Title: A couple tool finds.
Post by: HeelSpur on June 19, 2016, 01:30:19 PM

I finally found a #81 Keystone adjustable. I now have the 77,79, & 81, are there anymore straight Keystones?
Also found a U50 that is incuse so it matches the UA51 which is also has incuse lettering.
The lettering on my U51 and other U50 are raised so I am guessing the incused ones are supposed to go together. ???

Flea markets mostly, its nice to catch people when they're fed up with the sun and are calling it quits. Prices almost always seem to drop.  :grin:

Found a 1919 "new product announcement"  listing those three numbers & have never seen any other sizes.  Did you have to give "new" price for yours? ($12 a dozen for  the #81).

I paid 5x more than the new price but it was worth it, thanks.
