One of those Craftsman spinner socket wrenches would work too.

I still have the box, and I definitely won't throw them away. When I first saw the rusty box I did think it was just junk. I put them up on a shelf with my Eico tube tester for now. It'll probably be out on the lawn some day after I croak with a $1.00 sticker on it when my wife cleans my...

That's a cool site. Thanks for the link.

Well, I did a little digging here and on the web, and these seem to be pre-depression, somewhere in the 20's. Doesn't seem to be much demand for them, but they look cool. I wouldn't have tossed them after checking them out though. At first all I saw was a rusty box.

Anyone have any info on these things? I was throwing stuff out today and came across a rusty box with this set in it. It was in with a bunch of junk my dad gave me some years ago. I was about to pitch it in the scrap pile before looking closer at it. There were two antique Snap On sockets in...

A set at work, a set in the house, a set in the workshop, a set in the other garage, a set for the junkyard, and a small set in my older truck. Oh yeah, a small set at the gun bench too. I hate running back and forth for tools.

The prices are going up, but so is the quality. I bought tools from HF when they just had a crappy two page flyer and everything was mail order (pre-internet). That stuff was horrible. The tools they have now are better than what Sears sells today, so why wouldn't the price go up? When I was...
