If we had been around 100 yrs, we'd look a little twisted too! thanks, kas

Take a look at the Blue Point Groove Joint Pliers and check the numbering. The Artifacts pages have a little narrative on the S-O . Diamond relationship going back to the old Moto-Spec line.

Posting the last of my adjustable farm / monkey wrench types. I kept the smallest two. You probably recognize the Acme with the twisted handle. The International (unmarked) with the 1907 Patent is a little harder to pin down. The Shulz's Wrench book has a similar one on p. 76 (#965). That...

To me, The chinese s**t is the last nail in the coffin at the Death of a Legend. Put me in a really dark mood. Better work my way out celebrating the old Diamonds I collect.

I have now, and used to have, a brother-in-law named Craig. Neither one has offered to help. Is there something about Craigs that is so helpful??? Maybe it is just brothers-in-law. I will be fine, just have to find a bench tough enough to hold it. My 3 x 4 footer with a 3/8 inch hot roll...

Apex Tools - Super High Quality Tools. Made for day-in and day-out service on assembly lines. Never see them in Consumer stores. Well kept secret. I have a few sockets from an Industrial Surplus auction. Tough Stuff!

I want the Steinadler!!!! Really Fine example of a beautiful tool. Thanks for posting.

Diamond used / uses forges with die stamps to make their tools. Your point is well taken though. I worked in a foundry, and sometimes the molds would not be tightly closed and come apart just a bit to form what we called a "flash" or "flashing". In this case, the flashing results from the...

I bought it at auction. Diamond Duluth closed and moved in '83 or so and to become part of The Cooper Tools group. Tools marked Diamond USA since that time. Diamond material became really prevalent over Northern and especially Northeastern MN. I suspect (don't know for a fact) that these...

I like the Tiger Grip as it is made in MN!

Re: Flea Market Haul Can't help with the Craftsman, But a couple of comments on the Diamond and "Ford" wrench. My collections stop at the point where Diamond marks its wrenches USA and not Duluth. Diamond was bought out in the early 80s by a company who received a ton of $ from the city of...

Thanks Mr. ICanFixAnything, for the generous reply to my auction find. I forgot another title I was going to use: "Making Diamonds" Thanks again from the newbie.

This is my user set of Diamonds, plus 2 of my Grandad's Crescents, which I will never part with until I croak. The 24 inch just got me out of a bunch of trouble along with a Ridgid 36" on a very stubborn reducer on a pump I am restoring.

This is my favorite adjustable wrench(es). I suppose you could call it "a diamond in the rough". I am posting my users separately.

I used to buy retail. But, wonder of wonders, my wife :bowdown: said I had to go to my old high school surplus auction! And that is where my tool savings began. I can't remember when I last bought retail - other than consumables, like cut-off wheels, taps and reamers, lots of green clean and...

New Kid here with a new vise. I hope to live long enough to finish a restoration. Yard stick on vise measures 26 inches from front jaw to end of slide. Jaws are 7 in wide. Runs about 190 lbs. Nice to know I can still carry my weight. I am not too worried about the exploded middle shown in...
