Justin, what's with the monkey things? :lol_hitti




As for you, how do you feel those screwdrivers compare with the other premium brands? I really love the handles but I'm not sure if I should add 'em to my collection just yet..

I like them. My main box is an attaché type from Jensen Tools. They fit the storage pocket perfectly. I use the the 1 and 2 Phillips everyday. Got three years plus before the tips started to wear out.

Just got my first taste of German pliers. NWS needle and their version of Cobras in 10-inch length,0 and some pliers-wrenches in 6 and 10-inches. Great experience from Ash at German-hand-tools. I REALLY like these things a lot and will have to get some more variants.

PWCS7CF wire crimper/cutter/stripper. Works really well as a little combo unit. Bought it for when I am 20 feet in the air changing out ballasts on the shop lights. Tired of having more than one or two tools up there. Works well on the shop floor as well!

Where'd you find the chanellock pliers? I haven't tried real hard but I've googled them and haven't found them.

I had the same problem. Turns out the pics that were taken were too big. I have a note 3 and just took smaller pics.:bounce:

Picked up for at home. The impact was on sale but sold out. Ended up buying the display model for even cheaper. Was pretty happy about that. Grabbed a new 50' 1/2" hose and a hand full of V fittings for it too.

Noticed you got the brass V-style plugs. The Milton catalog recommends the steel V-style plugs instead of the brass ones for impact tool use. Probably OK for occasional use, though.

just got a chinese opcom so i can speak to my vauxhall and activate my cruise control - quality bit of kit , shows me all sorts of parameters tht the car is measuring as i drive. Air temp, oil temp , Throttle position , clutch position , turbo boost command and heaps of others

can test all the warning lights and most of the circuits and relays and sensors

Lot better than my previous P code reader !

so useful im wondering if theres an equivalent out there for my van. which is EOBDII compliant.

All out at the curb, Easter morning.
The vise is a no-name, I think 3-in. Already stripped & ready for paint.
The shell is a WW1 shrapnel shell, had a timed fuse and blew out lead shot.
Gonna have to find a Stanley Universal No. 55 plane for the 3 boxes of blades I now own.

EDIT: just found a pic of the No. 55. I missed an auction where one of these was pictured- thought it was a 'Rube Goldberg' / steampunk homemade. Anyone use one of these before??

One thing has me puzzled, and I scoured Ally Artifacts: a Williams 'Vulcan Dog'- looks like an 'L'-shaped 'breaker bar' for sockets... but it's a 9/16" drive, not 1/2". Could not find a pic/purpose online anywhere. Here I was psyched to find a handy 1/2-drive piece, but no.

That is a massive YOU **** find if it was just out on the curb.:shocking:
Someone really didn't appreciate grandpa's tools the way he did.:sad:

Get some closer pictures up on here, and emailed to Alloy Artifacts. Most likely a pre-standardization or wartime piece.

Here's the Williams piece. 7.5-in long, the drive end is exactly 9/16-in square (no detent ball).

That's got to be the coolest angle vise I ever saw. Or is That something else?

I got this off eBay my second one. My first one I paid 70 for this one I said 48 + 6 for shipping both in mint condition.

I don't think I will use this one I will just hold on to it.

Another box from America, all but the long handle ratchet are made in USA, I was surprised to see that the polished ratchet set was still USA.

Wow, congrats on all that. Glad those didn't make it to the trash pile. I believe those were called "Ells" and were sold as spark plug tools. I have a set from craftsman, been in my dad's box for as long as I can remember. They had some goofy drive sizes back when.

Looks like a angle clamp (it's a Stanley), but the sides that would hold the pieces are so shallow, like 1/8" or 3/16". Almost makes me think it's more for flat stock steel than much else.

I did see a few much later 'Ell' offset wrenches, but not like this one.
I could see if it had an integral socket end, but the 9/16" square drive is a stumper. AlloyArtifacts doesn't list a 9/16" size I saw. According to that source, the "earliest" tools were stamped "J H Williams", but this doesn't even have the diamond-W logo. Maybe it is some sort of prototype.
