1/2" sets...

I picked this up about six months ago, saw an estate sale sign, thought I would stop in. Went straight to the garage and there were actually good tools there, but I spotted this under a table and knew it was coming home with me. Also picked up a Volvo adjustable by Bahco, the one with the tire lever on the end.

It is not the right breaker bar, it is missing the 3/4 socket and I am not sure which deep sockets it should have (looks to be missing one, with a newer backfill) But if you pull up the tray you get this

Both speeders! And a few DBE's.

So, while I have a few more nice set, what do you have?

[J.A.F.E.]

Nice set! Box looks to be in nice shape and the set looks almost new in the pix. I like the short speeder.

Whats the brand on that set?

[bmwrd0]

Its a Williams #26 from about the end of the war.

Wow, that's quite a set. you did most excellent on that one. That ones a steal regardless of what you paid.

Well, it was YOUR next child! But really it was one of those "Well, it aint cheap, but I have the cash in my pocket..." situations.

Then again, my old man used to wander around on weekends with a couple grand in his pocket in case there were guns...

Here's my Bonney SAE set.

Nice set. Did you cut the foam? I like the way you did it if you did.

Sure did! That's an older Bonney box i modded for 1/2" drive use.
I wanted the three 20" extensions to fit in the box, so made a shelf-like tray with handles to hold them just right, with all the rest of the accessories below. Needed 60" to reach to the bottom of air conditioners to break loose the compressor bolts. Most newer condensing units are 4-5 feet deep!

[J.A.F.E.]

I was wondering about the extensions. Excellent setup. The tray is neat too - well done sir!

Here is my wartime Plomb 5400-OC 1/2” drive set that ended up with plenty of extras.

Very nice d42. Enviable collection you have.

What is the ratchet shown on the first ad? It looks like a round head on my screen but never seen a Plomb roundie.

Some real 1/2" gold there guys!

Thanks. I think it’s the ratchet that’s in my set that looks round due to the angle of the illustration. That’s pretty much the only one they were making during that time frame.

That ratchet is awesome and I figured it was correct but the illustration was confusing. You have all three which to me a major coup! That trio belongs in SK's triple play thread http://garagegazette.com/index.php?topic=427.0

I have one 1/4  - well two one has a female drive with removable plug and one with the drive lug fixed.
