Indestro socket wrench set

[jimmybread]

Scored at a garage sale. The lady had $2 on it. She ended up giving it to me because i bought a watch for ten. Indestro 1/2" drive. 12 6-Points, 5/16 To 1 1/4, 5 squares, a universal, a speeder, and valve grinder, and a beat up extention. The ratchet is a bonney 4093 with a 4094 plug. Also 5 old wright 12-points. And a snap on 6-point.

Yup great score there and maximum suckage .

From a little research i did, i think the set might be from the late 1920's to late 1930's. And the bonney ratchet is probably 1940's. I figure the guy must've got that after the indestro broke or something. Its cool to think what these tools might have worked on.

Wow, this is a great score. Even better than the SK trash shed haul that I pulled a few weeks ago. Congrats on earning a, "you ****", star.

Any idea what that special socket is used for in your last picture?

That's a valve grinder. Not quite sure how it was used. I found it on the alloy artifacts site.

You haven't even busted 100 post count yet, & scored that cool old 1/2" drive Indestro socket set !!! Great score . . .
. . . . . . and surely worthy of accolades of . . . YOU **** !!!!

The 1/2" speed wrench is also cool and somewhat unusual as most often those are 3/8" drive. Takes some muscle to handle cranking a 1/2" speed wrench & larger sockets and fasteners involved !!
