I posted this in the Plomb Thread by mistake.....
For years and years I went without hose clamp pliers.
Can't explain it....
After recently dealing with a couple of stubborn hose clamps, I went out and bought myself a nice one.
So, I've come to realize that I cannot be without hose clamp pliers
Now, I have five
I found this one at a Garage Sale

Have some more somewhere. Bought a Proto flare nut 5/8- 3/4 AF to use on Diesel injector pipe nuts, 40 some years ago. Perfect fit and solid.
No arguing from the pipe nuts, cried Uncle every time.
Sold the thing when I hung the tools up.

This today at a car boot sale. Wouldn't take less than £7 GBP. Solid item.
I love the blue! I love that the 3/8 is appropriate also, I like your style!Here is my take.

Thoughts?

Well, today was a good day! Now to get everything cleaned up. The box on the right is actually pretty clean. I passed on it about 4 years ago and regretted it every time I saw it. So when I had the chance to buy it I couldn’t say no again. Once I get everything cleaned up I’ll post them. Box on the right does have its hasp intact which is not easy to find with these 9990’s

Absolutely! These came from a fellow member-Bmwrd0 but still pretty good day. There is a bunch of tools inside that are thread related as well

This box is cool as heck! BmwRD0 gave it to me when we did some swapping. I’m over the moon about it! It’s a Proto la box but it has a plomb sticker on it so it’s not too long after the lawsuit I believe? It contained 7/8 hex impact sockets. I have acquired a few yellow Proto boxes over the past few years but this is the first for me with a plomb logo/sticker . It’s already inside my house in a display cabinet

I'll grab a picture but it's a standard 12-pt opening.
Someone needs to grab these!
Edit: not as good of a deal as I thought but still not bad.

Ok... Here's the service opening.
Still trying to wrap my head around what R-2795 signifies.

Looks very similar to a Kent-Moore spark plug socket made by Bonney for military use, maybe aircraft.I picked this the other day and can't find it in the catalogs.

It seems that the “S” suffix refers to the finish on the wrenches.

I did get the other items I got in my 9990’s all laid out. There was the ubiquitous cotter pins and sandpaper but I don’t think you guys want to see that 
. Proto items from the LA era all the way to professional. Bunch of good stuff in here like a nice awl and the drivers and I actually needed some of these pliers! And you know I’m stoked on the utility knife

I had been putting some of the more interesting Proto stuff in a box for you, along with some duplicates. I never had a chance to clean out that box though...
Sweet box cutter!

Uh huh… I’m starting to notice a trend here
. But seriously there was some pretty cool stuff in there. Thanks. Believe it or not I don’t have one of those so I’m pretty stoked on it! Going into the user drawer for sure

I also got this Proto la 3/4 drive box this weekend in a trade for the p&c version. Box is really straight but is super greasy and the exterior is a little bit tired. It may get cleaned up at some point but not right now.
