I figured if I had a good enough confidence in getting a good deal, I'd go and try to haggle her down a bit. Hard to do when they won't show anything Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This add popped up on local Craigslist, and I'm not too knowledgeable on vintage toolboxes, or picking out sockets or other tools just by looking at a blurry picture. Do you see anything that'd make a box worth $75? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, the transaction was so fast. I flipped the lid, saw the red cap on back of the impact and the leather cover, then asked about the sockets and he got all pissy and we parted ways. We use Hilti at work a lot. Their powder actuated line is fantastic. Their electric power tools are every bit...

Wow that sander is nice! The PC letter just makes it THAT much cooler. Congrats on that. I'll definitely let you guys know if I get a response from either manufacturer.

So many of the vintage threads I read on here mention contacting the manufacturer. I have no idea why it didn't occur to me that I could do the same thing. At the moment, the impact is working extremely well. I've got it temporarily rewired to test everything and see what may need cleaning and...

You're right actually. If both of the companies are still in business, they should be able to give me some sort of information, even if it's them telling me to leave them alone with all of this discontinued foolishness haha. I guess I can write to both Sioux and Ingersoll and tell them both...

That's awesome to hear. Im so glad so many people have seen these and recognize them. What ***** is that none of you Tool Nerds have any info on them [emoji30]

The photo with the sockets was actually from the previous owners sale ad because I forgot to take one for you guys once I got it home. He was very firm on not letting me get the sockets with the box. So far it seems to be polishing out very nicely. Once I get the entire thing cleaned up...

Wow I didn't even think of trying to look into the service centers... I found "Chas. H. Day Co." on the service center page. It's so cool to know y'all are still around. If you find anything out, please let me know!

The impact itself feels incredibly dense and heavy duty. The Ingersoll quality back then (whatever year it may be from) was to notch.. Unfortunately he kept the sockets because he would be able to use them with his other impacts. I didnt even get a chance to look at them.

When I first saw the IR in the box, I was sad due to the fact I thought I had a 100% set up. Once I started doing research, I realized how cool it is to actually have a little of both Sioux and IR so I could learn about both brands electric tool history. But yes, I had a small OSHA power tool...

Garage Journal has taught me everything I know about what keywords to search for on local adds [emoji38] I'll just go ahead and take the "you ****" as you just being jealous of my luck.

I would LOVE to find something that would back that up. The thought has crossed my mind a few times, so it feels nice to know I'm not the only one that might be crazy lol

I found that on my initial searches and couldn't really use it to help me date anything or figure out specifics to the tool or box. The dang pneumatic tools keep getting in the way. Thank you for showing interest in trying to help me!

I think I just fixed the photo issue. I may be willing to part with the box, although it was one of my main reasons for getting it. The girlfriend doesn't share the passion for cool things.

Yes, I actually put on some non conductive gloves and plugged it in. It worked well in both forward and reverse. I was surprised. Sorry about the pictures. I'm very new to posting on the forums.

Yeah I'm pretty upset about the IR impact being in there but I'm still so interested in learning about both the IR impact and the Sioux now. I don't know why I can't find any information about either of them.

Early 70's! Already on the right track. Thanks so much! It's definitely very cool to tear it apart and see how everything worked back then compared to the modern stuff

My next issue. Once I inspected the tool itself, I noticed that it was actually an Ingersoll-Rand. The impact on the paperwork and on the box are very similar to the cosmetics on the Ingersoll, but they are noticeably different. So here is the tool and any words or numbers I could find on...

Once I got home, I went to the shop and started to look at what I had. I was (and still am) amazed at the leather cover over the tool and pulled the impact out the box to further inspect it. When I pulled the tool out, I found the old Soiux paperwork that came with the tool (sales brochure...
