Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff!

I added this pair of modified Plomb pliers to my flea haul today. You don't usually see the pliers. Too bad someone took a grinder to them.

Here ya go

was anybody under the impression for a second that this was going to be the 1238? I swear when I opened this picture that it was going to be exactly that, but the hunt for the yeti continues ;)

Well, don't be too bummed cause I think it's about as close as you can get! I'd bet though that if anyone could find the 1238 it'd be you with such a collection, which two thumbs up on that by the way

Hello, Moore,

Those wrenches are looking good, so far...... : )

Hopefully, you'll have set a good example for the other wrench/small tool users here, and we'll soon see other photos of older tooling nicely refinished.

cheers

Carla

Just picked up a plomb pebble big bertha 1" drive ratchet. (Seen here with a 3/8 drive husky QR for scale). Seems to work good, gotta clean it up and test it out.

Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff!

I'm sure which one you're referring to, but all the pieces in there are Plomb.
It is the little bar. Just above the 2 3/8 flex bars in the last picture. I didn't know that plomb made a spinner that was all metal.

I think that's a 1/4" breaker.

So is plomb the most common tool out there? Or is it still hard to come by.

Mooreag47 great haul. The west coast seems to be the best place for finding the pebble treasures.

Todd Thanks, but right now I'm going to hang on to the driver, but, you have first right of refusal.
I have so much S-K right now I'm running out of storage areas.

Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff!

Chopper1 that driver looks like one of the Plomb WF set tools (WF-6). No numbers on yours? Good find.

There are no numbers on the driver. Just 'Plomb USA'

Chopper: nice looking box and what's inside is even better. :bowdown:


Thanks, Drivesit

Geez thats alot. What do you usually pay per wrench at a meet. Alot of people over here don't know the plomb name and usually can pick up for 1-3 per wrench depending on size.

Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff!

I usually pay that Or less.i find most of it in the bottom of a bin of rusty **** almost every one says 1 dollar unless it's a larger one. And if I find a bunch in one spot I'll try to get them for 2.50 ea also found a couple p n c 1/4 drive sockets and some proto la stuff today the swapmeet I go to seems to have an endless supply and the sellers have no knowledge all they know is snap-on or craftsman
