Finally Got Some of My Dads Tools

[BullfrogJohnson]

My dad has been a diehard Craftsman guy his whole life. He has big box in his shop full of tools he bought when he was younger, that he never touches. Well after years of me pestering him, I finally got to do some pilfering. Most of the tools are from the late 70's to early 80's. Alot of them were never even used. I am really excited about the torque wrench, ratchets and ball peens

Pics of the lot

As stated above, "now that's real Craftsman"

My Dad has given me many Craftsman tools as well. I purchased many Craftsman tools over the past 35 years and have passed many down to my son as well. Keep the tradition going with yours

I got one of those hand impact drivers from my grandfather's tools. It's truly the most amazing tool for removing stubborn screws/bolts.

"Dad tools" are second in coolness only to "Grandpa tools".

Enjoy them (and thank your Dad again)!

Very nice, what the red handle driver on the right with the two things at a right angle on the end?

You read my mind.

That is a really beautiful collection of Dad tools....

Make him proud and treat them with respect and care, and one day your
offspring can make you proud. As I never knew either of my Grandfathers,
my Dad tools are the most precious and coolest tools I have.

very true. nothing in my boxes i cherish more than beat up tools with 8036 engraved on them(grandpa), or "Rusty" (dad). also my first body hammer given to me by a friend of dads when i first started taking autobody classes. use them everyday.

love that RHFT flex too. never seen one that i remember.
