Hello, I just came across your forum via Google trying to research a couple old tools I bought at a yard sale. I guess I am a tool collector of sorts. I sell stuff on ebay and always buy old tools at sales and flea markets when they are cheap enough but never considered myself a collector of tools by any means but Ive bought alot of 50's and newer Snap-On and SK, Mac, Bonney stuff from tag sales over the years and once in a while come across odd stuff I sell on ebay so I can buy more stuff that I have a use for. This weekend I got clean early Snap-On #7 ratchet and a Craftsman 3/8 combination wrench with a open end a Swivel Socket end. And numerous other Snap and SK & Mac Ratchets extensions and sockets. Heck even got a brand new condition Echo hedge trimmer for $5. It looks like it was used once and then the gas was drained and stored inside. 
I live in a area (between New Britain and Bristol CT) that was very industrialized at one time so there is alot of old timers that worked at P&W, Stanley, Sessions clock company and numerous other industries in the area. Im not to picky on sockets I use but i really prefer older Snap-On ratchets. ,Pete

. Just when I thought I had every tool I'd ever need in my lifetime, their tempting ways got me to buy $165.00 in GearWrenches in the last month. And it won't stop there. If you're not strong, it'll happen to you too. 
Welcome to the board.
