If anyone has any of these wrenches, and is willing to part with them, please contact me. I've attached a picture of what I'm looking for.

I went to a sale at a warehouse that was originally a cabinet makers shop that had been sitting idle for quite a while. As to be expected, there was a lot of wood, old woodworking equipment, stains, thinners, and supplies. When the shop closed, it became a storage area for a man who sold...

I picked this up at an estate sale today for $125. Other than missing a badge on the lid of a top compartment, it's structurally sound and all original, it's a Model 2772-A. I posted this as a new thread rather than in the Garage Sale Thread to make it easier to find in a search, when I Googled...

I picked up a late 1940s-1950s Craftsman ratchet (reference Alloy Artifacts) at an estate sale recently and in the process of re-building it, saw that it needs two new flat head machine screws. This is a duplicate of another ratchet I have but this one isn't in as nice a shape as the other so...

Yesterday I went to an estate sale of a man who spent a number of years working on aircraft in the Air Force, there were both "USAF" marked tools and toolboxes. All tools not price marked (few were) went for $1 a piece regardless of size or type. Brands included Plomb, Proto, MAC, Snap-On...

This was on CNBCs website tonight: Stanley Black & Decker Shares of the toolmaker gained 2.43%. Stanley Black & Decker announced that it will shift manufacturing of Craftsmen wrenches from overseas to a new plant in Fort Worth, Texas, which explains the rally, Cramer said. That’s the power of...

I need the following: Box End Wrenches: 1135 1140 Open End Wrenches 3025 3040 3050 Thanks!

I don't have many, but I'd consider the scratch awl and the heavy duty diagonal cutters to be the hardest to find. I'd be interested in seeing what you have.

I decided to make this an original thread rather than include it in the Vintage Toolbox thread so that it would be easier to reference for those of us who collect vintage PROTO. I picked the toolbox up from a Craigslist Los Angeles ad for $20. Although it was listed along with 3 other...

I have two semi finished adjustables (704-S & 706-S) with a black finish & two (704-S & 706-S) with a bare metal finish. The two with a black finish are from 1956 (4") & 1951 (6") and the two with bare metal finish are both from 1950. According to a catalog from 1954 (p 17) it states...

I went to a garage sale today run by a guy who worked at the Stanley Tool plant here in Wichita Falls (TX) before it closed down. I picked up a ratchet (for $1) that was the size of a standard Proto 1/4 drive ratchet, but that had a 3/8 drive. I asked the man if this was a regular production...

I'm looking for Proto Los Angeles drive tools (mainly sockets, crowfoot, universals, & extensions) in 3/8 & 1/4" drive. I'm also looking for pliers.

I finally got around to taking some pictures of my ratchets. I've included a list of part numbers and approximate manufacturing dates (read from left to right). Enjoy! 1/4 Drive Snap On “E” (GM-70-M) – 1944 Williams “Superratchet” (M-51) – 1950s S-K “Diamond” Logo (40975) – Pre 1964 S-K...

For what it's worth, I just saw this posted on Marketwatch.com today, the link follows: Tools Although there are some credible savings on specific tool sets and tool storage items in Black Friday advertisements, there are bigger savings in late spring, particularly around Father’s Day in...

I have a brother who works the highway department in Los Angeles and routinely finds tools on the side of the road. Before he got tired of me cherry picking all his good ones, he used to let me go through his finds and take whatever I wanted. One of my picks was a MAC 1/4" drive Flex Head...

I picked up a 1/4" Craftsman ratchet today at a consignment store for $2. It was feeling a little sticky so I decided to take it apart, clean it up, and lube it. I couldn't figure out how to keep the check ball in place while inserting the pawl so I did a Google search which brought up a thread...

I'm trying to find a bit cage for my SO ratcheting screwdriver, I've searched the Snap On website and e-bay but can't seem to find one, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks
