How'd I do?

 

[Strouty]

I like the vise and the snap on speed wrench. I think you did very well, keep looking for more vises at that price.

 

[Borrego]

Fleet 3/4 ratchet for $6? I have a 3/4 ratchet, but at that price, I would start a collection of them......Think that qualifies for a "You ****"........The Blackhawk for $6 was also a good deal.

 

[whelenfan]

I agree, you ****! nice score

Is that Fleet ratchet 3/4" or 3/8"?

 

[plinker]

I repainted an S-K box like that, I found it in the local junkyard. I picked up another off ebay in worse shape (kinda figures).

It's really a nice box overall. Did yours come with a tray?

You made out good on the 1/4 drive sets (keeping them?),
but a 3/4 drive ratchet for 6$? Wow I thought 25$ was a really good deal.

those little 1/4" sk ratchets are nice. About the cman extension what do you mean you "got it exchanged and got your money back for the box"? I guess I know what you mean; you really did that?

Yes, I exchanged it. I would've kept it but the ball at the end was missing. That thing must've been old because the C underlined most of the letters.

Plinker- The S&K box does have a tray,I'm in love with those old 1/4' sets (nfs)

Looking4'67Galaxie- The fleet is a 1/2', it's cool

My first 'You ****'! Thanks guys
I am now an S&K collector lol

Can you get a pic of the tray by chance? Those S-K 1/4 sets dont take long to get attached too, do they?

The Craftsman underlined extension is from the 30's to 40's, IIRC. It's too bad the ball was gone.

Sure, I can probably get those pics up here tommorrow. Once I bought this set, I got addicted to S&K tools. Since I'm 14, I'll probably have thousands by the time I'm 60!
