Catalog Bonanza!
« on: September 25, 2018, 06:25:26 PM »
I am sure that some of you have seen this before, but I was going through my links file last night and stumbled on this, having forgotten about it. There are an absolute ton of Tool catalogs here, I downloaded a Williams that I needed, some Herbrand and Cornwells, along with a pair of '50's Kliens (I was a phone man for a while so seeing the different gaffs and telephony tools was nice.) It gets updated all the time so it is worth checking out every once and a while.

Thanks Aaron. I downloaded a 1936 Plomb catalog and found my 3/4dr sockets in there. I could spend plenty of hours on that site.

I just viewed this on my phone. I have to figure out a way to save the link shown in the original post to one of our reference lists if it has not already been done. Tough on a phone to do. If any mods want to assist that would be appreciated.
You boys better hold on cause I'm gonna have to stand on it!

That is so cool, just looked Craftsman stuff from the early 80s, I have tons of that stuff.  Amazing how we have gone from making the finest stuff available to making very little in such a short time.

At first I thought you were asking how to save the link on your phone, yet I didn't see what type of phone, LOL.

twertsy - Thank you. I'd forgotten about the site.

I now have a copy of the Nicholson's 'File Filosphy'.
