It's still government property until sold. It was in a locked enclosure. However, if you needed something out of there (like a small piece of metal, etc.) the property control person had the keys and we used things out of there as needed to perform the work.

When I was working for the government, I finally bought new tools for the crews. They were mostly using very old tool sets. Some were well worn while others were OK. The previous supervisor was too conscious of saving every penny with no thought of the time lost working with poor tools. I...

No doubt! That is where he kept his tools when he did something on his Honney Do List !

Come on!..... Get the Lead Out and keep up with threads. Or Lead by example! You heard about the blonde Alchemist who was trying to turn Gold into Lead. :)

Yes, I have a bucket full of springs that I am sure I will never use.... But hope Springs eternal :)

Of course... surely (don't call me that!) you have heard of milliamps and millivolts, kilovolts, megaohms, etc. And the instruments to read them, like KiloMeters :)

I do not see any empty hanger spots... You did not have a hanger spot for 10mm wrenches? :)

I have owned several TR2 and TR3 triumphs.... I can guarantee you they Not HARD to PASS. No real fireballs there. But they are a lot of fun on a twisty road...which you can reach down and touch the ground when driving one.

I think part of the problem is that when USA Car Manufacturers finally started using metric fasteners, they kind of refused to use what is common metric sizes. I remember being disappointed when the metric set I had skipped 15mm, which my Ford Pickup used on several fasteners instead of the...

Well, one of the local churches had their once a year rummage sale. As expected, always a mixed bag of stuff vintage and newer tool wise. I spent too much again :) Not a description of all of it, just some of the loose things I separated out: Utica 91-12 Alloy Steel Adjustable wrench, Vlchek...

I understand... I'm not that sharp myself! :) Auger bits are pretty common and seem to be cheap second hand for old quality ones. For the little use they get in my shop I would just find a better one than try to rework the bad ones.

It's a HART ache, nothing but a Hartache... :)

A couple of sales over the weekend. Vintage Snap On hub remover, still functional. Two Ratchets: Thorsen 77J 2 and S K Wayne 45170. Two large screwdrivers: Big Boy USA flat blade and unmarked Perfect Handle flat blade. Misc. Wrenches: SW1001 Ratchet Action 3/8x7/16, Penens 9/16 comb A.12.4...

Well, you had to use idiot, dim *****, *****, someone who's actually a ***** through and through before you got to the actual thing you were trying to say in the very last sentence.... dealing with Zeros! :)

The rest of the logo photos

These are not all vintage. Some I bought this weekend at yard sales and some others I had laying around. Witco 297 Pliers Wrench, these are not old and I am pretty sure they had plastic handle covers. No Pattern on handles. Vlchek, Hunter wheel weight, CEETEE, PDQ wheel weight, Willard...

Therefore, send not to know for whom the bell tolls It tolls for thee it is someone calling to sell you a car extended warranty :)

Yes, I understand. Shooting outside in the southwest sunshine against a white background tends to wash the photos out a bit. However, the stamping on the Smith pliers is very light. Using chalk and a high magnification some of it is not readable. Here is what I can see, and some of it just...

OK thanks! Here is a close up.

LESSER SON said: I’d like to see more individual pics (full image logo side up, grip pattern) on some of those! He highlighted some and circled some in the photo. Part 2 Klein Lineman's, circled Vaughn Bushnell Lineman's. These are in really in poor condition, only pair I have ever found...
