STW stamped tools ?

[EVILDR235]

Over the years i have found several hand tools marked STW. Does the STW stand for Stahlwille ? The sockets look a lot like Snap-On sockets that have the black chemical finish rather than chrome. They seem to be well made as i used some of them at work for years with no problems. My picture person has not got out of school yet, so i can't do a picture.

Unmarked "Walden"?

Fig. 122 shows a 1/2-drive Walden 1116 ratchet with a female drive broaching, marked only "1116 STW" on the knurled handle. The overall length is 10.0 inches, and the finish is chrome plate.

The rather coarse ratchet mechanism uses a 12-tooth drive gear with a cylindrical pawl, very similar to the mechanism in the old Billings Model CA ratchets

I like the looks of this one.

I was always under the impression that STW = Stevens Walden, I could be mistaken.

It may be Stevens Walden. I was just taking a guess at Stahlwille.

STW was a Walden mark
