... my shop storage!
When I cleaned out the shop, I had a small box of small tools that were dups or just not needed. I thought I'd go through them and see what, if anything, was interesting, and if there were any tools to fill holes in a couple of sets.
Here are the picks:
ABCO and Kraeuter punches--I know these came from my father's tools (why did he need two 9'16" punches?). An Easco socket. Some -VV- Crafty sockets. Crafty -V- points wrench. DOEs.
Here are the DOEs:
I think the Plvmb is the catch of the day. It fills out a hole in my Plvmb collections nicely. It is my Plvmb collection. It's been rode hard and put up wet, for sure. It's so magnetic, it throws off the compasses of passing airliners.
The metric DOE, top, looks to me like something out of a Japanese car or motorcycle kit. No markings on the other side. I'd toss it in the Toyota kit, but 10 and 13 are not common sizes for a '93 Corolla. The middle wrench has a single mark on the other side that looks like a 7. Probably what rock hounds call a "leaverite", as in "leave 'er right there".
Anyway, fun hunting in stuff I already own, and a good excuse to use my old flatbed scanner as a macro camera again. It's been years.
