Don't the screws come with the rebuild kit?
As for mine, it works perfectly!

I believe that it is 6 point. I just checked the catalog and it looks like the H in the part number indicates hexagon, in other words 6 point. Seems like I learn something everyday, but of course I forget it the next!

RAG: it takes time to make good collections and i can't tell you how many people I've asked for a vise or old tools and i'll continue to do so. did your TOOL GUY have all of those in the bag waiting for DA-VEEEED? WELL DONE SIR!!
looks like that box will be almost full maybe before you get it painted.
ALL: so i couldn't pull the trigger especially while still paying bills from my daughter's wedding, but i would have liked to. here's an old guy's working PLVMB tool set he had in his wood shop. you tell me if you might have sold a grandchild or something to buy it? i'm not sure who bought it, but I'm guessing it might not see daylight if it's not on EBAY soon. it wasn't cheap BTW cause a quality estate guy was selling off the guy's shop.

Well played on the plvmbs! I always score my best stuff from people I know or that know I am looking for something certain...It is almost like they are my drug dealers and are preying on me
It looks like someone painted some of those wrenches as the finish is more grey than metallic? I would have bought all them for $65 in a heartbeat and sold the ones I did not need to recoup the costs.d42jeep

^^^you are right on the armstrong looking pretty plvmbish.... I have no ideas if they made them or not. Anybody else??
On a separate note, I was emailing a guy about some pebbles he was selling and he asked if I would happen to be interested in any other plvmb tools in addition to the pebbles?? Of course I am
What ever made you think that

I think the wrenches will end up at my father in law's toolbox anyway as he's a plomb collector.

Based on what I see some PLOMB stuff selling for on Ebay, you should be okay. Remember that the "crazy bidding war" stuff is at its peak on Saturdays about 4pm - 6pm Pacific Time.

RAG: since you can ship a lot of those Plvmb wrenches in a flat rate USPS box you might just clean them up and take a few nice pictures and put them up on Craigslist at a price you can live with. there are a lot of guys doing NATIONWIDE searches that might pay shipping if you can't find a local guy. of course use your head when accepting Paypal, credit cards and don't fall for the i have a shipping agent and a check for more money scammers.
there is no perfect method for selling tools and even 4C's thoughts of the bidders on Saturday night isn't always true on everything.
there is never much Plvmb in GJ's classifieds if you might want it to find a member's toolbox so maybe post an ad there too.
good luck and post up your doubles and triples here for those of us that might need one or more of them.
cheers
ALL: i bet Plvmb made tools for a lot of other companies like Chevron and Firestone cause they were some of the best tools made at the time. i'll have to look through some of mine for off brand names of Plvmb (look a like) tools when i get time to. that might be a while cause i just bought a few more new (to me) cabinets.
check out the metal cabinet thread if you want to get some ideas on good storage solutions besides Plvmb boxes.

RAG: you have my vote on the FLAT GREEN. see any green in the pictures i posted earlier this morning? keep your eyes open for SHAW-WALKER and LYON cabinets that come in this FLAT GREEN too.
good luck with the box and looking forward to seeing it's new color. did you already buy a label for it that i think one of our members in Oregon makes? he posted the labels on this thread maybe 3 months or so ago and i think he actually started a thread on the labels too if you can't find them let us know if you might want one.
i'm not sure which label i like better so i'll have a look and see if i can find them. do you have a favorite? maybe Smoke knows cause i think he might know the member and i think he bought some to put on his garage tool wall board he made.
Smoke: any ideas on the member's name or contact information in case Rag needs a label?

Twertsy made the one i'd probably prefer with PLVMB even though it's not original or if you can get color guess which one I and maybe all of us like.

That thread pics has the green box and it has a shadow where the sticker was. Looks to be the same as whats on yours. Mine had the same when I got it, could tell where the sticker had been, so yours may be original.

Guilty as charged
I am currently selling some plvmb/proto/ p&c stickers on ebay under the user name beng9104... I posted them here for sale first but seems no one wanted them??? I put them on ebay and people have been buying them. I checked with hoinox11 and he said he is not currently selling on ebay so someone else here in Oregon is selling the logo on drivesitfar's beautiful box. I figured since the other ebay selling is selling those I would stick to the stickers I made. I am almost sold out of plvmb and proto and will need to make another batch! RAGtopTA I don't currently have a logo from the box pictured above for sale but someone else may have one on ebay? The only ones I am selling are the hammerstrike logo. I was thinking about possibly making a transitional sticker though...Would you guys buy them if I found a transitional logo like the ones on montana ford man's tool boards?? I have to order them in quantity of 10's... If you guys want stickers, feel free to pm me and I can get you squared away. I would discount them for members!new guy here. Joined the forum after I had seen lots of good info on tools. This weekend I snapped the head off of my 1/2" breaker bar from Lowes that was 10 years old. It was a USA made one and they gave me Taiwan replacement.
I bought this on ebay for $20.

Speaking of breaker bars. Did they ever make a 1/4 in pebble? And is there a longer version 3/8" as well?
