Lugz are you looking for info on the manufacturer? I'm fairly certain its Stanley. I have a 6" model with the same brass features. I'd post a picture but its out in the barn and 5°F...

Thumbs up on the Motive Power bleeder. I bought and used one on a complete brake line replacement job last winter, much better than "pump, hold etc".

These are a few of the vintage axes and hatchets I've got. They are all in rough "as found" condition and currently I don't see any indication of manufacturers. The axe is a project my dad fiddled with, still needs some help. The tomahawk has R.C. burned into the handle, likely my great...

Pulled the blown engine off my '65 Simplicity lawn tractor. No heat in the barn but I was determined to get that thing on the bench today.

Thanks Lugz, I'll check that site out!

Thanks Lugz- Aside from this thread, what is the correct brand thread to share to?

I've been bitten by other peoples troubleshooting. Glad that you were able to take a breath, step back and gather data for yourself. Good luck with your project!

Found this poor thing in Dads hammer drawer, had a hard life in spite of its small size. I'm not sure where this fits into the brand hierarchy other than Plumb is not Plomb..

Yep, didn't take long..

That sounds like a call for help😄

Any interior shots Lugz? Is it one large pouch?

Found this guy in a box of smalls.

Drives- do the drawers latch? It looks like the handles lift to unlatch, reminds me of these storage drawers we had in the Electrical Shop on board USCGC Mesquite. This pic is from 1987.

Repaired a Ryobi weed whacker. The trigger switch had failed and replacements are NLA. I crafted a replacement from my stash of old parts. Functions good as new, ready for spring.

Park boxes such as that one were built in Grant Park, IL about 50 miles south of Chicago.

Moved the battery maintainer from one of the tractors to the bug. All are in winter lay up.

Crushed all the cans emptied over the holidays. I'm down with the 'vid and it wore me out.

All sources or the antique radio forum bunch?

The Wiggy was an indispensable electricians tool in the days before affordable Fluke products. They have an unfortunate track record of spectacular failure and injury. Strictly forbidden in industry today. Lugz- your example is very cool & very early!
