We got this pallet in this morning full of NOS Bonney. These come in the original boxes, some of them are still wrapped in the original plastic. Most of these are sets but there is a good amount of open stock. We haven't dug into it yet, but the quantities are pretty small. 1 or 2 of each set. There is also some NOS Channellock pliers mixed in. It will take us a few days to get it organized but I will give you guys a heads up on when I plan to post it online.

I also wanted to ask you guys how you felt about old stock Channellock. Is it better than the stuff coming out today? This inventory is around 20 years old. They are either carded or come in the plastic tool pouches. Is this worth listing online or should I just put it in with our regular Channellock inventory?

List the NOS Channellock stuff by itself online. I bet you'll move more of it that way for people who are looking for NOS.

Just digging through the Bonney stuff and found one of these. Thought it was too cool not to share. Bonney/Utica 3/8 drive torque wrench.

I don't think there has been a change in the quality of Channellock products over the past 20 years, but I too still think you should list it separately as there may be some collector interest...

The torque wrench is way cool, but I want to see the socket sets...

Looking forward to it, Jori!

(Sorry for queering your deal, Steve.:))

I like the older stuff that comes with the pouches. Also, the older stuff has the name stamped, rather than current stuff has it laser scribed on. Further, the old stuff uses a nut and bolt to hold the two pieces together, where as current uses their permalock fastener. You might also have some of pliers that they no longer offer, like the 'mini champs' series.

:drool: I've put all other tool purchases on hold, and have tore up my Christmas wishlists in anticipation of Bonney becoming available.

Please put aside one each for me ... I can Paypal or send money order. Seems like I remember that you prefer check or money order.

Tell me, Bonnyvillians: What vintage are these items?

I think it is somewhat mixed in terms of date. I've seen some boxes that say "Cooper Tools" on them, but I've also seen some boxes that say Diamond or Utica. There is one socket set that is in a red metal box, so I'm guessing that is somewhat older, but overall I would say you are right in guessing 80's and 90's.

I need some combo satin finish wrenches if you have them.
1", 9/16, 3/8, 7/16.

I think we might have them. I'm going to get to the open stock later and haven't really dug into it yet, but I know we got in some sizes of satin wrenches.

Please put aside one each for me ... I can Paypal or send money order. Seems like I remember that you prefer check or money order.

Are you referring to the ratchets? If you are paying with a check there is an option in our checkout process that let's you pay with a check. Once you get your order in, we'll hold them for you. thanks!

They don't take Paypal.....so that means the wife will see the credit card bill, man you make my life tough.....TheGrooveking

hahaha ha. This got a good laugh around the office. If it's an consolation, you can tell your wife it's all our fault.

Tell me more about the torque wrenches.

Things have been real busy around here so I haven't had a chance to closely examine the torque wrenches. There are three of the one I posted a picture of and there's one regular looking torque wrench. Those will be posted later as I am knee deep in trying to get these sets online.

He-he, well it seems some people need torque wrenches, combo wrenches, ratchets, and Channellocks.

I think I'll just take a quick drive downtown and pick those up first. :D

Isn't the Internet wonderful?

That's some nice stuff! I'm considering one of those wrench sets. How are the quantities so I can figure out my plan of action.

I just ordered the 10-piece metric full polish wrench set from Harry's. Those wrenches are sweet. I'm so stoked! :drool:
