Going through totes still and came across this lot of interesting tools from a mechanics estate. I know what a few are used for, but most I have not a clue.

Whipped this together in about an hour. Works good, looks good.

OK, I understand now. I haven't ever seen that before in a socket. This must be something that is normally cleaned out. Thanks for the info! :thumbup:

It looks like if you took a toilet paper roll and cut 6 slits in the end and then folded them over onto each other to close up that end. Yes, this socket has been "modified" (ground down) to make the wall thinner. Doing this obviously weakened the socket and it is broken in several spots.

Yeah manufacture dates 1931 - 1942. Not looking to credit this, just wondering how they are made.

Ok, I have been digging through my auction totes this weekend and came across some Snap On sockets. These appear to be 9/32 drive. The question I have is on the manufacture of these. This particular socket looks to have been "modified" by someone to make it thinner walled. It is stamped m-12...

Sounds to me like you experienced a true tool truck experience. Order, wait, wait, wait, give up, find original maker online and order, receive in two days. You sure that truck didn't say MAC? :lol_hitti

Any of these would be overkill for you :thumbup: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002AKKFQW/?tag=atomicindus08-20 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001S2RD90/?tag=atomicindus08-20 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002IKKFU0/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I have been quite impressed with the quality of VIM tools. Several MAC item are rebadged VIM's. ( don't hold that against VIM) :bounce:

They wear very very quickly.

AAHHHHH looking for the rare and elusive MAC Tools dealer. GOOD LUCK!:fingersx:

So many of these online sites seem so fly by night. Most are drop ship stores, half-assed customer service at best. They lure you in with the cheap price on a search and in the end they put the screws to you. I shop AMAZON and TOOLTOPIA exclusively and have never had any problems with either...

I have purchase quite a bit of the "black and yellow". I have noticed everything purchased in the last year and a half is China. I guess they found someone cheaper than Mexico. I have also noticed inconsistencies in the yellows from tool to tool.

I wish I had put in soffit lighting.

Where did you find these for $29? I picked up a set off Amazon for roughly $57.

Milton 506. :thumbup:

Our Mac guy must be into magic.... He has made himself disappear:bounce:

The MAC truck used to stop at my work once a week. Then every other week. Our mechanic at work had to call him several weeks ago so he could pay him. He hadn't seen the truck since AUGUST!! I've seen him twice since September and I had to call him to get him there. Nice guy but, why would...

The Chinese are very capable of producing quality products. The problem lies with the greedy companies telling the Chinese " build me lots of these for as cheap as you can, durability does not matter".
