On the left is a K-D 3/8 drive 12-pt 18mm very low profile socket. It has no part number. Markings consist of "18mm K-D USA". For comparison, on the right is an 18mm sample of the often recommended Koken Z-series low profiles. ANY idea what the part number for a complete set of the K-D's...

I grew up calling these "Engineer's Wrenches". I've come to realize that some here reserve that name for DOE's. If you have time to chime in with pictures of yours, let me know what YOU call them! I grab 'em when I can, unless they're a duplicate of what I've already got. Here's mine...

The place: Live in PNW, way more Sasquatches than Cornwell trucks. The situation: Wanted a WBWMLOHP7ST set for years. The attempts: Three times in five years filled out the contact me thing on website, and got……..Nothing. The mirage: Driving in small town Texas. OMG a Cornwell truck! He has a...

i found this place that ocassionally has Knipex insulated tools at 5% to 8% of retail. Random oddball singles. Now I need an insulated 22mm open end wrench like I need a pet alligator. But I’ve got one, and a 19, and a 24, and..............................

The one business end is pretty normal, pry / nail puller. The other end....has a pointed hook instead of a claw, apparently left fairly soft haha, and a ....wait for it.......welded on fulcrum! What the heck is this thing?

I just picked up a set, can anyone tell me when these were made, or better yet link up a catalog or flyer???? Thanks!

Is anybody else abnormally excited to trade money for new steel that looks and works like old steel? I can't wait to fondle mine.

When I watch an auto mechanic do his thing in a non-marring way, it’s with a plastic deadblow. When I watch a tire guy do his thing in a non-marring way, it’s with a rubber mallet. When I watch a machinist do his thing in a non-marring way, it’s with brass, copper, lead, or rawhide. Why the...

Watching this forum, and the annual Garage Sale threads over the years, I've become fascinated with the regional differences in brand "density". I collect vintage tools in Idaho. Based on what I see on the forum: I think I see WAY more Thorsen and P&C than average. I think I see more...

I've got three vintage-ish slide hammers, and only a couple of attachments. I'd like to get some more pullers and such, but each of my hammers has different threads. I've got: New Britain with 1/2-13 threads Pratt & Whitney with 3/4-10 threads No-name with 5/8-18 threads I know adapters are...

There are some nice tool boards on ebay misspelled as Vichek....

What is the story on that one Walden 1460 wrench that seems to be everywhere? I run into Walden infrequently. In my neck of the woods, that means slightly more than Herbrand and Indestro and a bit less than Barcalo and Vlchek.:) I have over the years picked up a handful of sockets, a 3/8...

Just bought two NOS in package 1/4" KD ratchets from 1994. Both are nonfunctional due to the spring having fatigued out. If I send them in will they do anything for me?

Working on a new project, it's a roll cab well worth restoring. Somebody welded a slab of diamond plate on the top, but I've already got that cut off and some butcher block on the way. It's a rebadged unit, and I've never heard of either party. It has a stamped logo "Advertising Metal Display...

My Grandfather was a school bus mechanic for over 30 years, from his return from WWII to retirement in the late 70's. He died in 1989. The vast majority of his tools are still in my Dad's possession, but I do have a few that are very special to me. He was a gigantic PROTO fan, but he also had...

Anybody use or have experience with these? Ran into a fire engine mechanic who is giddy-in-love with them. What I'm struggling with is the chemistry. How does the simple act of crimping the metal connector "activate" the sealant to then cure within 3 hours??

Where are square metric fasteners used? I just came across a GP socket set for square metric in larger sizes. I've gotten occasional use out of my 8 pt. SAE sockets, esp. on older furniture and my antique tractors, but where might I find a metric square anything???

Hi all. I just started a resto project on a Rock Island 851, it's in great shape minus the locknut and the taper pin for the swivel jaw. I'm comfortable fabricating the locknut assembly, but I don't know the first thing about taper pins. Can anyone help me out with the correct size? Maybe...
