Put a little shelf/tray under that stool and it would make a comfy shop scoot.

Exam stool is cooooool!

Thanks Nine-Fo! This sale was basically an open door to a stuff filled garage, nothing sorted or priced. That was the first thing that caught my eye, so I grabbed it and carried around while I did the rest of my 'shopping'! BTW, your work is very inspiring.

Thanks Jake, I can see you're a thinking man! I got a buddy with brake, I'll have to see if he'll bend me up sumpin'. Prolly a twelver of his favorite brew will git r done!

I drove out to an estate sale in New Braunfels Saturday, about half an hour, to check out one item they had listed. I got there early and waited for two hours. It turns out they checked the internet for the price on a Blackhawk bantam Porto-o-power box. It was a bit rough, and they wanted $250, which was out of my budget, especially since I don't need it.

Nice haul!

Bantam boxes aren't cheap. Even in rough shape this might be a good deal.

Its says its a Brink & Cotton made by the Wilton Group. Its a $45 vise on Amazon so I'm happy with it regardless of make.

]Long time lurker, second posting. Not a purchase so much as a find. Found it on the side of the road while digging out my mother in laws car from the snow over the winter. Any advice on restoration/cleaning?

 

[jakemac]

If you just want a "used but functional" look, then give it a light wire wheel treatment and keep it oiled to prevent return rust.

If you want to make it "shiny like new", then soak it in vinegar, EvapoRust, molasses, or CLR for a day or two, wire brush it, polish it, and keep it oiled.

Welcome to the forum

 

[Bobcat753]

Bobcat, that's some pretty nice Proto pieces.

??is that 1/4" open gear ratchet a Proto? If so I've never seen one.

 

[zkling]

Bobcat, looks like your grandpa had very good taste in tools. Sorry for your loss, hope they bring you good memories in use.

This ratchet is a very good ratchet. It is my go to ratchet above all others!! Nice to see tools with some sentimental value!! Good finds! Love the plvmb and proto!

 

[Smokeshow69]

Yes it is a proto!

I have one of these that is a p&c. Probably exact same ratchet just differently badged (same company).

 

[drivesitfar]

Bobcat: i thought you were first in the door at an estate sale and grabbed everything. sorry to hear it was your Gramps and glad to see the tools have another good home to reside in. you Gramps must have been pretty handy because those tools have some nice patina on them.

Yea he was a plumber that worked every where. He also worked on many old cars in his time. I'm glad I could get to them before someone else could.

There was also a 3/8 thorsen that was similar to the proto.
