Title: My first request for help, Artisan Pliers
Post by: Bad 31 on February 06, 2017, 09:49:40 PM: I picked up this plier today made by Artisan. I have an Artisan ratchet that I know is made by SK. Did they make other tools as well, like these pliers? Thanks, Steve.

Post by: EVILDR235 on February 07, 2017, 08:39:36 PM: I know for sure i have a 1/2 inch ratchet, a pair of pliers and a adjustable wrench. I have at least one more tool, but i don't remember what it is and i am not sure where any of them are right now.

Lost in space.

Post by: Bad 31 on February 07, 2017, 08:59:48 PM: Thank you sir! I also have a 1/2" ratchet and now some pliers. Some of this obscure stuff is really fun to find.

Post by: EVILDR235 on February 09, 2017, 01:32:12 AM: I had more than I thought. I also have a punch somewhere. I also have the SK version of the flat handle ratchet, but it needs a rebuild kit in it. I did see your other post about the kits. Thank you. And a picture of me in 9 shirts trying to keep warm.

Post by: john k on February 09, 2017, 10:50:21 AM: Now I'm curious, know I have a chisel at least in Artisan. Going to look at the adjustable wrenches, as soon as it gets above 15 degrees, probably colder inside the barn.

Post by: Bad 31 on February 09, 2017, 08:26:52 PM: John, what's the 15 degrees stuff? It was 74 and windy here today. Shorts and a tee shirt. I too will have to start checking other tools closer. I had no idea they made the entire tool line in "Artisan".

I always had the impression that the mosquitoes on the plains had antifreeze for blood.

My Dad had one like this that he inherited from his Dad. Carried it for over 20 years. Last fall he lost it in the field. I sure would like to find a replacement for him. Would you consider selling yours? Is it in good shape? Say $35? I hope that I am not sounding offensive, I know that when I find a little treasure, selling it is not what I am looking to do.
