The box is what I like out of all the stuff you have . . . It is very practical and well thought out service tool box!

That would appear to be a Simonsen Metal Products Mechanic's box... more specifically a Type II, Class I, Size 2 model.

Seriously, with the specification and contract numbers on it, it would appear that it was produced for a military contract. I'm gaining a new appreciation for classic cantilever boxes like that.

I was thinking military also. That is the only markings on the box.Any idea of the year it was made?

it's probably a box that was made for military/govt use. i'd be interesting to find out any history

A number six Record,awesome!That's a vise that will do it all and keep coming back for more.IMO a much nicer vise than the free Wilton.

I'd love to get a ratchet like that to match my GF70S.

Nice score!

I like that spread of Craftsman ratchets! Same sizes, different styles, lined up next to one another makes for a great "compare" photo.
The round selector knob next to the inverted "V" are the same handle but different innards? Or just a different selector? Of course, one is quick release.
