Plomb, Cornwell, Williams, Apex etc.

Closer look at some 3/4" drive sockets and some other pieces I snagged earlier today. I was after a big old Snap On wrench and got a bunch of stuff with it. 9 of these big sockets, about 75 other random sockets, all USA made with the exception of 3. A lot of old SK. The stuff was dirty and I spent a couple hours with the bench grinder wire wheeling it clean, but worth it. Here is another shot of the other Knu-Vise that was in there as well. This set is a lot bigger than the set I posted the other day. The big sockets are as follows: 2 Cornwell, 1 Williams, 1 Bonney, 2 Apex, 1 Truthmankato, 1 Plomb, and one marked "D". I also included a pic of the "screwball" ratcheting screwdriver that was included and a pic of my Vulcan half ton chain hoist. I'm in the process of cleaning it up. Took apart the brackets and cleaned about 500 years of buildup off of them but have to do the chain yet. Started wire wheeling it with the angle grinder and realized it would take me the rest of my life to finish the entire 30' of chain. Going to buy some of that solution they sell and give her a soak. I want to mention that if anyone sees anything I ever post that they really want to complete a set or whatever message me and most likely I will let it go. I buy tool lots almost every single day and my life revolves around them so I come across a lot of stuff. I have a lot of tools and at the rate I am buying them I will run out of space to store them. Also willing to trade. Looking for a 1/2" drive Snap On ratchet. Hope you enjoy the pics.

That "D" is actually "D-I", and is wartime Duro-Indestro. To soak, use apple cider vinegar. It will clean a lot and is cheap.

Thanks for the info on the socket and the tip on the vinegar. Appreciate it.

As has been mentioned many times, I suggest caution when using a power wire wheel to clean cad plated sockets. The airborne particles are poisonous. The Cornwell sockets may have been cad plated. That D-I socket is one of the largest I’ve seen and I have a bunch of them. I think my largest 3/4” drive is 1-1/16”. I have 1/2” drive up to 1-1/4”.

JnM,
What are those two pliers with nub ends, is it for welding or sheet metal work?

Are these Cadmium Duro/Indestro, no letter stamps, size and distinctive edge knurling only? I think these were a set.
Thanks
