Made me think of the orange handled Craftsman Professional screwdrivers from back in the day. A vast improvement over the all black, easily left behind versions. I really liked the shape of those handles along with their hex shaped blades. They're pretty uncommon now days.

O P, there are multiple Vintage Craftsman Tool threads in "Vintageland". Go to vintage tool board and check the stickie for specifics.

I got a circle U 1/2" ratchet at the pawn shop the other day, made by plvmb I believe in the 40's for craftsman. Really cool tool, I got it to flip but it's too neat and smooth to sell... so... that's all I got.
im going to use this post as an opportunity to ask a question.
sears often rebadged tools with craftsman name from many different sellers. Often times by smaller tool manufacturers that couldn’t get a foothold by themselves.
I swear I saw an old advertisement with a rebranded craftsman ratchet that stored some sockets inside the actual handle so you didn’t lose them. It looked ugly as sin, but had to to store the sockets. I have no idea how many all I know is that the sockets went inside. It’s been on my mind for around 6 years now. My brain could be making this up, but it’s been bugging me ever since.
Does anybody remember this?

Define "old". Some of regularly used tools are over 50 years old ?

And Craftsman never manufactured anything , but they were a great marketeer in their day until the new chairman sold off all the great brand names they did so well building up through the years . "CRAFTSMAN" DIEHARD"TOUGHSKINS" ECT.

Criticism is slow coming again, going to get a coffee breakfast .

So is this a classified ad doing an end run around the rules, or a legit sales thread with no pics?
I'm not sure what is worse.
My apologies for delayed criticism.

They must predate photography...
Craftsman made their own tools, I know, the plant was just down the road from me, i would walk over from time to time and grab a wrench hot off the press.
Those were the days!
As for the CEO Ed Lampert, he is a fine man with a sharply honed business sense and pride in American mfg and the growth of Sears/Craftsman. Have you seen how nice the new tools are they make!!!
