Title: RI vacation scores
Post by: bunger on July 28, 2015, 09:21:03 AM

While the wife and kids hung out at the beach, I took a ride around southern Rhode Island.
Scored a few things from the Charlestown flea market and the South County Habitat/Restore

Spent about $23 total for all this:

There's a few gems in there including a PLVMB ball pein hammer, PROTO slip joint pliers, the Craftsman cold chisels & punches, the Craftsman complete drill set, the Vise Grips and a Mercedes Benz DOE from Heyco.

Wow!  Lots of good stuff there.  What info is printed on the red handle 4 way driver (or 6 way)?  I can't explain my fascination for these 6 way drivers.  They are really useful in bicycle/motorcycle tool kits as well as the go-to screwdriver for around-the-house work.

Al,
The 6 way driver is marked on the handle - "Performance Tool (with reg. trademark - circle R) 6 in 1" on one side
and "W975" on the other side.

I have an obsession for these too. I have one in each of my vehicle's glove box and a few tucked away around the house. They are great for a quick use.

Cool!  Now all you need to do is find the Mercedes that wrench goes with.
