I throw all the Chi-**** in a plastic tote when I buy toolboxes. Posted the FULL tote on CL for free to the first person to arrive at my shop this morning. Three "gents" arrived simultaneously.......there was tackling involved. Next time that tote is full I'm definitely setting up a camera...

Well, Horse was supposed to meet me at the flea but got pulled into mulch spreader for the day. Here's what I scored for $100. Snappy set #111B all dated 1927, missing a single piece, the 3/4 hex 6pt. socket. Figures, I sent all my old Snappy sockets to Snapmom! Anyone able to help? Too...

Folks, I updated my original thread, but it's over in the General Tool area and I think it's much more appropriate over here. Perhaps some of you folks out west can help me complete this display by the end of the summer. That is my goal! I have plenty to trade and have included pictures of...

Most of us know that Snap-On owns the Bonney Trademark. Many of us also have wondered why? Why don't they bring Bonney wrenches back? Well, while conducting research this morning I found the attached picture in the record trail for the original Bonney trademark. Here is the link to the...

Pulled into the cold flea this weekend and almost kept on driving. But, given its an hour away, I though obligated to at least look at the 5 or so vendor's wares. Grabbed this for $10 and added the breaker to complete the set back at the shop. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

I have a couple of these Cordomatics and thought I'd clean them up and get them hung. I took it completely apart and cleaned / greased it, then tried to tackle the outside. I couldn't get anything to bring it back, not purple power, multiple degreasers, hell, I even tried very light buffing...

I performed a search, both via Google (site specific) and using the wonderful search function here but did not see a thread dedicated to tiny tools. Post up your tiny tool collections consisting of tiny ignition sets / tools, ignition pliers, tiny screwdrivers, etc. I'll start it off with some...

My apologies to everyone for the site being down. I simply attempted to create a new type of page and the entire site went TU. I had to recover the entire site from a 10/1/2016 backup so if you uploaded any tools or anything else between then and now, I'm sorry to say it's lost. I know I...

Can't figure out who made this old brace socket. Jog any memories? Bridgeport??

Any ideas on who made / branded this?

I found these vise grips last weekend at the flea and the "bullet" adjuster prompted me to pick them up for $1. I found an advertisement from Popular Science in November of 1946 identifying the WM Truman Tool Co. as the maker / vendor but NOTHING else on the company. I did find a law suit...

I've searched the vintage area (as best as can be done on here) but I don't find a thread dedicated to vintage ratchets. So, here it is. I'm going to try posting in brand groupings, at the rate of a brand per day. Comment and/or post up your ratchet collections! Today, I'll start off with...

I must admit, I have an affinity toward these Spintite nut drivers. This morning I was taking some pictures and uploading tools to my site. I came across a nut driver in the pile, obviously a Spintite. Upon closer examination however, I noticed it was stamped simply "Stevens Spintite #5."...

Thought I'd start a thread with today's pickups. SK Wayne 3/8 drive metric socket rail Cman 1/4 set Blue Point extractor set Partial wartime 1/4" drive snappy set 1/2 to 15/16 Bonney single offsets (9/16 bent) Proto LA 1/4 and 3/8 rats, old Duro female rat, and some wrenches...

This morning I was uploading some 9/32 drive tools to my site when I happened to notice just how similar the Williams and Armstrong drive tools are. AA mentions the similarity but carries it no further. Here are two tools I have in both brands; a straight driver and a hinge handle breaker...

We have a DOE thread, and a DBE thread. Let's show some love for the Combos! I'll start off with my users: 1. Toptul Satin Combos 2. Toptul Chrome Combos 3. (my favs) Toptul Long Pattern Satin Combos 4. Wera Jokers (love these too)

Soliciting thoughts on the "0" stamp on these wrenches. At first I thought perhaps they were simply owners' marks but member Chopper then owned up to having a couple as well which are shown courtesy of Chopper in the last pic. This style model number (B-###) is noted in the '49 MAC catalog but...

Haven't seen circle T. Anyone recognize the pipe wrench style? Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

The December 18, 1919 Edition of Iron Age, announces the formation of the Cornwell Tools Co. in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. We have found this same announcement as early as September, 1919 in other publications. Officers noted in the announcement are: B. L. Coleman - President Eugene...
