Maybe mine isn't stacked leather. Not sure. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

I believe someone had mentioned to me that they made a screwdriver similar to this in school. Can't remember who at the moment. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

I got one very very similar to that a few weeks ago. Can't remember what thread I was asking about it on. Mine looks as if it's missing the top cap as well. Only difference is I believe mine has a brass piece where the shank meets the handle and mine is stacked leather and aluminum Sent from my...

My opinion of the quality of tools sold there aside. I still like going in there and looking around. Reminds me of the traveling tool sales that used to come to town when I was a kid. Pretty sure that was Homier tools. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

If I had seen those in Sears as a kid I think I would have bugged my Dad nonstop til he got them for me. Way cooler looking than the red and clear/blue and clear handled ones. Super nice find. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

Stop trying to scare him away from Erie by mentioning HF. Lol Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

It's about 30min down I-79 from Erie. Honestly have driven by the channellock factory hundreds of times and have never stopped. Couldn't tell ya if they have a tour or showroom. Same thing with Reed. It's literally less than 3 miles from my house and I've never stopped in and said Hi. Also the...

No cool tool stores in Erie, PA. But there's always some other fun stuff to do. Check out Presque Isle if you pass through. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

I've seen many of your tools across multiple threads and you always do a great job at cleaning them up. If you don't mind sharing what exactly is your process for cleaning them up? At the moment I just hit them with a dark green plastic wheel thingamajig that chucks in my corded drill. Cleans...

Picked one up myself a few weeks back at an estate sale because of this thread. Got the chance to try it out when I was taking a Sioux spade handle drill apart. Didn't need to use the extra handle but I do like that it's there If I need it. IMHO it got the job done and I liked using it. I can...

Nice finds. Definitely like the look of that pebbled ratchet. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

Looks like it's well built. They don't make them like that no more. Thing probably weighs a "ton". Super super cool. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

I like that box. Maybe it's all those handles...I dunno. Looks good. Nice find. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

In regards to removing the paint to find the date stamps on a few CMAN boxes I've had luck with cheap dollar store nail polish remover and the green 3M pads. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

Can't beat the price. I always look for cheap books at sales...never know what you will find. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

That's a sweet excelite set. Nice find! Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

Removed a bunch of red paint and found it right where you said it would be buried under a few coats of red paint Made in 62. Thanks again. Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

Yes I noticed someone painted it there is paint runs on the back. Figured no company would ever sell a product like that. I'll have to take some paint off which is no big deal its going to get fixed up. Thank you very very much. I really appreciate the hwlp Sent from my Alcatel_5044R using Tapatalk

So I've spent part of this morning searching for the date code and there isn't one. The craftsman logo that's on there was stuck on using double sided tape. There are two holes behind the tape. But I can't find any date codes on it at all. Any chance this might not be a cman? Sent from my...

Its like a $2000 dollar shed. I don't know the interest rate. What's a better deal spend 10-20-30k on a garage they may not have the Money for and get a loan for that. Then what? The heat bill needs paid. Or the kids get sick or he gets laid off or 1000 other things that could happen. But the...
