Got this little fellow at auction last PM. Don't know when I'll need a corner brace but this 140 struck my fancy. Donnelly had one in his 1999 catalog and he called it rare. Can't be too rare as I caught one and I don't run very fast anymore.
I underpaid on this one and that makes up for the Lowentraut wrench I overpaid for last Friday
Nice!

That's a cool design; I can see how it would be useful in really awkward spaces.
Nice find, Jim!!!!
I would have tried to take that home to if it showed up at an auction around here.
good addition to your collection.
do you remember how the auctioneer described it ?
Sold it with a 50 cent brace and 2 eighteen inch augur bit and called the lot bit braces. Only I and another tool collector entered the bidding (he lost)
Jim, check out e-bay number 382066725066

I would class that as a nice score. :smiley:
They are not very common. I have owned a lot of braces over the years and have only had a few. I don't think I have ever had one that worked right either.
