I saw an ad for this estate sale on Craigslist. I spent $10.25.
This box was full of wood screws, eye bolts and a few of the tools. There were two Craftsman punches, one underlined, a brand new Lufkin folding rule with a brass extension rule and a fold out end hook as well as a very interesting wire cutter and a Dunlop pocket tape measure. There was also a brass hinged boxwood rule and a Yankee screwdriver.

The little Craftsman Pipe wrench is like new and the wire cutters aren't list on AA . Anyone know anything about Mullen & Sons of Chicago? It is probably the coolest tool logo I've ever seen. I actually paid a quarter for the underlined C box. The is also a plastic Stanley Whatsit. It is about an inch and a quarter on all dimensions. It is flat on the bottom and has a V notch in each side. The yellow thing inside is a magnet that hangs on pins. I don't know much about modern Stanley tools.

The cutter with the little man on the pole is a Klein

Believe it or not, that is a low-tech stud-finder. More accurately, it is a nail-head-finder and the user hopes the nail is embedded in a stud...
Not modern though...

Thanks guys,. My eyesight is not as good as I wish it was. Little more cleaning and voila!, M.Klein & Sons it is. It is still a really cool logo.

Ahh I love the Klein pliers......
To this day they still make great pliers expecially there journyman series.

Yes it is. Still in use to this day:

The stud finder is for those buildings that were built with the steel studs.

Thanks, B'man, I'll tuck it away until I move into a double wide.

Or a modern office! Our office is built with steel studs. Hell on a drill when I hit one hanging stuff on the wall!

At last a use for this kind of stud finder! I have one that I bought in the mid-'70s from a general hardware store while I was working on a 1906 house. It was sold as just a stud finder, and there wasn't a lot of steel stud construction 40 years ago. Found it just about useless.

Been there, done that! Got a heavy punch and a couple of metal drilling bits.
