Oily,
I didn't notice this thread sooner. I have TONS and tons of Thorsen tools. I'll send you some pix as soon as I can...maybe even this evening.

Here are pics of what I have.  I found an adjustable and speeder that were in hiding this morning.  The adjustable is 56728 says eurostyle with no COO.  It also has my intials and a funny finish.  I think i used this to experiment with evaporust.  The speeder is 3/8 drive and i can't make out the part # 69-.

AN ADJUSTABLE!  I believe the speeder will be either a 62 or 62J depending on size.  PM inbound on details.

Oily,
I do indeed have lots of Thorsen tools. But I know that if I wait until I finally get all "incoming" tools sorted, and a nice, neat list created to send you, it will be too late for both of us. (the earth may have ended by then. LOL.)

Anyway, following are some photos, to get us started. At least you'll be able to see what my already-sorted Thorsen tools look like, and not think that I am just lying to you. ;-)

Following is a photo of most of my 3/8 drive Thorsen sockets and drive tools. Note that I said, MOST...referring to my already-sorted tools.


Following is a photo of most of my 1/2" drive Thorsen sockets and drive tools.


Following is a photo of my already-sorted Thorsen wrenches:


Next is a photo of a few Thorsen tools which are not yet "filed" in their appropriate tubs:


Finally, here is a photo of my "problem" with making you a nice, neat, concise list of the Thorsen tools that I have available. This shot shows one tub of about 30 such tubs  I have of tools which I have acquired recently, which have been degreased and piled into tubs, but NOT yet sorted by brand name. So I think I will find many more Thorsen tools soon.

Wow.  Everything i had fit in a small flat rate.

Lump,

You do INDEED have lots of Thorsen tools.  I see lots of goodies in your pictures.  I have not yet passed on a open gear Thorsen ratchet and I have no intention of starting today, so if those ratchets are available let's lock that in right away.  I'm hoping those pliers pictured are Thorsen LN6AL or LN8AL pliers.....please let it be and please hide them in a safe if they are.  In the wrench pile I see a rather large combo (with stampings obscured) that I'm hoping is a 2034, 2036, or 2040 (all 3 of which I need).  I suspect there are many others I'm searching for in the pile, but placed on each other such that its impossible to part number match.

PM Inbound to work on details.

PS:  I share your issue with having "incoming" tools sorted.  At this point, I feel fortunate if I have them out of the weather and secure.

Oily,
Ok, I'll hold all Thorsen tools for the moment. Please be patient with me, as I will be spending nearly every waking hour for the next 2.5 weeks setting up my big spring swap meet here in Ohio. It is 129 acres, and nearly sold out, so I will be very lucky if I get it done on time!

Thanks!

Wow, that Thorsen box is a beauty!
And, now I've seen my first Thorsen adjustable. I think I see another one peeking out of that last tub of Lump's. Great stuff!!

I've been piling Thorsen tools in box after box after box for several months now.  I think it's high time to dig them out and make a go at sharing them.  I will work to do that over the next few days.
