Title: Plomb torque wrench, Williams H-51, and a few others
Post by: OilyRascal on July 03, 2013, 04:18:14 PM
I stopped by my local honey hole today to pickup a Williams H-51 ratchet I had passed on a few weeks ago.  I presumed the man would want to much for it, as it was up front on display at his place.  I could not just walk in and pickup a ratchet I want and walk out paying for it...NO.  I felt like I could get more value in volume (I have this issue everywhere).  I went on a dig and I'm glad I did.  It cost me a couple lunches to get out, but what I found included:

A H.K Porter 12X-1855 bolt cutters with a slight bend on one of the handles.  I wanted this for a wall hanger.
Williams H-51 3/4" drive ratchet
Plvmb 5202 1/2" drive torque wrench
Underline C Craftsman Vanadium 11/16 x 5/8 DBE
VACO P202 - 24" long #2 Phillips driver
Ford wrench, a few other V series craftsman wrenches, and a few challenger wrenches.

Happy 4th.  May your belly be full of backyard BBQ.

Nice haul! Guess that's what you get for looking too closely... ;^)

That is a very nice handful of tools.  What really amazes me is that there is still wall space for a wall hanger!  Got the same series ratchet in 1/2 in.

Nice pile 'o stuff!   It pays to do some "digging".
There was a time when I would have fought over that 2 foot long #2 phillips. (I've since secured a Pratt-Read version). Those come in handy every once in a while for that buried screw.

Thats for sure, love that long handle, when you hear the snap you know you finally got it loose
