Got this level in recently and noticed the small static vial is empty. It doesn't have a stamp anywhere but does look similar to a Starlett or Stanley(think I've seen both brands with similar design). Anybody know enough about these to make a guess at the brand and if it's possible to replace...

Got this box awhile back and noticed the bottom is different than other similar sized boxes. This one has heavy trim that's connected to the bottom with skid plates(some models marketed as truck boxes also had skid plates but I couldn't find much on them either). Posted about it and was told it...

This was in a lot I recently got along with some other tools with the "perfect" handles(RR style pipe wrench and ball peen hammer so far). It needs cleaned up but it looks like when the screw is loosened both sides of the handle drop down making it a T handle(or just a side handle if tightened...

Recently got this setup plus the side boxes(front two with logo, back one without, all shelves) in a lot(also mystery box that looks like it's from the 50s but it's on its way out once I fix a bent slide for $20 already). Was going to use the KR-555C and KR-550(didn't check for letter yet...

Got this from a friend tossing out old scraps and equipment from his new(bought out his aunt's 20+ year business) fire suppression systems(extinguishers, sprinklers, chemical suppressants) business and neither of us knew what it was so he didn't want to toss it back on his already overloaded...

Found a guy selling some tools on Facebook and noticed what looks like a Matco locking flex ratchet and the odd Ratchet beside it. Looks like a Cornwell till you notice the handle and it got me interested in figuring out what it is.

I've been looking for two styles of dollies, a champion heavyweight 1070 and Porter Ferguson GD-4(or different brand if another made them too), and I've found a few on eBay. The issue is most of them have heavy pitting or heavy denting(plus the prices for beat up ones are still at around 60%...

Trying to figure out what these are and what they're for along with any info on King Equip't Co.. Pretty sure the three pieces in first photo are for letting off air from tires(at least that's what the medium one is being used for now, also medium one was in a lot with valve stem tools) but I...

Got this wrench awhile back and haven't been able to find any info on it. Wondering if anybody here knows anything. Found 14" single end wrenches by bluepoint but they're only in larger sizes and this wrench is longer and has a bent handle. Also think I had found some similar wrenches before...

Got this box set today and I'm trying to figure out what models/years they are and how best to remove the drawers for repairs and cleaning. The slides don't use the clips you can pop off with a screwdriver and I seen a video of someone using a bent piece of metal to reach the disconnect but...

Found this set on marketplace, $9 for the set($45 for shipping). Thought the design was interesting though so I tried looking it up elsewhere and found nothing beyond a page saying the brand, Hetong, hasn't been active in 11 years. Anybody have any opinion on the design/seen the same design...

Seen this tray at a yard sale and noticed it was a little longer than the standard carry boxes so I thought it might fit my longer box that's missing a tray but unfortunately it's longer than it too. Now I'm curious what it might've been for, looks well built and the coating is alot more than...

Have been looking at using boat cleats for tying off something in my office/shop for a bit and was curious if anybody has any projects they've done with them beyond their usual purpose. Thought they were used in old theatres for basically everything like lights and curtains already and I like...

Was curious what boxes were on eBay and if any had estimates for freight delivery and found this. If anybody wants it you have 18 hours! https://www.ebay.com/itm/snap-on-tool-box-/234614764094?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

Got another lot of tools the other day because I saw the pliers on top in one of the boxes and I thought they looked like knipex plus I needed some extra carry boxes(ended up with two big ones in like new condition minus one tray). No name on the pliers in the end as far as I can see. The...

Got this at a sale Saturday and currently working towards degreasing it(minimal rust, mainly grease caked plus 95-99% chrome loss across the board, basically copper plating fully exposed) but I'm still processing all the stuff I've gotten last week for sets before I can get to it so I'm mainly...

Got this a month or so ago in a lot of tools along with a Kobalt 3/8 air ratchet(newer). Both were in rough shape and neither were guaranteed to work so I didn't put any value on them. Figured if they didn't work it'd be something to play with at least. Ratchet ended up working so it's out to...

Went on another job today and ended up running in a flea market afterwards. Found some interesting stuff pretty cheap, plus a few interesting pieces that I didn't buy because they were 2.5x selling price and didn't match my collections enough to justify. First off here's a pair of Vacuum...

Was heading to a job today and drove by a scrap yard. Seen a few tool boxes sitting by the giant claw machine playing around in one of the piles. Joked about stopping after the job was done and ended up actually stopping. Worker said he'd sell the box for $700 because the guy that dropped it...

Just got my third personal box, excluding carry boxes, and I just finished repairing it (once it's cleaned up I'll be posting it and it's story along with trying to find the one part it's missing). Now it needs mats in the drawers and some stickers removed before it gets loaded up with all the...
