king dick
« on: August 29, 2011, 12:23:28 PM »
what a beauty and a bargain to boot..bought this from a dealer at a flea market,obviously not a good dealer,,he wanted £3 for it,,unusually i didnt bother to haggle..
the ratchet is 7 inches long and half inch drive.all parts marked king dick,one of the sockets is a replacement,just a shinier king dick.

benjy,

Could you post a close-up photo of the biggest socket in the set?  I'm curious about the cosmetic details of these vintage sockets. 

Thanks

What are the chances you'll find an original replacement for the newer substituted socket?
