That's my best guess. I live in Flint Mi, guys steal tools from plants and shops all the time. I get my stuff in bulk estate auction lots and restore it. I've come across plant tools before, and even measuring tools from the Ford X garage circa Carol Shelby. Just never a set of these. God I love...

Inversely, they could be in house shop markings. I worked in the machinists field off and on for several years. God help me I love unions, but they do allow some unprofessional people slide by occasionally. That could account for the sloppy stamping.

It just seems like a ton of effort and serial numbering for a set of purchasable crimpers. That said, I've seen my fair share of modified tools (We call them ranches in this house) some certainly that could have been bought for a cheaper cost than the modification. I catalog a couple hundred...

Been over them with a literal magnifying glass. Just the Utica triple diamond and the "1000" stamp. I thought the add ons were some kind of nipper, but they don't seem to have ever met. They look fragile for any kind of crimper but if they're Thomas and Betts maybe that?

Anyone know what the addition on these jaws is? Can't find anything on the serial number (they're individually stamped)

I use this little guy quite a bit to hold shims for filing and delicate parts (I even made magnetic soft jaws for it). Couldn't get a good picture of the fed number. Wouldn't trade it for anything.

My 10 inch swing 732-B My camera doesn't do it justice, still has the decal, looks like it was used once.

Been away for a while, happy to be back. Question: Anyone know who made this Stubby 1/4 inch spinner? It's driving me up a wall.

Had a phone get stolen from me a while back, finally figured out my password here (guilty of not saving it anywhere) Real glad to be here again and not have to start from scratch. For the record, •I'm Bear (yes it's my actual name I'm an indigenous person) •Southeast Michigan...

Pretty sure I have a pack of those blades kicking around here somewhere.

Oh wow, oh man. I didn't know this thread existed. Tiny (functional) tools and hardware are a mild obsession of mine... Little backstory, I have inordinately large hands. Not a brag, just why I'm obsessed. Small tools are near impossible for me to use haha. My grandfather used to poke fun at me...

These are just my daily drivers lol

I have....so many 😂 from coes to trimo in every size basically (3 inch to 48 inch) they're probably the most useful tool in here (pipe or monkey).

Welp, not sure if this saw vise counts, but:

Welp, got caught up with this guy instead. Recut a socket cap, cleaned her up, replaced the seals. Not sure on the brand yet. Guessing it was painted on at some point. Thing weighs about 40lbs. Pretty sure they invented balancers for these:

Here's today's project so far. Same barn, same four inches of mud. Haven't looked this guy up yet, but a pumps a pump. I spared y'all pictures of the initial scrape down. Left it to dry overnight and started in around 10:00 (it's 3:00 now). Disclaimer: Those of you sensitive to antique wrench...

Just happened upon this little guy

Looks like an old companion motor. Just pulled one out of the mud, just my opinion though.

Oh, one more thing. I was told y'all may not know about synflex tubing. Look, this isn't a suggestion. But synflex is 3k psi rated air brake line. If you have some know how and some 1/4 barb fittings, well, you could make a light duty air hose that's 25ft or so and fits in a shoebox. Weighs as...

So pretty much a free compressor. Little drive, some salvaged gauges, pipe and fittings. Little work, and being nice to a lady when she was having a hard time. Took a day. If you're curious, I can go into whichever step ya want. Otherwise, that's it.
