Tools Needed - Thorsen Display Project

[OilyRascal]

This will be my first focus on any tool "collection" other than those I've simply collected over the years wrenching in the garage.  I recently acquired a 4-sided Thorsen rotating display, and a couple of members have come forward offering .....well, help with filling the tools that belong on the display.  So, against my better financial judgement, I've decided to conquer collecting the tools along with restoring the display.  PM with any offers you may have on Thorsen items.  Thanks in advance for your help!

As much as it pains me, I'm removing the detailed listing of Thorsen tools that I'm still in search of.  I feel strongly it was being used to price hike certain items on ebay.  I don't have a solution other than pulling the list.  Please PM me if you run across Thorsen you'd like to bump up against what I still need.

I sent you the two Thorsens we discussed, and I know I have some sockets out in the shop stashed away. Just have to find them!

[OilyRascal]

Very much appreciated!  I look forward to sporting that hat on my aging head :)       reminds me I must turn 40 next month - ouchy

[Papaw]

40 ain't nothin'! I ran over that and left it in the road 29 years ago!

What style of Thorsen will be needed?

I have two Combo wrenches, but the are slightly different in style:

1/2 -THORSEN- MFD over U.S.A. - 2016

7/8 - THORSEN USA  2028

Neither one will win any beauty contests. I may have some of the sockets out in the shed, as well.

You can get sets of Thorsen tools off eBay quite resaonable some time if you are interested.

I'm just starting to watch Ebay for them, but I'd rather swap, beg, borrow, plead, and buy here ...... then use ebay as last resort to pickup loose ends.  My wife reminded me last night, "JUST REMEMBER YOU HAVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE TO FIND THEM".

Keykeeper - I'm interested in your wrenches.  I have one Wards Master Quality 1/2" drive 7/16 12 point (84-4786) and one WardMaster 1/2" drive 1/2" (I84) 12-point for trade bait, or I can cash up.

I'm having a bit of style confusion, and frankly I've nearly concluded I have a carousel that is made of 4 sides with different styles.....and I'm still working to figure out exactly what is what.  Not certain the carousel isn't "home made" from 4 display boards.  I'm banging my head against the wall trying to date the boards.   I'm new at all this (ID'ing, dating, finding use) so I have a learning curve.

You have taken on quite a challenge. I would not hazard a guess as to how many variations in style there may be but do believe it would be more than 4 and you really have to watch out for the over seas stuff. Are you able to post any pictures of the board you have or the tools you are hunting?
Yes sir, quite a challenge. Good luck! I am sure there are many Thorsen odds and ends to be had here.

Here's a link to the thread with pics of the boards

OilyRascal,

They are yours, just send me those two sockets in return when you get these. The 7/8 combo matches the set that dimwittedmoose had for you from the other thread about the tool boards. Noting the logo on his set is the same as the logo on your boards, I would bet that is the correct type for those boards.

PM me your address, and give me a couple days to find whatever else thorsen I have that may be on your list. I have sh.., I mean stuff stowed everywhere around this place!!!

I also have to get a few other packages ready to go out to Papaw and a few others, so will try to get them out to you as soon as possible.

C'mon everybody else, lets help OilyRascal fill up these boards!!!!!

[OilyRascal]

Will do, keykeeper!  I appreciate all the help.

[Papaw]

Thursday or Friday, I'll scour the boxes of sockets out in the shop.

  Oilly,

I have three deep sockets by Thorsen that I can put my hands on right now. Others may be hiding around.
first is 3/8 drive 3/4 Thorsen #624J
second is 1/2 drive 13/16 Thorsen 626NR
third is 1/2 drive 15/16 Thorsen #630 This has 1/4 dia cross drill hole on drive end. Factory not later addition.
You can have any or all of these. If interested send me your mailing info in PM
Have some other combo & oew plus rat &breaker I would be interested in trading for plomb or mossberg wrenchs or anything IHC.
I have a Thorsen combo set PC6 in a roll but not willing to part with it yet.

Found these on ebay. Sounds like you aren't set up to buy yet. If you want these, I'll pull the trigger tonight. It goes out at about midnight.

There is a 774 ratchet OE, 2016, 2018, 2020,2024,2210,2214,3025. All for $6.49.  It is not far from here. I can pick them up and ship them with what I've got.
