Yes, the part numbers are stamped on the handles, however the part numbers are different between the short and long-handled 1/2-drive ratchets. The short are 4860, long are 4862. UAIU, I'll send you a PM about the ratchet. I'd be willing to part with one of the long-handled ones.

Postscript: I opened up the hand drill, and it is indeed designed as such, it has an intricate and well-built gear setup in there, along with a good packing of bearing grease, there is no way this thing could have originally been anything other than a hand drill. That being said, it's still a...

Another great day picking through the tools at the flea market. Here's the haul today: Pic 1: Proto screwdriver, Williams "S" light service wrench, Auto-Kit style combo wrench, Wiss snips, 7 sockets (1 no-name hex drive, and 6 Craftsman including a new impact), Lectrolite battery DBE, a 6-inch...

I took a few pics of what I got in the lot I purchased. Includes a pair of each: 3/8 drive ratchet, 1/2 drive ratchet, and long-handled 1/2 drive ratchets. His and her set, if you will. Also have a bunch of sockets. The ratchets remind me of Wright tootsie-roll-handled ratchets. All of...

I just looked at it, and there are no markings on mine. Sorry....

Powr Kraft used to be a homeowner-grade brand of tools marketed by Montgomery Ward. I recently got a small lot of PK tools in new condition, probably 1970s manufacture, however I notice that none of them seem to have the country of origin stamped on the tools. I assume it was printed on the...

Had a productive weekend at the fleas and garage sales! 1 - lot of Craftsman stuff: long-C breaker bar, 1/4-drive ratchet, set of 9 vintage number stamps in a wooden box (not sure if the box is originally Craftsman), 2 DOE wrenches, a 1/2-drive extension, and a total of 21 sockets from...

Found this in with my vintage tool stash. Small slip-joint, angled head pliers. Very simple but well made.

Don't quote me on this, but I've seen a similar type of vise made by the Cole Tool Co. The one I saw looked quite a bit heavier than that one, though.

I'm in this year - the missus gave me permission to use the credit card so I'll be blowing a couple hundred on new toys for the toolbox!

Thanks, I can would have never guessed that!

Last weekend's haul from the garage sales: two books: "Grading Rules for Western Lumber" from 1972, and RCA receiving tube manual cast iron egg cooker (???), no markings but I believe it's vintage USA made 5 vintage wrenches (Barcalo Buff, 2 x Williams, Proto, and a tiny Fairmount) 6 vintage...

Wow, I've seen bigger, but not many. Nice!

I believe the ********* box's tag says "DECODER, VIDEO, KY-118/GPX". If my eyes are sharp enough to see that and I'm right, that's part of an old military radar set.

LOL who said anything about me using it as a carb?:thumbup:

Also got this single barrel carb at a flea market - cost was $5. Not sure what it's original vehicle was meant to be, its last patent date put the carb at a 1941 as it's earliest possible use.

This past weekend I was only able to stop at a couple garage sales, but I stocked up on small doo-dads of a vintage nature there. Always things I can use or fidget with! Cost was $10 for everything.

My saves for the weekend at one garage sale, all for $15.50 Bonney DOE 7/8 and 1-1/8 flare nut wrench DBE wrench marked "Ford Brakes Handy Hex", 1/2 and 7/16 square nuts early wood-handled Stillson adjustable wrench from J.P. Danielson 8-inch adjustable wrench called a "Masterench" made by...

Okay, I know all about cadmium wrenches and how you're not supposed to wire brush them or otherwise make cadmium dust, very VERY bad. So that being said, how do you guys recommend cleaning up cadmium wrenches with lots of dirt and grime, would a light brass or nylon brush be okay under running...

Have had very little time for flea markets recently, but here's the little haul last weekend: Pics 1&2: all for $2 Proto long handled screwdriver in nice shape, 3 Proto sockets, an unknown bicycle wrench, and a Vaco BeCu non-sparking screwdriver (very neat!) Pics 3&4: $5 Big pair of scissors...
