I had a little luck this weekend: 8” Chevron adjustable wrench (I haven’t seen Chevron tools before) Crescent #50-8 linesman pliers a transfer punch set with stand (missing three of the smaller ones) General Hardware Mfg Co. Drill Tapping Index (57/60 = almost complete bit set) Brown & Sharpe...

I just picked up these small, medium and large hollow handle combination tools. The small one has sixteen bits and a rather unique mechanism (similar to bbbarracuda's) to hold them. I can twist the holder tight by hand or certainly by pliers. I believe the handle is some type of fruit wood. The...

Here are my Crescent screwdrivers so far: K406, K306, K403, K403 aluminum handle, K302, two folding screwdrivers (1 patent pending). I, like Don, love the wood handle ones, although the others are cool in their own right.

Here are a few of my recent Crescent additions. I’m still listening/learning from all of you.

We ran away to see some relatives and I was able to have a little July 4th weekend side-fun at a garage sale: Craftsman No. 506-51801 Vise Craftsman 3/8" Drive Flying V Ratchet Crescent Tool Co. Crestoloy 72-7 Nippers Snap-on F-4-D Ferret 3/8" Speed Driver ??? No-name 12" Twist Ratchet (any...

I thought I would post up my Indestro No. 35 1/2" drive hex socket set. It has seven sockets total, but five of them look original with the double star sides and unique numbering style (15-16, 7-8, 3-4, 5-8, 1-2). They are all 6-point with cove-cut detail (one photo shows another socket with a...

Stopped by a Memorial Day sale late and was fortunate to find this haul for $35: Vintage Proto Tools Flying Lady Ratchet Socket Tool Box; Snap-On Rethreading Set RTD-42 SAE Metric Tap Die Set; Huot Drill Index; Clamp-on table vise; Blackhawk 15" Flex-Head 49905 breaker bar; Snap-On 10" SL710...

I would like one please.

Just inherited this from my great grandfather. It is a cocobolo handle with all ten bits. The nickel plating is a little rough, but in general it is in very good condition. Based on the research from Boringgeoff above, I can not tell if it is a Type 1 or Type 4 set, not that it really...

Three stops this weekend yielded a fair number of additions for the shop: Milwaukee 1/2" Hammer Drill Vintage Reed Pipe Threader Set No. 2A Barcalo Buffalo Offset Double Box-end Wrench Vintage Proto Los Angeles #3055 Double Open-End Wrench Cal-Van Tools No. 422 Thread Restoring File Heller...

I didn't know I was a push drill / ratchet screwdriver collector too! Two stops this weekend for $23: Two home-made large iron shelf supports Goodell-Pratt Toolsmiths push drill Yankee North Bros No. 130A Yankee North Bros No. 41 Dunlap "1071" Ratchet Screwdriver Morse Twist Drill & M. Co...

Would any of you know anything about this style Big-baby Wilton 925 vise? I had never seen anything like it, although one just popped up on eBay. It has a 4" extension that I originally thought was just a user adaptation. The eBay one looks remarkably similar, although it is a different...

I posted this first on an older thread, but thought this one might get more views. I am working on restoring an older pair of cast shelves for one of my daughters. When I took off the many layers of paint, I came across the trademark or logos you see here. The first looks like a "Y and an M...

I have to admit I have been envious of others when they received the “You ****” accolade. Other compliments are good, but the You **** somehow brings a new level of pride, and I even received the coveted doublesuck award too! Thanks guys.

I am working on restoring an older pair of cast shelves for one of my daughters. When I took off the many layers of paint, I came across the trademark or logos you see here. The first looks like a "Y and an M with a candy cane in the middle". On the doves, there is a second trademark/logo...

This weekend, I picked up a few items at a garage sale. Although they need some clean-up, I thought it was not a bad haul for $25. 1) an early Columbian No. 503 1/2 Bench Vise 2) a vintage Stiletto hewing broad axe 3) a Clean Cut clover hatchet head with a great logo 4) an old PLUMB broad axe...

Beautiful AW. I think you caught it perfectly and thank-you for the detailed directions and link to the proper type of paper. I will do my best, but I may need a few practice sheets before I get it right!

Hi AW: I am restoring my Athol #023 1/2 vise. If you have time to work on the image/artwork, I would very much appreciate it. Here are a few photos from other vises that should give you a start. The decal is only about 2" diameter, if that makes a difference. Thanks AW.

Thanks Hoorn and Drives. I love the meatball versions as well.

Thanks Radar and Dr. Scott. Overall, after taking off the grime and paint from the jaws, the serrations are in pretty fair condition as well.
