I am a bit of a collector of J.H. Williams DUOHEX-BOX wrenches and their successors until about 1954. If you have any you don't need or want I am interested in buying them if they are numbers I don't have (and there are a lot of those!). Thanks, DJ

I have been away for a couple of years and forgotten the ins and outs of posting. This message is just to let everyone know that I no longer live in the PRC but now live in Miami, Oklahoma! Been here about 9 months.

I have some early MAC 6 point flex head wrenches and would like to fill in the set. I need a 15 mm and 16 mm. These have Sabind Ohio stamped on them. They are combo, of course, with open ends at one end. Also, does anyone know if they were made in sizes smaller than 10 mm hex? Bigger than...

Here is my S-K tool collection (note, not including a WWII era set listed separately); There are two empty S-K boxes one is marked S-K Wayne, 8 1/2" x 3 1/2", the other marked SK, 7" x 3"; a 1/2" drive speed handle # 40181, 2 # 40161 4" long 1/2" drive extensions, 6 of the 1/2" drive shallow 12...

I just finished cleaning up a bit a tool I want to sell but I don't know how long that will take. Contemplating the return of that old devil, rust, I thought of using a food gadget I got some years ago; a vacuum machine. If you don't eat all your dinner you can vacuum it and freeze it and have...

I have a Sunnen TN-111 rod checker I would like to refurbish and even possibly repaint! Does anyone know what the Sunnen red color is? I am also going to try some Evaporust on the precision surfaces. If it works as well as I hope it does I will be thrilled!

J. H. Williams Superrenches from the mid '30s to mid '50s. double box end wrenches There is also the single offset 8100 series. No longer need WWII S-K. David J.

It is interesting to me to follow AA on tool dates and to fit a few JHWs I have into the date formats. I have run across kind of a puzzler, if I remember correctly AA has JHW round shank box end wrenches giving way to oval shanks in about 1940. Various posts about various toolmakers have...

Wanted series 8100 J.H. Williams Duohex Box wrenches. Numbers may include 8124 (not sure it exists but it may), 8132, 8136, 8140, 8144. Let me know! These are all round shank wrenches, made from 1930 or so until perhaps 1945. Other 8100 series wrenches seriously considered. I am also...

I am going through old tools I have which may or may not be worth keeping. I would like to post some photos and get expert opinions. Thanks guys, in advance. I'll send more photos in a bit.

I thought there was a thread about European tools but I can't find it; so here a couple of fun items. The first is a small level; turns out these are not particularly scarce of valuable but it is kind of fun to see that there must have been some hand work in its manufacture. The second item is...

Here are some tools I can't identify. It is possible I asked about the little sort of pliers before, I think it says Lodi on them somewhere. As they are stamped steel they seem kind of cheesy, but maybe they are for some special application. I have no idea about the second thing, I could...

I would like to complete my SK 3/4" drive vintage socket set. The pieces I need are: 1", 1 3/16", 1 1/2", 1 9/16" to fill out my set. Photo shows what I have now and would like to find matching pieces. Thanks, David Jackson

I am always on the lookout for early Williams "duohex" "superrench" double box wrenches, I especially like short offset box end ones like the ones in the photo and somewhat longer ones as well.

Would like to find a Snap-On middle box KR547 somewhere near me, No Calif. Woudl like to find a Cornwell angle wrench AW2828. Would like to find Proto 1/2" drive sockets 5412, 5416, 5420, 5424 and 5426. 2 lines and chrome finish not new though.

I would imagine this question has been asked and answered over the years so please forgive me for asking it again. I am wondering how much value is lost when a previous owner has scribed his or her initials on a tool, ground a bit off for identification, etc. etc. I used to be a pistol...

If this is a duplicate post I apologize, after closing the preview the thread disappeared! Anyway I wonder who made these three wrenches, two OE and one S style. The OEs could have been part of a tool kit which came with a car, tractor, etc.? That's just a wild guess as the letters and spacing...

I have a few of the 7/16" drive Blackhawk sockets which may be a cheaper version or something. The numbers on them are 35xxx instead of 4xxxx and the 4xxx ones I have seen photos of seem much shinier than mine. Are these some sort of industrial variety or bargain basement variety? Just...

I have a neat old Albertson (Souix) 1/2" drill motor and stand; kind of a poor man's drill press I guess; could be from the late 1930s or sometime in the 1940s, I don't really know. It was made when Souix tools were Albertson. I don't know how much shipping would be, this is a big, heavy...
