impact sockets or simply chrome sockets?:headscrat Thanks for the help.

Well, Blue Point really. This has probably been discussed before but I just found this one in my own box. It's a dull story but it has one of those "things that make you go hmmm" elements, for me anyway. A few years ago I needed to replace a part on my pickup that required a 7mm wrench. Due...

I have a Snap On socket that I'm trying to determine the date of manufacture for but the emblem on it doesn't seem to match anything on my chart. Of course, I may just be looking at it wrong (translation: stupid). It is in a set that I'm assembling with date codes from 1939 to 1947 (please...

I need some help completing some old sets. I'm sure you guys can help. First up is a set of vintage Snap On sockets. They are 1/2" drive, 12 point with date codes ranging from 1939 to 1947. I have 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4, 13/16, 7/8, 1 inch. Looking for any others. Next is a set of...

Hello GJ! I have been following the site for a few months and this is my first post. I am looking to fill some gaps and extend some sets, and I know you can help. The first is a set of 1/2" drive Western sockets. I don't know how old they are, they were my Dad's. I have 11/16, 3/4, 25/32...
