Sentimental Tool, just one?

[LawnBoy-5247]

I have several tools that belonged to my grandather. He gave me a single snap on screwdriver, a 1/2in fleet ratchet and socket set, and a doe and dbe wrench set made by Penens, along with a Proto ajustable wrench and 1/2in breaker bar. With his recent passing they are especially sentimental to me.

very nice. were it mine, i would pick up a repair kit, just to make sure . . . .

19$ after shipping seems like a reasonable insurance policy. if you were me, just buying it will make sure it was never needed. . . . . . .


(not my auction, i just remember seeing it while looking for a repair kit, and went and found it again.)

My Snap-On guy ordered me a kit last week. There is nothing wrong with the ratchet but I didn't want to use it daily if I couldn't replace the parts. If it was discontinued I would have retired it, but as they still make them I will use this thing until I die, and maybe one day my son will be using it and think of his old dad or grandad and so it contionues.......

This is my grandfathers snap on ratchet from 1935 that I recently acquired. It still works perfectly! He passed away when I was really little so it's awesome to have something like this to remind me of him.
