Bought this little pile at a local Restore today - 8 Herbrand tappet wrenches and an offset DBE, a Bonney Zenel, a Craftsman Vanadium deep offset, an FSP/Vacuum Grip cutter, and a Husky CM64 spinner/extension. The cutter is pretty badly rusted :( .

At least I'm in good company...😬

Ah yes, so it is. I'm very easily confused. Thanks for unconfusing me.

I saw this catalog page, and thought it not relevant because of the number "2001" but failed to notice the "1002" further down on the page. A typo? It does appear this is the pair I have, and as I suspected, 1930s or early '40s. Thanks, LesserSon!

Yes - there are several 1000-10s for sale on eBay. There's even a 1002-10 that appears identical to mine, though the pics are few and not good quality. Odd that the 1002 doesn't show up in the available catalogs...

Thanks, four.cycle. They are mentioned on Alloy Artifacts. In the section devoted to Utica's production for other retailers, there's an image of a Ward's Lakeside version of this one. They say the model 1002s were made in the '30s and '40s. Mine appears older - no 3-diamonds stamp and a simple...

I found this old beast a couple of days ago; can't figure out when it was made. It's in great shape - no damage or modifications. Not many mentions of this model number to be found, and no mentions from the readily-viewed catalogs. It doesn't have any three-diamonds or three chain links or any...

I picked up these two beauties at my favorite flea mkt yesterday. 1/2" drive, a 6" and a 4", nice condition. Some serious knurling... I believe these are from the 1940s.

Interesting day at the flea market... A Blackhawk 49996 1/2" drive ratchet in working condition! A Mayhew 30200 mason's chisel A mystery screwdriver (which I thought might be a Mayhew at first), stamped with a "5" and "Beta-Garantie" - upon further review (after a little clean-up) - the...

Thanks, genog & Lesser Son! I much appreciate you digging through your S-K stuff to look for these! I'm getting the part numbers I cited from SK-Wayne catalog 90118 (1968). (Internet Archive) I'm trying to build up "Starter Set No. 4512", a very basic 3/8" drive set. I have the box, all the...

Thank you! I have some SK to trade - not a lot, but maybe a piece you need. Ya never know...

I feel your pain - so many iterations o_O! I keep a list (with pics) on my phone of the current project gap-fillers I need. Quite handy. BTW, got any extra SK Wayne stuff? I need a 45116 1/2" shallow 6-point 3/8" drive socket and a 4426 spark plug socket.

I just acquired this Craftsman 43185 patent pending QR 1/4" ratchet. It's got some broken teeth on the gear, and the ball detent is kaput. All the other bits are okay, and the ratchet body is nice and clean. Anybody out there have a beat-up organ donor, or a gear in your spares box? Can buy or...

Here's a lovely pair of Dunlap-branded pliers I found recently. I associate this style with Utica, but I think other makers produced similar items. The handles on this one are wider than the similar Uticas that I have. The "nested diamond" handle pattern says "Craftsman" to me. There appears to...

I've tried that method (arm movement accompanied by some choice bad words) with no success so far. Those little pins don't have a lot of mass to accelerate.

Looking good!

I persuaded my dentist to give me some tiny diamond burrs that they considered worn-out. I use them (in a Dremel tool) to remove the little dimples that keep the screw from coming out. The burrs are small enough to not do any collateral damage. Almost always successful. The frustrating thing is...

I'm no authority on these - don't know what more knowledgeable folks would shell out, but I paid $30.00 for it.

I just picked up this set - complete and in great shape. I'm kinda shocked. Not cheap, but not too bad.
