Blue Point pullers are the best ever made in my opinion. Not for $2200 though.
Blue Point/Snap-on pullers don't hold a candle to the classic Plomb/Proto puller. When a design that simple is around and in use for almost 100 years, and its major competition is a veritable Rube Goldberg contraption you know it is the best.

Having owned the Plomb/Proto pullers and Snap on CJ series plus the Blue Point CG series, a puller that holds tension on the jaws was valuable on the 10-20 ton pullers, especially 3 jaw. Blue Points worked the best hands down in my experience. The Proto's had weak screws when a hammer was needed to jar the screw and didn't like a hard pull. The Snap on CJ series jaws were always to thick to fit where I needed a puller an the thin jaws always broke their tips off. I sold the CJ stuff and kept a few smaller Proto pullers because there are times where they fit the specific job better.

Ford script stamped. So one of these looks to be a 1935 P71 which is apparently? the industrial catalog's name for what we know as the 71A ratchet in the standard catalog. The other looks to be a two 1935 71A’s very skillfully joined and modified 7/16”and 1/2” female ( like the brake wrench) besides the 35 date code their appears to be a 5 and a Z on the faces on both ends, although very light on one. Also a 3566 stamped. Ford shop made 5Z 3566?

The P71 (N and 10) are listed in the 38 supplementary cat.
Right. I saw it/them in the 37 Industrial cat. on the collecting snap-on site on a page headed Snap-On assembly tools. Is there a difference between the 71A and P71? Also that double end in your pic, Ford stamped as well?

The P71-N has the flat handle, the P71-10 has the round handle. Pic attached is a P71-10 with a 41 code
Ford is stamped on the double end.

Hi. Sorry. In this particular instance I meant the 71A and the P71. I'm assuming that(71A) is what has been grinded off from the shank of our ratchets that have the P71 stamping.

To make the P , you take a 71A or an 71N then replace the detent ball with a pin. And the P model number is applied. sometimes the old model number is removed. Would like to see a 71N that’s been changed

Got it. I didn't phrase that right and I deleted it because I can't even understand what I wrote. I just didn't understand why you brought up the "N" selector. But you ( and Oldtule guy)did answer my original question ref. difference between 71"s and P71's....Anyway, my P71A isn't a pin selector, maybe a shop made replacement. Also did you notice besides being female drive the gear on the double seems to be thicker?

Here are three items I previously posted elsewhere. All were bought in 1962. The compression gage was purchased used.

Here are a pair of hand carry boxes I picked up on an overnight trip to a swap meet in Roseburg yesterday. The larger box is a K-21, probably pre-war. Eagle snap latches and cross dividers on the top drawer. Leather handle is toast but I think I have one to replace it. Paint is black with nothing showing under it. It has a few rust issues and will need a new piano hinge to replace the cobbled door hinges on the front panel. Also the handle is missing from the rust infected top tray.

The other smaller box I'm not sure of. It resembles a K-24 but the dimensions are off. It is 18-1/2" long, 6-3/4" wide, and 4-3/4" tall. Grey color seems original. The cats I looked at show the K-24 at 20" long. It is missing it's tray but the leather handle is semi-ok. I'll probably just clean it up a little for now. The pics. Ed.

Couple of F710LS's 1964 and 1965 date codes. I've had the 1964 for 30 years or better, handle is a screwdriver handle added years ago. 1965 I picked up yesterday.

I got this super solid kra-21 from BMWRD0 today in a trade. I traded away some Blackhawk for this solid box. Looks like someone tried to "age" it but wasn't successful at all. Hopefully I can remove it and save some of the gray paint underneath. If I can't it would be a nice restoration project because it's so solid and straight.Very heavy box for it's size and well made. Even came with some AN marked crows feet wrenches!

I‘ve had some luck with a rusty tray like that pouring a couple of inches of evaporust in and leaving it to work overnight. There will still be some pitting but at least the rust will be minimized. I like the box!
