And my 1/2" drive Bonney SAE collection - in a restored Bonney box! Made a three-tierd shelving system to keep extension, sockets, and ratchet with accessories all neat and tidy.
The box holds three 20" extensions. Put together that lets me reach the bottom of the new AC condensing units (5 feet tall) for the compressor hold-down bolts.

A pic of a ratchet with two of the extensions snapped on next to my (older) unit.
Alot better than killing your gut bending over or try to braze hanging upside down! :a102:

Finally got a Bonney flex ratchet. In 3/8". Only size they made a flex in.

Along with a fairly current family pic for ratchets.

Some more pics!
Here's a Bonney oil filter wrench, and a 1" combo full polish that I originally intended to use for oil changes. (It had a previous owners mark scratched out but the box end (what I was interested in) was pristine). I had so much trouble getting old filters off because most repair shops really torque down on them. I discovered the brand K&N had 1" hex nuts welded onto the bottom of their oil filters. Got a one inch 12 point socket and this one inch combo to deal with that.
The combo cost me $3.

Some "oldies".
Brake service plier and a 1/2" speed handle. I know I've also got a brake spoon tool but can't find the pics.

One you don't see everyday - an old obstruction wrench I no longer have. I was going to turn this into a funky door handle for my shop but someone wanted it, so, off it went.

1 sweet Bonney body hammer
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?
