Sometimes you get lucky

In my travels I managed to find a decent selection of NOS SK sockets at a small town hardware store/implement dealer/small engine shop/mechanic and snagged almost all of them. They also had an amazing selection of NOS Allen sockets and related accessories, but I don’t get into Allen branded stuff. I took some pictures this morning of my haul. The handwritten receipt was the icing on the cake.

Nice find.
Picked up a set of NOS SK flare nut wrenches at the local tool supply. Sole proprietor, mid 80's and still showing up to open the shop. He's just there to sell what's left in stock. And...the prices are right.

US made Allen stuff isn't too bad imo. Nice haul on those SK pieces nonetheless.

My wife is on me about the stuff I’m getting into. I gotta limit what I’m adding into the fold lol.

Depends if you are good with your "tools"

Cheaper to hold onto them both in the end.

Awesome. We never make it out of the bed on time to go to small town hardware stores lol. Most close at noon on weekends. Or I’ll want to go and my parents don’t lol had that happen too. At least the Ace here still has old Craftsman stuff.
