You work in an air hangar?

It's hard to guess, some of those are more construction related, other automotive, others general purpose, then electronic, then machine shop, plus antiques.

Not one mention of harbor freight, pittsburgh, chicago.

Take that back, it CANT be an air hangar since there is no dotco, cleco, chicago pneumatic, sioux, cherry, or ingersoll rand.

Yes, personal collection. I did miss the Cleco - they are in the"sheetmetal" toolbox. I'm sure I missed some others, too. These are a 60 year accumulation, and yes, there are a few HF things around. As to puropse, name a trade and I've probably worked in it!

On edit - yes, there's IR also -(1/4 air ratchet) in still another toolbox I didn't look through for the names!

damn....if you only had a few tools to each brand name you'd already have as many tools as I have!!! Off the top of my head, I can only think of about 10 brands of tools in my shop. I'm sure there's more than that but nowhere near what you have listed.

Well done, sir!!

It's raining, so I'm cleaning & sorting in the garage. Updated the list, added these:

Airco
Advance Brush
American Diagnostics Corp.
Arrow
Bay State Abrasives
Bessey
Black & Decker
Brink & Cotton
Cincinnati Tool
Cleco
Dayton Electric
Eklund
Generico
Hansen
Hargrave
Huron
Ilco
Ingersoll Rand
K&D Superior
Kasco
Louisville
Lovejoy
Makita
Master Varitemp
New Hermes
North
Prestige
Proxxon
Shop-Vac
Skil
Smith
South Bend
Swanson
Vicor

Still have a couple boxes to go.

For those of you who like the old stuff:

When is your garage sale?

Ha! No garage sale, I learned a long time ago that once you sell something, you will later regret it.
And an update - more names:
Acesa
Bourn
Brubaker
Coil-Hose
Desco
Dormer
Gardner-Denver
Hunter
Hy-Pro
O.K. Industries
Oryx
OSG Mfg.
Reiff & Nestor
Ridgid
Sassner
S. W. Card
Ulman Devices
Union Card
Upson

And here's one I'll bet few have:

And a couple more today:
Berylco
Goss

Brings it to a grand total of 206 if I counted right. Sadly, many of these are no longer around.

And one more -
Malco.

Add one more - bought a Taiwan socket today.

Mintcraft.

And another -
PAR-X

Anyone keeping total?

This is more boring than watching paint dry.

If you run out and get just 3 more tools you could have one brand of each letter of the alphabet. You're missing Q, Y, & Z.

I've never been bored enough in my life to make a list of my tool's manufactures. Not in my nature. Thank you for doing it.

lg
no neat sig line

I pulled most of mine out of my ongoing inventory,effort. I did go through a couple of boxes that I have yet to inventory.

What no King ****?

Add Penncrest. Used to be found near the underwear department at J.C. Penneys.

Alchymist do you have a lot of Amp and Tyco crimpers? I am trying to crimp a pin on a milspec harness and the tool is insaaaaaaane. Maybe you have access to it and could provide details?
