I saw that the Milwaukee folding rule on the shelf at HD was made in Switzerland, caught me off guard. They do seem nice. Thanks for that info.

Picked up a couple Garant Swiss-made 0.3×2.0 slotted drivers today. No other sizes available, sadly. They look like PB Swiss to me.

Do you need a vise? Plan to flip? Or just want to rehab a vise? Personally, since it is missing the swivel base and all associated hardware, the collar, and front jaw is FUBAR, I would pass. There is a reason it has been for sale for months, it's a parts vise.

Picked this up off marketplace today. Did a quick search didn't see much in the way of Channellock signage. Channellock Authorized Distributor sign. Made of blue plastic w/ red insert and gold lettering, approx. 9.75" tall × 7.75" wide. In very nice shape, just a few scratches, mostly on the...

Where are you looking for the kit number?

The 'C' stands for China

Solid pins are installed and bent down onto the nut to hold it in place. If you just stick a roll pin or a screw in the hole, the nut will be able to move back and forth, adding slop to the vise.

You need to go back and get that!

There was a post about this years ago I seem to recall reading, that there were minor differences in the 2. I love Wright tools but they don't offer a long 1/4" ratchet; there was a Matco variant. They aren't common but pop up on eBay from time to time, and always got bid up fairly high back...

That one just has the wing nut and washer. It should have a swivel base like this photo.

It can be yours for the low price of $800, and 4" jaws I believe. Swivel base missing?

I'm going to guess import Wright clone.

Yes indeed, i have a few P&W machinist tools. They are all identical to Lufkin. The machinist tools sold to p&w, i dont think they made them very long. And the tapes, folding rules, etc and the name got picked up by cooper.

I love vintage stuff BUT i have a blem PEC 4" double square that i got new for something silly like $14. There was a marking on the blade that looked to be gently pencil ground off. I ran a fine stone over it, no burrs. Slides nice and yeah the chrome is brighter than old stuff, even nos stuff...

Been wanting to try one for a while now, kept forgetting. Impulse purchase at hd while there to get something else.

At least Starrett and Lufkin have been offering plain and satin chrome rules since the 50s, maybe earlier. I prefer Lufkin's chrome but Starrett is not bad. My Pratt & Whitney 24" combo blade is satin chrome.

Keep in mind, you are asking this question on a forum where most people rave about the free HF tape measures. Lol

I have never heard anyone ever say that Beach made Kennedy tool boxes. Kennedy did make some for Craftsman.

The 2 drawer...if the drawers are plastic, it is a tackle box. I had one, it moved down the road.

I've had a couple experiences on eBay where I've not gotten the item pictured. Always a hand tool. Always from a pawn with an eBay store. One time I hit BIN on a nice older Mac 24" 1/2 breaker bar with knurled grip. What arrived was a nice modern Mac 24" 1/2 breaker with the trilobe grip...
