Flip that grinder upside down. Date should be on the bottom. Best regards, John

Much appreciated. 5267 if I'm reading that correctly?

Well, I'll be danged. Since Proto makes up the majority of my user sets, it's fit right in. (y) Thanks, @bmwrd0

Here is an interesting 3/8 drive "flex" spinner I picked up on Saturday. Even after examination under magnification, I was unable to find markings of any type. Additionally, the handle shape/shade is not one with which I am familiar. The only literature in which I've seen flex spinners is the...

Alive and well, my friends! The small matter of completing a dissertation whilst working full time has somewhat slowed the scrounging this year... Although there have been a few recent noteworthy acquisitions that I'll get to reporting shortly. Happy holidays, All! Best regards, John

Looks like you've got a corner on the market, Don! Best regards, John

I found 2 4710-S (5/16 8 Point) sockets in the same bucket at a flea in Ohio last month... both War Finish. These two brought my total count of War Finish tools to 3 out of over 600 total Plvmb pieces. Best regards, John

I picked this the other day and can't find it in the catalogs. 1/2 drive, deep, 5/8(ish) service opening. Marked: R-2795 Proto (first line) Made in USA (second line) Thoughts? Best regards, John

Another exemplar of the Ridgid/Peddinghause type vices referenced above is the Italian made FZA... Unfortunately not available on this side of the pond. The only apparent differences between it and a Heuer appear to be the forge markings. My 150mm version came out of a diesel shop on the North...

Happy anniversary @LesserSon ! Additionally, Cook's Black Company material remains one of my top 5 favorites; I probably re-read the series every couple of years. Best regards, John

Nice box, Smoke... I'm still looking for my first Plomb/Plvmb chest. Best regards, John

P.S.&W. dividers whose legs suspiciously look like they have been either extended or broken and re-welded.
