Some c series 3/8 drive stuff

Very nice set! The 3/8 drive stuff isn’t as common as the larger 1/2 I believe

d42, does it have a P/N with a 3 digit prefix?

Neither bevel has a part number that I saw. I didn’t check any catalogs.

Looks like a dead ringer. Thanks smoke first 3/8 ones I have seen.

First I've seen of those. Nice find.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Anyone know who made these for craftsman? Aa shows part # ended in 35, but no other info.

 

[d42jeep]

I vote Crescent.

[Oldtuleguy]

That was my first guess as well.. After a couple hours looking at linesman pliers the kraeuter seems to be a match....

 

[d42jeep]

This picture isn’t good but check out the handle pattern on this Crescent.

[Oldtuleguy]

Look at the stamp and part number on the head. The layout is identical to the kraeuter. Similar knurling as well depending on the year.

That works for me. I was going by the handle pattern but I can’t lay my hands on the tool for further comparison. I wonder where I put that? I have a couple of Kraeuters but I’d have to find them too.

Here are a couple of Kraeuters that probably further prove your point.

Horrible lighting for the pics but it was a long day. I brought this early bottom chest home today, thanks to the efforts of two other collectors. One picked the box up for me in Colorado, and the other ferried it halfway across the country for me. I already had the matching top chest. Both chests have the oval waterslide Long C logo, neither has drawer slides. Both are in great original condition.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Congrats on that one joco. Sounds like it was alot of work to get it but looks awesome.

 

[JoCoSawdust]

Thanks OTG. This has been about a year in the making but it was well worth the wait.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Looking forward to some more pics. Those no slide boxes are rare.

 

[JoCoSawdust]

Once I get it cleaned up (not much work to do there), I'll shoot some detail pics in better light.

 

[Outlawmws]

Nice find JoCo! Its cool to be able to store the collection in a period correct box!

Nice that you also got the top tray!

 

[Cruzan80]

JoCo, would this be a box in Co Springs, about last Nov? Had a line on one, guy wrote it was buried behind stuff and cleaning estate, then went ghost on me. If so, at least I know what happened to it!

Dang, that looks good from here! What are you going to do with it? Blow the dust off? Can’t imagine there will be much clean up! Glad it worked out to grab it

Thanks gents. Smokes, just a wipe down and a coat of wax for this one. This'll be the easiest clean up of a box to date for me. Cruzan, this is more than likely the same box. I didn't have any dealings with the estate seller of this thing. A buddy snagged this with me in mind and was in his possession by the time I found out about it.

 

[Private Lugnutz]

Cornering the cathartic Craftsman cabinetry conundrum there, JoCo.

 

[JoCoSawdust]

Now say that three times really fast Lugz!

 

[AngryBeaver]

Just need one more to complete the reedsman stationary set.

 

[danandmelrod]

Sweet set you got there Beave! I only have the 5181. They sure are getting harder to find.

Hi everyone,

It’s been a while since I last checked in and glad you guys have kept this thread going strong I truly appreciate the photos and info of your cool craftsman tools. I’m hoping I’ll have some time today to possibly share a few photos of my resent finds that you will enjoy.

Have a safe and wonderful thanksgiving day!

Dan

 

[JoCoSawdust]

Fantastic line up Beaver!

That's clever!

Spectacular find! Grats!

 

[Cruzan80]

Looks great. Glad to know what happened to it, and that it went to someone who would appreciate it. Karma worked out for me anyway, as I was going to put the benchtop Mohawk DP I have on it, but then I found the floor model!

Would love to see some better pics when it is cleaned up.

My hammer collection. 1937 sears catalog photos attached.

 

[JoCoSawdust]

Love those boxed pliers!

 

[danandmelrod]

Thanks sawdust! I was very fortunate to find those boxes only thing is that they are empty. I still haven’t found some minty pliers for them. Any help or photos of samples would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Smokeshow69]

Love those boxed pliers!

Boy those plier boxes really do it for me! Heck of a find. Picture of my 2 diagonal cutters which have the nested pattern grips! These are not mint by any means , I use them. I wouldn’t use them if they where.

The boxes are amazing even if they may be empty. Is the wrench box empty as well? Where did you find these? They are not easy to find

Detail of the nested diamond grips that Smokes mentioned. Those boxes are great artifacts even if they are empty. Yes, I did wrap up my Thanksgiving by painting the laundry room in order to fend off the food coma.
