Went to visit my grandfather today. The guy is 92 and up until last year he always put in a garden--tilled and everything by hand--always "puttered around" and was strong as a 20-year-old. So last year, he started giving me his tools. Gardening tools. Axes and sledges. Carpentry tools. And a Craftsman 3/8" metric socket set and a litton tool set, which I sold.
He always worked on his own cars up until the 70s, oil changes into the 80s. He owned a model A, an older model T, and did the regular head gasket changes with the Moore head gasket/ spark plug wrench. Figured he got rid of his tools long ago.
He was pulling out an old wood desk from his garage, and found these in a drawer. He forgot all about them
Most of the ratchets are New Britain. The 1/4" on the right in the 2nd pic is a husky. Next to that is an old Plomb 3/8 breaker bar. In the red box there is a Sparta 1/4" set--some sockets missing but the ratchet and breaker bar is there.
Other items of interest is a Barcalo wrench from Buffalo--haven't looked at AA about any of this yet but I never heard of them.
In the pliers photo, the second one in from the left has an odd jaw--made by Carson. Never heard of them either. Just think they are neat.
Next to those is a New Britain set of pliers with a wire cutter --like linesmens pliers but shaped more like regular pliers and not has heavy as linesmen's pliers.
The bottom adjustable is a Proto Los Angles 10" pair.
Also complete set of 6 pt Blackhawk metric deep sockets in 3/8, NB SAE 6 pt. 3/8 deep sockets, a couple incomplete sets of short sets in 6 and 12 pt, some swivel sockets, adapters, extensions, and random other sockets and extensions. Some of these are unique at least to me--like a Billings 1/2" extension that says "Lifetime" on it. I'll post more pics of these when I need to ask you experts.
Ok, if I'm too new here to ****, just let me know and I will promptly return them.
