Very nice. They didn't make the semi deep 8pt sockets very long. There is 5 in total 3/8"-5/8"

Picked up this early cape nose chisel. Might be mid 20s.

Agreed. I always dress mine before putting them up on the wall

A coworker almost lost an eye to a fragment like that. It does happen!

It only took me getting hit in the face one time with a fragment to learn to dress chisels. I also wear safety glasses now when using chisels and drills as well[emoji15]

Got it dressed up.
It is not original. They came with a pin that slid in there to hold the jaws.

Who on here all has the plomb tool carry totes? What did you guys pay if you don’t mind me asking? I have recently become enamored with them but they seem to be in short supply

I know Oregonrockcrusher owns a cut down version. Was this tote only offered in the 30’s or was it ever offered with the more modern v triangular logo?

I don't remember seeing anything in the 42 era catalog. They made a few totes. I know they made one to hold Y series and Z series sockets with a raised tray with 9/16" and 7/8" punched in to hold the sockets in place.

I've come across, in the wild, conservatively, at least 2 dozen of those stud pullers, hell, just last week I left 3 ( 1 proto 2 plomb) behind at a garage sale in Kelso WA. I'd say that maybe 1/4 of them had a bolt like that instead of the pin.

Dang maybe I am wrong. I have not seen the bolts in the catalog before.

Yeah, I'm not saying you're wrong. Just an observation. I'd say about a 20% of them were missing one of the wedges as well.

I think the pins got lost during the work and were replaced by bolts.

That one is nice! Is this the only one you own or do you have the earlier one as well?
Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app
I have one of the earlier ones but not the one Roy is referring to, I middle manned one of those to a guy who has the sockets to fill it.

Any pictures? I think I can visualize what he is talking about but am not 100% sure

It seems like the wedges get lost very easily. Very nice tote!
