Old hex drive u joints and deep well sockets

Zrxrunner · Feb 16, 2020

Cane across these in a lot from an auction a few weeks ago. Cant find any references for who might have made these unique items. The socket pictured came connected to the joint its next to. Note the different style swivel mechs... one has square style, one more traditional. Only marking I can find on any of them is the 15-16 on the socket, which is the size. First thought was walden or duro, but cant find any matches.

The deep on the right looks to be early Blackhawk, Bog, or maybe Snap On. Those impact swivels are unique. I don't think they are from the same time period as the socket. I would put the socket at 20s-30s and the swivels much later.

Looking for the following Plomb Pebbles Wrench 3061

Did snap on have any hex drive tools tho? The socket is also a hex drive.

I missed that. I don't believe they did. I know BOG did.

The tools should be Hol-Set brand.

Good catch, 3bay.

Zrxrunner,
We've got a couple threads for Hol-Set here on GJ, too. The sets and the information here are a little more complete than AA. See the Index in the Sticky.

Good eye, guys! I have 3 trays full of random unmarked hex drive sockets I'll try n match up to the deep well to make the socket set complete. Havent seen a speeder like that one, but now I know what to look for. Unforunately... I come across more than a few pieces of old cut looking hex stock in the boxes I buy, so hoping that wasn't the fate of the speeder?
Hol-set explains the one universal that has the round mech, now I need to identify the square looking mech style.
Thanks, guys!!
