Title: Sometimes its the simple things that make your day
Post by: skipskip on October 27, 2017, 07:09:50 PM

Found this box at a garage sale today.

Nothing rare nor valuable, but it just struck a note.

I assume Indestro-made?

Very nice. In fact, to nice to use. What drive size is it ? Dual collectability there. Western Auto and Indestro. If the box had wings it would be a contender for a Gold medal. If it were mine, it would sit in the garage and collect dust from my bones.

Very nice Skip. That is the first Chrome X set I have ever seen in its box. Who am I kidding that is the first Chrome X set I have ever seen box or no box.

8 point sockets I see quite often and I own 8 point sockets in 3 drive sizes, but I only own one 8 point wrench. It is a Blue point double box end wrench model DS9078-A for adjusting the brakes on a model A Ford. 7/16 inch X 1/2 inch. Sorry no pictures. Grand daughter / picture poster is not available. Alloy Artifacts was helpful in I.D.ing the wrench and some history on it.

EvilDr235-1/2.

Nice find Skip!  I have a 1/2" set, but no box.
