Wow that's neat - Thanks Dick!

 

As my IBM instructor once told me, "A Fool with a Tool is still a Fool".

 

Nice to see the words "Made in USA" so many times on one page.

They show what I always considered a "real" breaker bar, one with no flex head, a single piece. They used to be common, haven't seen one in 30 or more yrs.

 

Thanks Dick. Bookmarked!

 

wow i didnt know my 3/4 ratchet was that old. and two of my pliers were on there also. i got them from my uncles tractor shop when he retired i think i was 14 then bought at his auction.

 

Very cool site, Dick! There a lot of info there. One could click links for days, taking it all in. If you can't find me, I might be over there. Lost. ;-)

 

That's interesting. I thought my tool box was just full of a bunch of junk hand-me-down tools. I'm going to have to go out a take a look at what I have.

 

I've made several trips to the basement - interesting.

 

That's good Dick, your getting exercise and didn't even realize it

 

Hope the exercise improves my memory - my tools are in the garage.

 

If laughing is exercise then I get my fair amount when reading your posts. Keep up the good humor.

 

I got a Craftsman box wrench set that has a metal holder in pretty good shape that my Dad bought new. I hangs in my garage and is a good conservation piece. I also have his rachet set in a tool box with a the craftsman logo riveted on the lid. I am thinking they are from the late 40's/early 50's. I could not find them on that website, not too many tool sets were shown.
