BD deserves a **** for that Unisaw.




This is a Staco L1010 (Variac) transformer.
In all fairness, I did stop & test it at work before I lugged it home…For Free + 12A fuse? that's a USUCK deal right there!


















Interesting.E-S Tools
What I’m seeing, someone on Reddit had said E-S is Emporium Specialties of Austin, PA, where they worked. He said the owner was Marvin Dupris. Come to find out Marvin M. Deupree (as it’s spelled) was the manager for 25 yrs, and died in 2012. Emporium Specialties Co. Inc. has a website, but no examples of their products. Seems they work with metals and a variety of products.Interesting.
"ES Tool" (for whom I have zero information) was a government contract supplier.
So far, I've identified their sources as S-K, Meteor, and Duro-Indestro - those open-ends are definitely Duro/Indestro made.
@ctuai - "Adlake" was "Adams and Westlake":
Adams & Westlake / Adams & Westlake Co., 320 W. Ohio St., (319 W. Ontario St.), Chicago, IL / "Adlake" / est. 1857 / patent 2040482 May 12 1936 Andrew T. Hagerty / https://www.madeinchicagomuseum.com/single-post/adams-and-westlake/ / see also Crerar Adams /














Kwality Kases was a re- brand made by Weddell and Boers in Detroit Michigan. https://sites.google.com/site/theguideforwoodmachinistchests/pg-100-wedell-boersI had a pretty good morning today. I saw an add for this estate sale last week and the pictures showed a bunch of tools and a machinist box. It was only 15 mins from me so I went early to hopefully get a good spot in line. It started at 9 and I got there at 8 and looks like I’m the only person there. Go to the door to see if there was a sign up sheet, nothing. I knocked on the door and the lady says come on in. I had the whole place to myself it was great. The box is a Kwality Kases leatherette. Never heard of them but it seems well made. So here’s what I got for $60 I will have some more pics of the contents tomorrow .
Leatherette loaded with stuff
Mac tight clearance hack saw
Herbrand J-10 3/8 ratchet
Craftsman BE 1/2” drive 1-1/8 socket
NOS SK 3/4 drive 1-1/16 socket
1/4” box with craftsman BE, snap on and misc sockets and BE extensions
Crusty bayonet no markings other than 250 on the scale
Collin’s axe head

Thanks for the info alinc100! I couldn’t find anything on it. I’m hoping I find the key when I go through it today. I have only checked out the big stuff. The lock is indeed an Eagle.Kwality Kases was a re- brand made by Weddell and Boers in Detroit Michigan. https://sites.google.com/site/theguideforwoodmachinistchests/pg-100-wedell-boers
Pretty good chance keys are available, if you hunt hard enough. I can't read the details on the lock face. Also look for a key number on the side or lower hasp. I'm thinking it's an Eagle Lock.
here is a link to my GJ post from 2018 when I found mine: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/2018-garage-sale-thread.379498/post-7160852
Don’t the anti-slip knuckles seem to be on the wrong side of the handle? I’d think you’d want more grip when it’s biting in, than when it’s slipping/ratcheting.Had a decent day at the HS Flea today. all interesting stuff if low on any volume:
A Haines, screw griping driver with a wood handle and an antique all wood, Wood screw clamp for $3:
Trying to swear off pipe wrenches but this was too cool to pass - a ratcheting pipe wrench; the ratchet also closes the jaws:

I have one missing the (patented) oblong table clamp pad (also missing main screw handle), bearing the same cast-in logo and model nunber on the sides, and it is a sweetheart.

Please do not count this towards 2026 - I acquired this in 2025. It just took me forever to clean the sockets (I still have a small set which I did not clean)
This is part 2 for above
