A local fella has this Wilton vise up for sale. But there're questions about what the base value is. We all know how that goes... Buyer wants to pay least possible and seller wants most for it possible. Short of it is, what do you guys think?

Very professional, lightning fast shipping, great packaging and low price. Makes buying a trustworthy experience. (I cannot find an existing thread to shove this into and I got tired of looking for it.)

This puppy's been abused. Whoever owned it used the back end as an anvil. -Curses- 100 or more years old, Prentiss Bulldog #53 Vise. The pictures in THIS post are the condition it was in when I got it home. Post number two shows current condition- I plan on continuing to remove rust. Will be...

I know that the Plomb Wright Field wf-20 was a 3/8 breaker that had a female broach in the handle. What other breakers sport this feature? I understand it was fairly common back in the day. Is there a Plomb 1/2 drive that had this, as well? Any help appreciated.

I recently bought a Plomb 4010 Heavy Duty Puller set. This came in the box; 4019. I've included pictures. You can see that the 4019 looks like it's 68 years old or something. I've tossed the idea of restoration around in my head but let me be clear: Me=novice. I've never once attempted a toolbox...

These were the YELLOW painted Proto industrials. Not My set, originally... What this guy did was he wire brushed all the yellow paint off since he found it ugly. Low and behold, he found they rusted sitting in a bucket in his garage (Kick him into the bucket...) So, he wire brushed them again...

Straight up guy. Takes good care of his customer and shipped very quickly. Highly recommend.

If you look at this website, you can see an image of the retaining ring in question - It is marked as C-S ( double angle): http://www.smalley.com/retaining_rings/snap_rings.asp Any suggestions on how to remove this kind of internal retaining ring?

Fleet - Universal 1/2 drive $4 Fleet - 9/16 socket 1/2 drive $2 Both in very nice shape with no owner markings. I also have a Maxam 3/8 drive ratchet $5 and a Fairmont 1/2 drive ratchet$7 (These two ratchets are currently ON HOLD.) if anyone's interested. Didn't feel like starting two new...

Without the "j" in front of the number.;)

I have a Plomb 5468 in which the inner indent ball spring has thoroughly deteriorated. I thought about drilling a small hole in the shaft and then compressing a new spring and inserting it sideways into the hole, so it would decompress once in its seat and press the indent ball back out. Not so...

I "scored" a 1947 Plomb 5449 recently but the cam selector is a bit worn- it shows slight slippage. It's not out yet but will be soon... And I don't want to be annoyed by it when I need (translation: Want to play with new toy) the ratchet for a very important job (Translation: Working on the '63...

Looking for the following: Plomb 4010 Plomb 4020 Plomb 4070 Plomb 4056 Plomb 4001J (Standard 6" leg for the 4001 set)

Snagged some goodies at garage sales today... But the icing was a 1907-1985 75th Anniversary Proto (Plomb) socket set deep well and shallow metric sockets with 5249 3/8 drive ratchet. One Spark Plug socket is missing from the set. I paid $10 for it. Maybe some here can tell me more about this...

That's one high priority item on my wish list. The B-55 ratchet adapter. Later model preferred (Unusual for me.) But since I started a thread, I figure I'll post a chunk of my wish list here. Some are higher priority than others. Preferences are for 1900 (Where applicable) - 1941 ++Take a break...

Sorry if this is in the wrong location; already been covered... The search function wasn't helpful because there's too many common words. I'm looking for information on the 1931 Indestro ratchet adapter: "Indestro "Chromium Vanadium" 1/2-Drive Ratchet Adapter" Those of you familiar with the...
