    Vintage S-K Tools

    It's all out there - somewhere! I still have some energy for digging through the flea markets, junk stores, tag sales, etc. There's a ton of S-K stuff in my area - I often buy the ratchets and extensions, and some nicer DBEs, OEs and combo wrenches. I've been thinking lately that I should just...

    Vintage S-K Tools

    Does anyone have an S-K Wayne 45116 1/2" 6-point shallow 3/8" drive socket they'll part with? - same era as the 45118 in the pics. ...also an S-K Wayne 45170 3/8" ratchet and 45160 3" 3/8" drive extension. (I know - pushing my luck...) Thanks.

    Thanks, 3bay - a friend of mine thought the same thing. If so, I'd like to see the brakes this thing was meant to adjust!

    Proto Tools Picture Thread - Post Yours!

    Here's an interesting Proto wrench - it just came from a flea market. I can find no info at all on it. It looks like the fairly common pebble flare wrenches, but the head is very beefy, and it's 8-point. Internet Archive doesn't seem to have a catalog old enough for this to make an appearance...

    Let's see your Herbrand!

    Thanks! I seem to remember that a number of companies sold similar products back in the '50s and '60s - or is that a faulty memory??

    Let's see your Herbrand!

    I just found this screwdriver today at a local junk store. It's a model 305E; it appears in Herbrand's catalog #57 from 1961 as a "spark-detecting screwdriver", "for testing high-frequency circuits". The slot in the handle has a bulb in it. I haven't tried to test it. I like the stepped ferrule.

    Alloy Artifacts not reachable

    I've been trying to get to AA's site for a couple of days, haven't been able to. Got a pop-up just now that said they may have moved, or be having some kind of trouble at their end. Anyone else got this problem?

    I nearly missed it - it was at the bottom of a bucket full of mostly junk, including several cheap 1/4" ratchets which all look the same at a quick glance. I stabbed my hand on something in the bucket, and was about to give up when I saw there was one more dirt-covered ratchet that looked a...

    Show off your Screwdrivers!!!!

    Thanks, four.cycle - I did see this listing; East Windsor is about a half-hour away from my house; I probably drove past the building more than once, back in the '90s when they were still in business.

    Show off your Screwdrivers!!!!

    I hope I'm posting this in the right place, but I can't find a more appropriate thread, so here goes... Here's an unusual screwdriver I just acquired - it's a "Screwmaster" Mark- No.7 "rotary-type impact screwdriver". The list of toolmakers has an entry for the maker - The East Windsor Tool &...
