Plomb torque wrench, Williams H-51, and a few others
« on: July 03, 2013, 04:18:14 PM »
I stopped by my local honey hole today to pickup a Williams H-51 ratchet I had passed on a few weeks ago.  I presumed the man would want to much for it, as it was up front on display at his place.  I could not just walk in and pickup a ratchet I want and walk out paying for it...NO.  I felt like I could get more value in volume (I have this issue everywhere).  I went on a dig and I'm glad I did.  It cost me a couple lunches to get out, but what I found included:

A H.K Porter 12X-1855 bolt cutters with a slight bend on one of the handles.  I wanted this for a wall hanger.
Williams H-51 3/4" drive ratchet
Plvmb 5202 1/2" drive torque wrench
Underline C Craftsman Vanadium 11/16 x 5/8 DBE
VACO P202 - 24" long #2 Phillips driver
Ford wrench, a few other V series craftsman wrenches, and a few challenger wrenches.



Happy 4th.  May your belly be full of backyard BBQ.

Nice haul! Guess that's what you get for looking too closely... ;^)

That is a very nice handful of tools.  What really amazes me is that there is still wall space for a wall hanger!  Got the same series ratchet in 1/2 in.

Nice pile 'o stuff!   It pays to do some "digging".
There was a time when I would have fought over that 2 foot long #2 phillips. (I've since secured a Pratt-Read version). Those come in handy every once in a while for that buried screw.

Thats for sure, love that long handle, when you hear the snap you know you finally got it loose
Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.
