Show your Proto Sets
« on: August 28, 2018, 10:26:14 PM »
First is a Challenger by Proto 3/8 drive 6pt set. I had found that someone had slipped an off brand one in so I had a Matco 6pt the right length. Set is like new.
Second is a Proto 3/8 drive set. Again like new except for the sockets I added.
Third is a Proto 1/2 drive set. Like new except for sockets I added.

Those are very very nice.

I don't have much Proto, but one of the things is a set of service wrenches. Very handy for hydraulic fittings and other difficult access stuff. I have quite a few Proto punches and chisels. They never disappoint.

I've seen Martin, Bonney, and Wright (I think) of those but never any Proto's. Nice!

Very early Proto 3/8 socket set. most of the pieces are marked Proto LA, but some are stamped Proto/Plomb.

A friend has that box he's trying to sell but he has a whole bunch of Plomb he wants to sell as a group. That is a very hard box to find. And those tools look great in it!

Not really a Proto 3/8 socket set, but it’s predecessor.
