That's awesome, And a very merry Christmas ! Do we see a couple of HF 44's coming soon ?

O WOW mmw68 that is very nice find indeed ! The logo badge and wraparound looks new.

Thanks for your post 4xdog, very informative ! I have a mix of "phillips" screwdrivers and always noticed the ones that had the more blunt taper fit the fasteners better. I hadn't heard of the jis design until now. I also have the craftsman set you linked and love em !

( I like Kobalt better than the Craftsman they carry now ) Ditto SILVERPLATE ! Just about the time kobalt got really decent quality...enter chineese craftsman and practically pushed out the Kobalt tools. There ratchets were my favorite, very smooth and great feel and finish.

Hey NYBODYMAN, How about a pic of that offset swivel ratchet by the big yellow bucket. Nice haul, I could entertain myself for hours sorting n cleaning on all that.

Hey Bobby1168, if you haven't seen this thread yet you may want to have a look. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44782&page=4091 The vices of garage journal Its only about 4,100 pages

A very good find, Nice (junk) they left ! Also +1 on the you **** !

Yes, Awesome boards ! Those look like what we had in the auto mechanics class at our vocational school in high school.

Nice K Mart wrench pouch IMCA38 ! Amazing it hasn't split n torn after all these years.

K Mart was my favorite store also back in the 70's, couldn't afford much more than that. I have recently picked up a few pieces from the flea market. The Japan made tools were pretty decent quality. Notice the K wouldn't fit on the raised panel.

Just a couple of my Blackhawk finds...

Amen brother ! :thumbup:

Hey Nicholaus, Have you seen the Craftsman Drill press thread here ? Jack Lee gives a lot of info and tips there. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=227480 Yours is a newer model but he has a lot of info on craftsman drill presses. And welcome to Garage Journal !

Bessy, is the suburban in your avatar yours ? I like those old mowers.

The trick to that design to work properly is the wrench has to be at an almost perfect angle, if its off just a little it wont grip or it slips off the fastener. I have the craftsman set and like the longer length when I use the box end.

Does anybody know what size the wrenches go up to on the 270 pc Husky set SAE and Metric ?

I really liked the wooden cases they used to supply with the vintage machinist tools, Now days your lucky if you get a cardboard box.

Don't forget the Toilet Paper ! haha

Very nice, Do post up pics of the restore progress. And yes.... a big You **** is worthy here !

Looks to be good quality ! is it a nut setter or full broached depth ?
