Armstrong tool find

[gtrotter]

Went to the pawnshop, and saw this Armstrong box. Checked it out, didn't really need it. I bought it anyway. I guess I am addicted.

The set had two breaker bars, ratchet, 4 extensions, 1/2 to 3/8 adapter, lots of standard stuff in deep and shallow. Also had metric stuff up through 36 mm. Standard was through 1&1/4. BTW, this is all 1/2 drive stuff.

What's it worth?

I want to know if the pawn shop boned me or not.

Well a new 25 piece 1/2 drive set is about 300 or so bucks, so im guessing about 150-200 would be a good used price for what you have in the pic.

BTW, i freaking love the way their ratchets look. Next on my list!

Neon's price is spot on. Grainger has that set, but the metric may have been added after the fact. Good score.

Cool Cool...There are 64 pieces in all, not including the box or socket rails and organizers. I gave 160 out the door, so I don't feel too bad then.

Umm...I want that.

The thing with Armstrong, I like the those ratchets. The breaker bars as pretty as they are, have the same drive end as a craftsman. The sockets and extensions are identical to craftsman sockets. I have a 1/4" set, the ratchet is the only worth anything. I hate to say it, $50 is my top price on that set.

I think that's a pretty fair price.

Yeah I'd say you came out okay on that.

160 is a damn good price.

I just got the 3/8 ratchet last week and traded it less than 5 mins later because it needed a rebuild and I got a tool a friend had been looking for in exchange.

A few days later I bought the 1/2 ratchet and breaker bar in a big lot of tools and I have traded and sold a lot of the rest of them (mostly craftsman stuff I have tons of) and I am keeping the breaker bar and ratchet. I like them better than the Snapon ones they will replacing.
