P&C Stuff

[Private Lugnutz]

I'm pretty sure that was an intentional design feature. Small profile = greater access. Unless the drive plug is removable? Going to see if the Thorsen I have is that slim.

 

[Outlawmws]

I guess it is the same as the Thorsen 77. Never realized how small the head was on those...

I found this unique P&C speeder at an estate sale yesterday and just had to have it. It probably works like an offset screwdriver.

[Private Lugnutz]

Another piece to test your tool-straightening prowess, Don?

While P&C liked to get 'different' with speeders - see the crazy one-handed jobbies they made in 3/8-inch drive (3248) and 1/2-inch drive (6248) - I think that is almost certainly a user-bent 3215, right? And probably not intentional? I can see what you mean about the offset, but the swing arm would put your hands right back into whatever that bend would avoid, right?

I see that you included the bend to show how it doesn't seem jacked up. But I dunno, I'm still thinking user bent.

Maybe MR. X will know.

 

[d42jeep]

It was user bent for sure. I was thinking that Username could practice his tool straightening skills on that one. He’s more into P&C than I am.

[Private Lugnutz]

It was user bent for sure.

DOH!

Sorry about that. I guess my sarcasm meter needs re-calibrating!

Found this lot mixed in with a ton of random stuff. I picked out the **** I didnt want and got it for $5.
Everything is P&C 100 except the Bonney breaker.

Here is a 14” Stillson I found on Friday.

I picked up these P&C tools at an estate sale in Tacoma a couple of years ago. I paid $9 for the lot which included a handful of other sockets and a complete set of 1/2 drive Craftsman circle H standard sockets. I had never heard of P&C but thought that the ratchet looked identical to a Proto. I found the deep 7/16 on Ebay a few months ago, which surprised me because a 7/16 deep isn't even listed in the 1966 catalog. All of them look new. I think it was a pretty good find.

Yes, you did real well! You could not have done much better with a gun and a knife! Very nice set

****** Californian, LOL . You stole them right out of my back yard.
Very nice score.

Almost forgot about this thread. The 1/4" drive set from post #189 has now morphed into this:






Not sure that I can actually stuff it into the box, but I'm still looking for the ratchet handle matching breaker bar...lol

 

[jabberwoki]

Where do you keep coming up with all this perfect condition stuff

 

[3baygarage]

Nice sets guys.

Here are a couple ratchets. 3/8” 3209 and 1/4” 0246.

Don't believe I added this to this thread. Leaf spring separator I believe, for greasing.

Among my sparse estate sale finds today were these two P&C screwdrivers. I’ll leave the restoration up to Username.

Awesome! Thanks, Don!

 

[jabberwoki]

Neat pair of ring spreaders and a box-o-P&C sockets and a few wrenches.

 

[MR.X]

Picked up the longer one of these breakers today. I think they were only making this style for a short period of time around 1930. Both are 1/2" drive, have the 1/2" female recess in the handle, the Milwaukie Oregon and pat. pndg. marking, and both are what they called "inside head" style at a time when they were offering "outside head" breakers too. Surprisingly they have some pretty noticeable differences,the shorter version lacks the stepped drive piece has a more primitive looking fork style and no detent inside the hole where the T-handle would slide thru.

 

[3baygarage]

Very nice. Never see those.

 

[MR.X]

Thanks. I think it was a pretty short production window.

 

[Provincial]

I thought it looked like an early production, rather than a modified later item. If it had stayed up longer, I might have looked at it!

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Found this little p&c ratchet. Thought it looked cool so I bought it

Great find OTG! Is it 1/4 or 9/32?

 

[Oldtuleguy]

1/4 inch. Used it to change a battery, works great!

 

[RubiconJK]

1/4 inch. Used it to change a battery, works great!

You ****! Been really wanting to find one in the wild !

MR x- these are fantastic! I have not really seen to much early stuff but sure would love to find more ! Sounds like I need to start hitting more local estate sales. Where did these come out of ?

Hey Smoke, some cool dude down in North Salem had it as part of a lot on OfferUp ( which I've never successfully used before). I had to go down that way anyway and seller didn't mind breaking up the lot. When i got there he let me look thru the rest of his stuff. The whole thing was pure luck, I wasn't even looking for P&C, the lot was one of those "similar items" prompts at the bottom of the page.

Been there and done that on the similar items ! Nice grab !

I showed this off in the garage sale thread as well, but here’s a few more pictures of the instant P&C collection I bought today. The 1/2” sockets seem to be super complete with all he **/32” sizes and 5 eight points. The combos are complete from 1 5/16” down to 13/16”. The 1/2” deeps need a little help, as do the 3/8” sockets. I’ll see what I have to fill in. There’s doubles of the 2734 combo if anyone needs one for a set. Definitely the most P&C I’ve found in one place, and for a steal!

 

[Private Lugnutz]

That's like half of a P&C Master Mechanic Set in one fell swoop. Nicely done.

Thanks. I never really focused on P&C before, but I might now.

Wow! That's an outstanding find...Congrats!..


Here's a small ignition wrench set.

Very nice!

 

[3baygarage]

Dave, I think that’s PEC, a different brand altogether. I believe they may have been contract tools by Plomb or Proto but that I’m not sure. There was some discussion about them long ago. I can’t remember when I last saw any, but pretty sure I’ve seen 1/2” drive breaker bars. The nice part is you solved a mystery for me as I’ve been trying to think of the brand for some time!

 

[jabberwoki]

CRTDI seriously dude do you have a delorean?

 

[MR.X]

Here's two P&C body dollies. An egg with the pre-Plomb number 1101 and a much later wedge with a post acquisition numbering system 1457 sticker , which in this case, appears to be placed over a Proto Tools sticker?
