Looks like the holder says Sears- that would be my bet.

Yeah that Walden set is gonna go high unfortunately. When I bid I had to bid 100.00 and that didn't last long as I'm not high bidder anymore. There's a bunch more time left too. Every1 needs that driver! Lmfao!!!

I’m tempted buy those Plomb universals even though I absolutely don’t need them.
These aren’t a super bargain but I’ve never seen a NOS version of these well made tools. four.cycle and I both have some of these sets but none are new.

^ I have two or three of those PM21 sets here somewhere. One of them is in pretty cherry condition, but nothing like that!
I would not have imagined they'd ever be worth that much, but we'll see what happens. I am astounded by some of the selling prices I am seeing recently.

^ it's an incredibly nice set. I own one. I was looking to get another for my buddy, but he'll have to come down a bit on the price or the shipping for me to go for it.

(TEKTON apparently did an upgrade on that particular set and added the 6.3mm socket - the part number is SKT05301-S)

I keep a good supply of repair kits for the round head Facom/USAG/Proto/Mac/etc ratchets. The master kits are on sale and the tube of grease that comes with these will last you many years. The round head ratchets will tend to stick or slip when the grease dries out from lack of use. These will often come back to life (without taking them apart) with a little penetrating oil around the head and rotating the drive in both directions. If you need to take them apart, here's the simple directions.


I think this set of Napa wrenches is a decent deal if the sizes are what you want. Quality tools for not much.

The seller has a regular online store too (with more stuff for decent prices), and shipping on 2 sets was !.50 cheaper than eBay ... yes, $1.50 isn't much, but it's something.

Got 2 sets, one for each kid. Probably should have got a 3rd set for the car too, but only just realized that now.

It's showing only 5 left, but I wrote cripe, and she said they have plenty of them in stock.

Those look pretty nicely made. Is Bachert a good name? I don't think I ever heard of them.

they appear to be decently made. price is right for that many sizes.

(* did I mention that Caterpillar tools are made by Snap-on? * )
(* every once in a while a deal like this comes along. my Caterpillar-branded Snap-on 1/4" drive ratchet set me back a whole nine dollars. *)

YMMV

* flare nut wrench *

over and over and over I see "flare nut wrench" threads and discussions/arguments about whose is better.
I try to stay out of the fray, but when I see what some of the guys here are paying for these things I want to cry.
I've owned my Indestro flare nut wrenches for about 50 years or so. I don't work in a steam plant, and I'm not in the rust belt, but so far they seem to be holding up nicely. They've got to be at least as good as anything S-K cranked out. Maybe better.
Can't beat the price on these, though:

Duro/Indestro 3-pc SAE flare nut wrench set
3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, and 13/16
brand new
$20.00 incl. shipping OBO "buy now"
(* I've only done maybe two or three transactions with this seller but didn't have any problems. *)

The choice is obviously by the seller. Personally, I don't care as long as customer pays the postage costs.

I've had those Duro/Indestro flare wrenches in my watch list for years (or at least it seems). I've always wanted to buy them, but just have not. They are not fast movers, or they had lots of them. lol

If they are metric, I may be a bit adventurous. SAE flare nut wrenches are really useless. I guess that's why the deal goes on for ever

^ same seller has a black 8-inch and a black 10-inch Crescent adjustable listed @ $9.99 incl. shipping each, but I don't know if they were made in the U.S. or Taiwan or China or Mars.

Sent an inquiry to the seller of those black Crescent adjustable wrenches in the post just above asking about Country of Origin.
Answer coming back: "USA".
I remain somewhat skeptical, as the 4-inch model he is selling (see post #4958) is very clearly marked "U.S.A."
Again, I am not familiar enough with Crescent to be able to know for certain.

Caveat emptor and all that.

I'm hoping somebody here who knows the product better can weigh in here. BK
