Title: Portland Swap Meet finds
Post by: Hm Wrench on April 15, 2012, 09:37:06 PM: The Portland swap meet score
If you never been to the Portland Swap Meet, you should check it out. There were some great deals to be had. I am currently running for an award and have had a first in my life, please see the last photo in this post. The ratchet came with a cornwell socket and it cost 50 cents.

Found quite a bit including two flat King Dick wrenches, a pair of Vlcheck pliers, a Pair of TW English pliers, a pair of Ford Pliers, a Stanley Chisel,

Post by: Hm Wrench on April 16, 2012, 08:10:13 PM: This is the first time I have seen them in the wild as well. I assume there is only 8 wrenches in the set , as the 3/8 is marked is 2031 and the 15/16 is marked 2039.

Thanks,
Kirk

Post by: amecks on May 04, 2021, 07:43:19 PM: Lots of great stuff! I did not know that TW (T Williams) made pliers. Something to watch for. I have a complete set of TW Superslim BSF/Whitworth wrenches and the complete set of offset box end wrenches (chrome).

Yeah, now you've gotta fill it!

I'm two pieces away from filling mine.

BTW, where is the Portland swap meet? I was there two summers in a row and likely missed it.
