Notes:
  PWA may appear as "P.W.A.","P-W-A",or PWA
  There may or may not be a dash between PWA and the number.
  These variations might provide makers clues.
  'PW" also stands for Pipe Wrench, and PWA is a known part# prefix
   for some non PWA tools...(Generally followed by a small #)

[The few comments I was able to salvage from the old site, If anyone still has pictures it would help , much of the information about makers is lost, and there is no documentation to support the makers mark notes in the list anymore : ( ]



:m_fumich:

I've seen several PWA1394's besides the Bonney, Plomb, and New Britain style. Here's a pic of the one I saw.

:Tool Pants:

Yesterday at the flea I bought a 3/8" Bonney T35. For some reason I did not notice it had PWA 1394 stamped

on it.

:lauver:

I recently acquired a PWA tool , #1424, which I would describe as a 3/8" drive crowsfoot pin spanner. There are no signs of a makers mark or logo on this tool

:snapmom:

I have some pwa tools that came in with the ride.
PWA 3168 Proto LosAngeles 7/8 spark plug socket. 1/2 dr.
PWA 3267 Proto multi spline socket (has about 36-40 small splines) 3/8 dr.
PWA 1396 extension. no name. 3/8 dr 16 inches long.

:humber:

Bonney Zenel 3725B open jaw 1/2 and 9/16 dull cad plated.

:agmechjake:

Mine looked like the one T56 Impala has pictured only mine had a B circled (Bonney).

:Toolhound:

PWA-2254 is a PLOMB 3/8" drive deep 7/8" socket with thin walls, a square part to the drive end (allows socket to be turned with a wrench), and with an unusual set screw near the drive end...presumably this is a spark plug socket?

PWA-1766 (NOT ON LIST) is also a PLOMB 3/8" drive deep 7/8" socket with thin walls, a square part to the drive end (allows socket to be turned with a wrench), but without the unusual set screw near the drive end...presumably this is a spark plug socket? It is also at least 1/4" shorter than the PWA-2254.

[Papaw]

Glad you reposted that! I don't seem to be able to find much at all from the old site.

[lzenglish]

Cool! Thanks for bringing it back to the site rusty, as it is a very good reference tool.

Rusty:  Just got a load of Plomb stuff from an ebay seller and it had a PWA 1396  3/8" extension in it making me think it is a Plomb despite no Plomb markings on it.  It's like 18" long.  I was searching the PWA 1396 and guess where google sent me?????

Here's the pic of the New Britain made ratchet. It's been posted in my "missing link's thread since May. There's been a Bonney ratchet on eBay from time to time. If I see it again, I'll get a picture of it.

[himart]

I see missing on your tool list a PWA 2043 Snap Ring Plyers for R-2000 engines. The one I have is made by the Hartford Tool and Die Co., Hartford, Conn.   I still use it working on R-2000s. The tool is almost indispencable for taking snap rings off the piston's wrist pin.

Hi, I have a PLOMB marked P-W-A 1396 3/8 extension here in the UK, it's approximately16" long and has a thicker shaft than the usual  PLOMB and WF extensions. I used to use it to undo the fans on Citroen 2CV's in-situe throught the starting handle hole.

[rusty]

Welcome :) Thankyou for the picture :)

>thicker shaft than the usual  PLOMB and WF extensions

Someone else seems to have been making socket/extension tools also,
I see variations from time to time that don't look Plomb like, but I don't know who (Bonney?)

[Manc]

Thanks for the reply, no risk of chrome flakes coming off these tools, which I like.

rusty,

Bonney would be a likely candidate since they supplied sockets, crowsfoots, flairs, and some one-of-a-kind square drive tools. 

Also, recall that Plomb acquired P&C about 1942 to expand military production capacity; it's likely the P&C production at this time would have looked different than the typical Plomb tools.

This is not my copy but I've shown it to show the type of manual that lists the tools required for individual engines.

Wasn't the R-2800 the engine that got put in the F4U Corsair?

[bonneyman]

I have this old PWA wrench (# 4313, at the bottom) that I'd love to know what its use was.
And if you want it for your collection, I'm not married to it.
