Don't know what they're called but I've seen them on hot water heating system circulating pumps

Vintage is a relative term really, hell I have a customer that call his 1997 Softail an old bike, another ( like me ) that doesn't think of them as old till at least the mid 50's. But I'm assuming that this 70's stack will qualify. I only use it for specialty tools or tools not used everyday...

When I was around 15 or so I started buying my own tools, the auto parts store down the street sold Thorsen tools so that's what I bought. Acquired decent collection at the time but since 1970 this set is all I have left

Sorry for lousy phone pictures, but it's all I have at the shop. Still a few more pieces scattered around shop and road box, but this is the majority of them.

Keep mine in a drawer, either in the original roll, or sleeved in the appropriate size shrink tubing

I'm a motorcycle mechanic and over the years have used many different numbered Loctite products. These 2 are my current favorites, like the sticks much better than the bottles. Used to use a yellow Loctite ( can't remember the number ) but it needed a primer and an activator ). Was great for a...

Lay mine flat but separate them, one drawer hard hammers, another soft hammer and have a 3rd I didn't get a picture of just for BFH's

Majority of my DOE's. Love me some Williams Superrenchs

CDI, great bang for the buck

Little bit of everything. As mentioned I'd start my search with Ullman, almost everyone rebrands their stuff

The flexible one is a Motion Pro

Have a few Proto socket sets ( all 3/8" drive ) a couple 'clicker' adjustable wrenches and some wooden handle with the metal cap screwdrivers . Top shelf tools. Have around 45 socket sets, the majority being Snap On and Mac and have never even thought of replacing my Proto sets

It's for a 3/8" drive set

Majority of my DBE's most older Snap On, rest early 50's Blue Point. Really like the older round beam wrenches.

Your box is from 1955, that's what the 55 after the made in USA means. It would have looked like this, this picture is missing the ratchet and looks like and extention or two but will give you good idea of the original contents

Usually don't care which one I grab, they all get the job done

Sure do, getting old and eyes ain't what they used to be. Mostly use this little illuminated microscope, to read small drill bits, taps and the like

Had a shop years ago in Iowa and bought blue surgical towels from the local hospital, they were great. I'm back in new Jersey now and unfortunately can't find a hospital to sell them to me. If you can find a source they can't be beat

If I had to pick one I'd say my FK830, but each of these will usually do a particular task a little better than the other. In that case that's the one that's my favorite ( for that day anyway )

This thread cracks me up. I by Snap On tools because they're what I like. Same reason I only buy Carolina work boots, Bulova watches, Branded ( made in USA )Leather jackets and vests etc etc, because they're what I like and have proven themselves to last the longest. Never a thought of what will...
