The seller's reviews have been favorable and is reportedly using the proceeds from these sales towards grad school. I bet he will wonder what happed as he has sold more of them yesterday and today than any days in the last year!

Thanks for the lead Gamp945!

He has them available in brass as well:

This will add some bling to the wall behind the bench.

Did you see this?


I have a ratchet just like this - not sure the brand (well worn).
Very handy, nice reliable tool.

Did you guys notice that you automatically get free shipping if you add over $25 in your cart? I was trying to hit $25 and I ended up closer to $50 :oops:

Glad you all found the link helpful :) Look like he got a major boost in sales!

I considered the brass one, but since I'm not a machinist, I couldn't figure out what the advantage of brass over stainless might be. Brass tarnishes, so I went for stainless.

Looking at the "new tools" thread causes me to think we have some members who are paying more for ratchets than is necessary, so I'm going to post these again.

AMERICAN FORGE 3915 3/8" drive RHFT flex-head ratchet
(* this is a Kilness-patent (New Britain) design, manufactured by New Britain after they were acquired by Litton Industries in 1972)
brand new
$37.99 incl. shipping "buy now"

INDESTRO 2875A 1/4" drive RHFT (60-tooth) ratchet (OAL 4-15/16")
brand new
$15.99 incl. shipping "buy now"

CHALLENGER 1/2" drive RHFT flex-head ratchet (US made prior to SBD outsourcing stuff from Asia)
brand new
$39.99 incl. shipping "buy now"

INDESTRO 2775A 3/8" drive RHFT (60-tooth) ratchet
brand new
$19.99 incl. shipping "buy now"

THORSEN 21010 10-piece 3/8" drive METRIC socket set w/blow-mold box
brand new
The RATCHET is a Kilness-patent unit most likely manufactured by National Hand Tool in Dallas, Texas. (compare to CB45 New Britain)
The only difference I can see is that this Thorsen unit isn't polished - it has more of a matte finish.
The paltry offering of sockets includes: 8 10 11 12 13 14 and 17mm along with a 3-inch extension. The ratchet alone is worth the price of admission.
$17.99 incl. shipping "buy now"

NEW BRITAIN 637 3-piece "Tune Up Kit" with 3/8" drive RHFT Kilness-patent ratchet, S.P. socket, and short extension
brand new
$24.99 incl. shipping "buy now"

AMERICAN FORGE 600 19-pc 1/4" & 3/8" drive SAE socket set with 3/8" drive RHFT Kilness-patent ratchet, sockets, and wall rack
brand new
$19.99 incl. shipping "buy now"

That's too bad. Mine was flat-packed in a rigid cardboard, and the ruler itself is a decent gauge steel. Seems like it would take quite a bit of abuse to damage it. But USPS can impress in that regard sometimes :p

I had great results. Bought 4 total and all came in great condition. Double cardboard made a stiff package

Very happy. Did not see any damage on the supposedly blemished ones either. Contemplating getting a few more for future needs

I was happy with my delivery as well. Mine was packaged very nicely with each ruler sleeved in plastic bag. To me, the etching is impressive. Much nicer than the other shop rulers I have. The stainless ones were delivered in perfect condition, and the brass ones had just a little tarnish starting, but I would expect it after sitting for 20 years. Thanks again Gamp!

Part of this is "hot deal". The other part isn't so "hot".

My buddy came over yesterday to R&R the water pump on my Ranger and take care of a couple other things.
I gave him the little Indestro ratchet and the tiny little Tekton 1/4" drive stubby ratchet and the Icon Pliers Wrench and a few other widgets.
He was ogling my Wilde 10-inch "flush fastener" slip-joints.
I asked "Didn't I give you a pair of those?"
He said "No, the ones you gave me were 8-inchers."

So this morning I went looking for some pliers:

I ordered him the Wilde 10-inch "flush fastener" slip-joints for $27.97 incl. shipping

The other ones he was looking at were larger tongue-and-groove angle-jaw models I have - mine are mostly Indestro - so I looked for the best deals on the best models available.

The best deals are not on Ebay:

Wilde 10-inch groove-joint angle-jaw pliers (plain steel handles)
brand new
$10.00 + shipping

Wilde 10-inch groove-joint angle-jaw pliers (black vinyl handles)
brand new
$10.00 + shipping

Wilde 12-3/4" groove-joint angle-jaw ("Pipe Wrench") pliers (red vinyl handles)
brand new
$12.00 + shipping

* I'm going to wait until tomorrow morning to order the groove-joints from Epstein, because I want to see if they have any of those 10-inch models with the coated handles available in any other colors... hopefully pink or purple... ;)

brand new
$3.00 + $5.65 shipping "buy now"
(2 left in stock 03/06/22 @ 10:53 PST)
I have several Tekton locking pliers, in various sizes. All have one thing in common: they are absolute garbage. Avoid these like the plague.

Watched the recent project farm review/test. Tekton is not impressive to say the least. same money is better spent in irwin, or possibly HF's Bremen.

I don’t know how much these will end up going for but this is a cool batch of Williams ratchets. The same seller has other ratchets for sale.

^ jsmeece is referring to this 8-piece metric "stubby" offset double-end box wrench set:

DURO/INDESTRO 84296 8-pc METRIC "stubby" 45° offset double-end box wrench set w/vinyl roll-up

These were made for a military contract. Manufactured by at least three different companies that I know of: Duro-Indestro, S-K, and ProAmerica. Prices on them have ranged from a low of $12.00 (for the ProAmerica set about five years ago) up to well over $125 for the S-K set. $46 for this set is pretty good. I've got two sets of the Duro-Indestro (one for me and one for the boy) and they're both very nice.

Somebody in another thread was asking about U.S. made adjustable wrenches. I came across a seller who's got a few. I've dealt with him before - I think he gave me 20% off on some "OBO" items. YMMV.

Thanks for the information four.cycle. I don't have any indestro tools, but my father-in-law, now deceased, has plenty still in his garage locked away. Mother-in-law hasn't decided what to do with all of his stuff yet.
