Swap Meet finds

[r_olson_06]

So for my 29th birthday I decided to go to a swap meet and here is what I walked away with.
9 socket sets from SK, none better, Mac, mustang, and Gamble's.
Ratchets are plomb, thorsen, Craftsman RHFT and -v-.
A super old herbrand tappet wrench set
30" and 36" extensions along with several smaller sizes.
A pile of USA wrenches to go through.
All sockets are Craftsman -v- and older, speed master, plomb, and some misc vintage.
All in all some good bday pickings.

That is a very interesting pliers you have there, could you show me that pair underneath the knipex looking pliers.

Also could I get another look at the small box end wrench that has a tilt on one end and what looks like a hollow type push lever on the other end. Thanks nice haul.

Good stuff!

Wow nice haul! Happy Birthday btw!

Is that rotating grip extension in the back left a Williams? What kind of set is that?

 

[r_olson_06]

Wow very good eye. Yes it is a Williams. The set is none better.

The chrome pliers under the red end cutters look like wire tying pliers. Used to put safety wire thru bolts and nuts so they can't come undone. Required safety measure in some racing programs.

Very good now I see the wire twisting of the pliers. If you get the chance please separate everything and take a ton more pictures.

PS: Happy Birthday...

Really a great haul. Not sure that wire tying tool looks incomplete to me. But I've never done wire tying. My racing days were so long ago it was before this nanny nonsense.

I would like to see the writing on the 2 double box wrenches with round shanks. One off them large. Thanks.

Wow! That's one heckuva haul! Did you have all the vendors to yourself or do folks in the Badlands dislike tools?!? Happy birthday, indeed!

Looks like it missing a part also.

We usually only have swaps once a year around these parts so it is usually a decent turn out. Probably north of 500 vendors. It is so off you can never find tools at a grade sale only auctions, flea markets, and estates.

The pliers look to be a set of Milbar automatic twist safety wire pliers. The pull knob is broken off the one end.

 

[Plombob]

Depending upon what you paid, you might deserve a "you ****". I spy a bunch of Plombs in there! Good job and happy birthday!

 

[uncwstudent]

I wish my birthday's ended up like that! Great finds OP!
