Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff!

[r_olson_06]

Did something fairly out of character and bought two sockets of a size/brand which I already have two or three of; the difference? The other two or three I have are not dated and these are.

When did they start hot broaching, again?

The two last sockets(5430; 5431) Appear to have never been used or sparingly, almost no evidence of striking and zero grease or corrosion.

Nice pair. They look to be a late 39 and 41.

Got these off eBay. I made an offer to the seller. At least now I have these 3 plus a 1-1/4 as well... now to find the rest! The stamping on the 1/2 is sloppy and a little off the top is cut off.

Nope, it wasn’t me. I think it is super cool but I couldn’t justify it at that price. I sure hope it was some one on here though!

Ouch! That is pricey

I was the high bidder until the last few seconds. Then it shot up to a crazy number and I was out. I wanted it bad, but apparently way less than someone else.

 

[DD T/A]

Wow I knew the Plomb stubbies were rare but not $75+ rare! I'll keep my eye out, I already have a Proto that is a good user tool.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Picked up my little proto stubby cheap somewhere.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Anyone know what this calif tool wrench was for? I was thinking maybe a brake wrench.

 

[d42jeep]

Brake eccentric adjusting wrench is correct. Here is a Cornwell and a tiny Barcalo with original packaging. I have one in Herbrand too, I believe.

[Oldtuleguy]

Thanks don. I suspected as much but was not sure as I do not see alot of California tool stuff.

 

[Provincial]

During the late 1930's and early 1940's Bendix made a shoe brake system with an anchor pin for each shoe that had an eccentric stud so you could adjust the contact with the drum at that point. The pin was threaded with a lock nut to secure the adjustment. The anchor pin had a flat machined on the end of the threads so it could be turned. This wrench has a narrow opening to fit that flat.

There are several sizes of anchor pin flats, so there is more than one version of this wrench type.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Thanks provincial. Good to know if I tangle with one! At least now I have the right wrench.

 

[d42jeep]

I believe that all of mine are 3/16” x 1/4”. It just so happens that they are the correct ones for my ‘42 Ford Jeep.

Sounds like you are prepared!

I was thinking the same thing. I snagged a BIN now a few weeks back for $19.99 shipped. I was really excited at the time now I am even more.

Good to see you posting. Can't wait to see what you have amassed lately for the pile-o-plomb.

Man I hope the winner of that auction doesn't see this, they'd kill someone

I have the same one I paid a dollar or less for.

Mine came in this random lot of greasy Plomb sockets. I’m sure I didn’t pay much for them.

[bmwrd0]

I found mine at the Roseville swapmeet, and I think I paid 10 cents for it.

You guys all ****!

Thanks. Many of those pieces will end up in this master 1/4” drive set in progress. I added the ignition wrenches and some shallow sockets. I still have a ways to go.

[r_olson_06]

A couple more to the wall and board.
A pebble screwdriver and an 1-1/16" 8pt socket. It seems like anything over 1" on the double squares are very hard to come by. Anybody have a non dual example of the 1-1/16" and 1-1/4".

Real beauties! Have one of those 1/4" rats but it just spins freely. I'd doubt there are rebuild kits for these things.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Thanks mritchie77. Sorry to hear yours is busted. Have you opened it up?

Amazing sets OTG- did you post those on the 1/4 drive set thread yet?
