More great stuff from everybody here. I really like the Wright set Cruiser.

This Proto Flying Lady 4796 box is housing my go to SAE set in 1/4. I took the basic set and added tools that I need to do required work on projects. I found and included some Plomb midget DBE wrenches that have been invaluable in many cases.

That looks like the perfect set, I can't think of anything I would add to such a set if it was mine.

Hickory n Steel sent me this 9/32dr Plomb extension so my CM midget set doesn't look incomplete anymore. It is a WF-5 and 5-1/2" OAL and has a small capital "A" after the "5" which I imagine is the date code. This will fill in until I locate the elusive Craftsman C-95 6" extension. Thanks HnS.

Hi H&S, it took quite a while for me to put it together. You can put together the same thing by being patient and persistent. Check all the swap meets, garage sales, Craig’s list and eBay. With time, you’ll be there. It’s fun too. Good luck to you, my friend.

I may eventually want a larger more inclusive set at some point, and when I do this may be the kind of set I come up with.

Good to see it make an appearance, and I'm glad it'll make a good filler for now.
Good catch on the A, I'm not sure I ever noticed it.

Not enough odd-balls here, especially those dressed in black!

But what is in those cases? Surely something normal?

Well, Krauter is normal, sort of, right?
(
(Well, its all Krauter except the universal and one of the sockets...)

Wait, what does that say? Hinsdale? (I know, its 9/32. Wadda you gonna do...) pretty rare!

What the heck is that?
(PEC - Products Equipment Company. They make measuring equipment. Still around but no sets like this. I threw the Snap-on industrial M70 in because it looked perfect. It sits in one of my machinist chests, as I am sure it did before.)

That PEC breaker bar looks like it has a nice large grip for it's size.
That Kreauter ratchet looks awesome as well.

The Kraueter is an interesting design but in all honesty not the most comfortable to use especially for long periods of time.
People who confuse etymology and entomology bug me in ways I can’t put into words.

Is the handle fluted down the center or something ?

Yes and I don't really care to use the 3/8 ratchet I have.
