Some highlights from the weekend raiding of the flea market/yard sales

[dimwittedmoose51]

These first three photos would be the Thursday and part of the Friday stuff.  I still have to unpack and photograph the Late Friday and Saturday stuff. 

From left to right:
NAPA female torx  sockets (Oddly enough, I don't have any of these for my worker tool box)
Indestro 2372  3/4" Ratchet(swapped 4 Chinese 3" C clamps and $10 for this jewel)  Anyone care to guess how that 1/2" bow was put in the handle??  No stress marks or damage to the handle plating, so a cheater pipe is unlikely.  Question 2.:  Any ideas on how to straighten it back?  I think it will work okay as it is though.  A tool that will smile at me all day, if nothing else.
V-series 3/8"-1/4" adapter
No name of same size, but  with all the knurliing, there's  no place for the logo...any clues folks??
NAPA NS 23 1/2" extension(head is mushroomed a bit)  maybe 1.5" in length.
1/2" OTC Speeder  H-183
Thorsen torsion Link socket  574
Nail gouge/starter...no name
No name screwdriver kit
Craft deep wall socket 40420 12 pt  5/8"
Bledsoe Pliers
Wilde Wrench 6"(pat. applied for in 1928  approved in '31)

TIA

In my experience I would say a cheater is the only likely way that handle was bent.  If it were quality plating I don't believe it would necessarily crack or flake.  My 2c - I would treat it like a sore body part and not screw with it - putting it back as a user.   

Nice find on that draglink socket.

The bottom driver - Is that the Champion driver or is the top driver at the bottom the Champion.

I ask because I have a mate to the lower driver, and I've been unable to ID as the markings are nearly gone.

[dimwittedmoose51]

Shorter one is the Champion  the longer one with the horizontal grooves in it is the Disston.  Both newbies to my S-driver collection.  The "Champion" on mine was on the shank, not on the wood, if that helps locate it....

...and closeups....

[jimwrench]

 Guy that bent your rat has been around here also. Plan to try to straighten this one in vise as I have no use for it in this shape.

[dimwittedmoose51]

Jim:  At least you have a 1/2" to straighten,  I think a hydraulic press that lives down the street may get a call tomorrow....lol

He was probably trying to unscrew something....

[jimwrench]

 I thought the British were famous for understating things.

[oldtools]

Strange!  both are bent Clockwise? tightening something with a cheater bar?

[EVILDR235]

I wonder if your big ratchet got ran over while laying in some grass or dirt. I have a Craftsman 3/4 inch breaker bar that got bent when it was laying in someones yard. Then they tried to straighten it by heating it up with a torch and made it even worse. No it was not me, but i know who did it. Laying on the grass it was unsported and bent in a U shape.

Can't imagine any vehilce weighing enough to put that kind of bend in the handle, but then Mythbusters hasn't been called yet.....lol
