A few things today... no pics again! I'm such a terrible guy.

And before I start, I have a problem with 3/4" sized wrenches and sockets...

-small metal SK box.. green hammertone paint. Love it. Approx. 3.5" x 8.5"
-Williams S-41 1/2" drive breaker bar.. very nice. Love the female 1/2" square recess in the handle.
-Craftsman =V= 12-pt 3/4" socket
-billings 3/4" 12 pt socket
-Wright 3/4" 6 pt socket
-Snappy 7/8" swivel socket
-New Britain 3/8" hex bit socket
-Bonney 1165 11/16" full polish wrench
-Bonney 1166 3/4" full polish wrench
-Older Bonney, same as above, not polished.
-Vlchek 3/4" wrench
-SK 81002 1/4" flathead screwdriver
-Proto 3/8" bit socket
-Proto chrome 3/8" long bit socket
-Williams-made Kobalt 1/4" wrench
-Craftsman 43797 1/2" drive ratchet

all for 35$. Did I do okay?

Took a study break and finally cleaned up my Proto 5249 3/8" standard ratchet won off ebay. As far as I know it is a fairly early example being marked "Proto Los Angeles".

BTW are the faceplates on Proto ratchets supposed to be a light friction fit? This ones needs a few taps with a soft faced hammer to seat completely on the shoulder.

Tricky, sounds like you did! Garage sales?

Sort of. guy at work.

Added a few more items...

Craftsman (70s) top box, 3 drawer, made in USA (yay!) Has a sort of gray-ish paint with red drawers. I like it. Especially the key!

Starrett No. 2 1-2" mics. Stainless steel i think.. has fraction to decimal equivalents all over it. I have a 0-1" T230XRL mic that's kind of like it already, so this takes care of my OD measuring for now

Etalon/Rolle Swiss made vernier calipers.. awesomeeeeee.

11 piece. Grobet small riffler set (6")

Starrett 6" combination square

and you can make more of it!

I see someone else visited the Eastwood sale. Not a bad set of wrenches for under $20 aside from not having an 18mm.

Yep!

And the lack of an 18mm doesn't bother me. I've never used an 18mm wrench in my life.

 

[franzdom]

Don't take up working on German cars.

Don't take up working on German cars.

I work on BMWs exclusively and have no use for an 18mm wrench or socket.

VW/Audi has tons of them.

People bother fixing those?

Previous owner of an E36 an a 91 Audi 90 20v, checking in.

The Audi might have, i never worked on it. Was before i "became handy."

People bother fixing those?

Full disclosure, i loved my Audi, and i would love to have an older water-cooled VW, and a Corrado SLC.

Went down and adopted a stray this morning...

That's strange, because that's the German car I work on most, the one I found a need for 18mm.

 

[5mall5nail5]

I have an E30, 3 E34s, and an E46 and not once have I used an 18mm! I've had just about every part out of each car, too. What takes an 18mm? I find BMW uses 8mm, 10mm, 15mm, 17mm, and 19mm. Some of the bigger rear suspension bolts are 22 or 23mm.

 

[dsmnickk90]

I just put struts on a 08 mustang and most the front suspension was 18mm

 

[gc11090]

Got a killer deal on this set! Kid was asking $100 so he could get a new compressed air tank for his Airsoft gun. And me being a paintball player I had a few air tanks laying around. One of them I got for $25 used from someone who desperately needed cash and that's all I had on me at the moment. Therefore, here is my $25 snap on set. Included is a tm830 ratchet, shallow metric set, shallow standard set, semi deep standard set, 3 extensions, universal joint, 1/4 to 3/8 adapter, and case. New retail price is around $650!!!!

 

[north]

Awesome. You ****.

 

[u118224]

I got a used SK 1/2" breaker bar off E-bay for $16.60 plus shipping. It's in almost like new condition with no prior owner marks.

 

[Chadwilliam1]

Some more misc sockets, spark plug sockets and some made in china long reach pliers for $26 for the pair. I couldnt pass these up.

I need a website to buy individual sockets the craftsman does not sell. Mostly I need the smaller size for each drive.

These craftsman professionals came in from Jeff Moss. Thanks Again!

These are probably going back since the have metric equivalents. Or i might just keep them to say i have em.

I ended up getting an Allen in that size from Cripe to finish out my set.

My Dynasty 200dx is my main money maker, I would kill for a 700!

Heck I just want a 200 DX. Cyberweld has the 700 for a cool 10k

Chad, glad you got them so fast, enjoy!

Grainer has a craftsman industrial in that size for 17 bucks. I might just buy a set off ebay that includes it for 30 bucks then put the other 4 sizes back up on ebay.
