Swap Meet Finds

[MarshallGirvin]

So I scored a few tools last Saturday at The Rhinebeck NY, Car Show/Swap Meet. Not an extremely outrageous deal but I'm not complaining. I purchased the PowrKraft toolbox mainly for the Armstrong ratchet, but it came with some other goodies. A full PowrKraft 1/2" set (Ratchet, Sockets, Breaker Bar, Extensions, Speeder) and a full SK wrench set. I want to know how to take apart the J-H Williams "SUPERRATCHET". I think the larger notched ring around the selector unscrews but I'm not sure. Any help would be appreciated.

I came across some SK Wayne wrenches at a garage sale. They have great feel and heft to them.

Looks like a nice haul! Is that 1/4 ratchet a Wright? What did you have to give for it all?

It doesn't have any markings on it. I spent about $45 for everything.

Thanks. I threw some PB Blaster on it last night and left it all today. Will go out and try it in a few.

Yep you ****.

I was hoping I could get some more information on some of the wrenches I got. Here's a list:
The Kilborn & Bishop Co. Saxon Wrench
Bacalo USA TO2628
Bonney USA 706
Two wrenches labeled "M" inside of a circle (???)
Wrench with an upside down triangle, kind of like the letter "O" in Plomb.
D WIZARD wrench.

I have other ones that are only marked USA and some that are completely label-less. Any information would be great.

I have a blue Powr Kraft box just like the one pictured. I also have a tan one, they are nicely built and good for holding ratchet collections

What is that wrench in the bottom picture used for? I have a similar one and thought it might be for gas valves but couldn't figure why there were screw taps in it.

I have absolutely no idea. I was hoping I could get some info.

The bottom wrench is refered to as an "alligator" wrench. It is used like an open end adjustable wrench....but you don't need to adjust.
