    I need your help

    Picked these two sockets up today thinking they were S-K Chrome. When I get them home and look under magnification I see "Chrome Vanadium Steel". I think it's pretty clear they are made by S-K but I've never heard of this marking before. What's the story here? I've photographed them under...

    Snap On Impact Sockets

    I picked these up last weekend. I can't find any info about them on GJ or Collecting Snap On Are they hard to find as a set? They're 1/2" drive 7/16", 1/2", 9/16", 5/8". TYIA, Steve https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=723651&stc=1&d=1515452356

    Question for the Vise Guru's

    Here's a shot of the base of my Columbian C44 Vise. Are these markings a date code? If so, what say they? Thanks for your expertise. Steve https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=721871&stc=1&d=1515113579
