Stopped by a nice estate sale this afternoon.  Passed on a couple of tool boxes.  Might stop by on Sat. to see if they are on sale.
Picked up a(nother) Ford OE in 5/8 by 9/16 by Moore.
A Blackhawk laminated one way ratchet in 11/16.  It is a 4222X, one ended, likely an aftermarket transmission band wrench from the 20's.  I see a 4222 on the web with one box end and one ratcheting end, but nothing about the 4222X.
A nice Millers Falls mantle type steel inclinometer.  The bubble is good and all the parts move smoothly and come apart for cleaning.
Then off to the pawn shop, one I haven't seen for a year or more.  Three or four trays of real mixed junk.  It looks like the tools were dropped from a high place.  Nothing of interest there. 
And so I tried the pricier stuff in the display case.  There in the bottom, I saw a crisp matched pair of little WF Plvmb ratchets.  They were tagged as 1/4" at $25 each.  I just had to look. 
I asked the young fellow to pull them for inspection.  Unfortunately, they were WF 8's.  Nice ones, but still, not WF 8 S's.  I explained the difference to the young fellow--who was wearing a striking trucker's cap with 2" chrome spikes protruding from it.  He did not seem to grasp. 
I asked him to try to fit them onto a 1/4" socket, but he didn't have any luck.  Told him that if they had really been 1/4", I would have gladly bought them both. 
I don't think he ever spoke a word.  He likely thought I was touched.  If so, he could be right.
The search goes on.

Somebody must collect 9/32 drive tools out there. Over the years i have had Plomb, Snap-On and Williams 9/32 drive tools. I wonder how many 9/32 drive tools wound up in the dumpster because someone did not know their history. I probably have more in the size and don't know it.

I've found 9/32" tools with 1/4"  sockets pressed on so hard I couldnt pull them off, except by prying them with a driver from one side to the other.   Others ground down to fit 1/4" sockets. One ratchet with a ground down extension.

It can be hard to identify the sockets, they are barely loose on 1/4" drive tools. I imagine I have a few in with 1/4" socket sets.

Seems to me that 9/32" tools are tge easiest Plomb WF tools to find.

Many years ago i picked up a William's ratchet in 9/32 drive. I didn't know the history on 9/32 drive tools. I ground down 3 sides of it so i could use 1/4 inch sockets on it. A few years ago somebody on the this tool forum bought it.

During more than forty years of tool collecting I found this 9/32" drive tools:
Socket set with a mismash of sockets by Britool, Snap-on, Proto and Walter, Britool Sliding T Bar M70, Britool Handle M50, two Britool Adaptors marked /I\ 93, Snap-on Speeder M-44 and a flexible extension without brand.

Plomb WF-7 flex-head handle.

Before I knew about the collectors status of the WF-8's, I modified one to 1/4" drive by drilling out the 9/32" knuckle and inserting a hex to square adapter.  Works great!

Pretty clever bonneyman.
