Chilly I'll take the Japanese Craftsman wrench set. I can give it a good home, and find something around here to put up in return.

Damn I love that punch set.

+1 It is nice. Really like that hand-made box. At least it looks home made out of galvanized.

Well, if it is home made, they re used the die holder, mine looks just like it. Fantastic tool. I love mine.

My bad guys sorry it took so long. Chilly PM me to let me know he is still putting my package together. Looking forward to that, and will post pics of it when it comes as I promised him I would.

Now for my offering, it is not much, but I hope someone wants it. It is a Proto Professional 5449 1/2 ratchet. I hope one of you guys would give it a nice home. I cleaned and lubed it, it's ready to go to work. Any takers.

Beautiful ratchet, Okie.

You did very good there.

Did it star in any of your videos?

Chilly

( BTW, so everyone knows - I took some time to fill the medium flat rate box. ( I try to take advantage of the shipping)  I hope the wait was worth it....

Maybe I'll use that the next time. Maybe I'll use it to sweeten the pot sometime.

I bought a new one 4 yrs ago from Rio Grande for ~$36 - the Whitney brand is tops in my use and this one is the best of the 3 I have gained since I bought the new one.

IMHO the prize lot was the pliers. Nobody makes them better than Lindstrom - I've bought new Lindstrom pliers and paid over $65 for the pair. They must think that they are pretty good, also.

Yeah, the pliers were the lot I was thinking about snapping up :P But, pliers are the one tool I abuse, and I would have destroyed them... Didn't seem right to do that to those.

OkieTools

Yes Chilly it was in one of my how to videos. Yes sir based off of what you have told me it will be well worth the wait.

Well got the package in the mail from Chilly yesterday. Chilly your generosity is fare to much Sir. I can not thank you enough. As promised pics of the goodies.


I originally selected the ten Japanese Craftsman SAE combo wrenches. But Chilly also sent me; five pliers, three vise grips, drill bit stand witch I already put some of my drill bits in, a international harvester socket, a Ace professional 3/8 ratchet, a Plomb wright field 3/8 ratchet, a neat socket wheel with handle, and two cool Geodes. Again thank you so much Chilly.
