I have a feeling Oilyrascalal already has at least one of each. If he didn't he probably had to place a bid.

Please don't mistake this as ungrateful.  I very much appreciated the FYI (or head's up), as always.

on the first - the seller has it bad wrong.  The ratchet isn't rare.  Unless you consider the open gear cover missing and the spread at the working end rare.  It may be desired by someone, but not me.

the second - "Vintage" what?  Apparently I can answer that when the seller can't.  It has significant chrome loss - nearly all of it.  Again, the cover is missing that would be over the open gears.

And the T-100 Torque wrench - $50 + shipping - REALLY?  Very over priced IMO.  A $4 pawn find for me.
