If you mean a 3/8" Craftsman ratchet, I'll go for that.  We just bought a new RV, and I'm assembling the toolkit.  I'll send you a private message with my address.

Consider it yours ,then,Bill.
Just boxed it up with your address and I'll send it this weekend.
Been wrenching as long as I can remember...

Bill Houghton

OK, my turn.  Here we've got a set of Goodell-Pratt inside calipers, a set of Starrett outside calipers with a quick-release nut, and a Craftsman drill bit gauge for number drills 1-60, with a tap drill table for screws from #2 to 1/4" (calls out the drill bit size for the clearance hole, too).

No nibbles on my offering of last week.  Here's another attempt.  Your choice of two T-handles or one ratchet.  Details:
1/4" T-handle is a Plomb 4785 (unless that reads [triangle]785 - eyes ain't what they wuz).  The surface is a little oxidized, but not rusty.
1/2" T-handle is a Williams S-20A.  Nice and clean.
1/2" ratchet is an Armstrong S-91.  There's a little rust on the knurling on the handle, and around the head, but it should clean up nicely.  One cool feature: the ratcheting-direction lever has a detent on center, where the drive will freewheel.  Unless this was a bug, I assume it's for those times when the bolt is free-running enough that you can twist the socket with your fingers to speed it in/out.

If you're consumed by lust for all three, and agree to kick a little money Papaw's way to support this neighborhood (amount purely up to your budget), I can send them all.

WOW! Bill, I thought the calipers & drill gage would have been grabbed!! 10 days & no nibbles? now the pot is sweeter with those drivers...
If no one else is interested, I would be happy with either set,  Up to you, what ever is cheaper to ship to Hawaii,
(FYI, Flat rate shipping is same for all U.S. states, so a small box at ~$5.95?)

Oldtools,

Looks like you're the winner.  Yes, I'll be sending whichever package flat rate, and any of them will fit in a flat rate envelope or box, so let me know your preference, and your address - private message maybe best.

Bill

I'll take the Armstrong ratchet if it's still available.

Twertsy,

send me your mailing address in a private message.

This is now two pay-forwards coming from my offering in response to one - it'll be interesting to see how it works out with two running together.

Guys, just want to post a note that I haven't forgotten, just been a hectic week between business and getting our house on the market/searching for a new place.  Plus, this'll be my first PIF posting on this site so I want to make sure it's a good one!  Stand by, give me a couple days to put something together.

Thanks for the patience, Todd.

Thank you Bill, got the gage & calipers, will be posting something soon...
