Good lot!! Those offsets usually follow me home , too!

It is real. Papawskid can probably grant membership once you provide evidence of a perfect handle screwdriver restoration.  Before and after pics required.

Today's estate sale buy. Two sets of Craftsman offset screwdrivers, a macbinist level ,two beefy cold chisels, a marking knife, a battery terminal puller, a small Cinncinnati Tool clamp, an adjustable  angle clamp, and some more tiny screwdrivers for the collection.

title.  it has intrigued me greatly 

I love old locking pliers that are not made by vice-grip. there were many interesting designs

I think x-acto made these many years ago. But it is a very outdated design, and not preferred for medical use due to the fact that It is hard to clean compared to a regular scalpel. I cannot say what x-acto was thinking with this design, but it's very hard to find the blades. I've felt the same when I find cool old utility knives! Blades are always hard to find. I had an old brass furrier knife with one dull and unusual blade. My plan was to purchase a modern blade with a similar shape and then bore the correct holes so that it locks into place.

Love the Stanley !!

Hi Jim, 

Yes. Type 9. Mine is missing the patent info to make it a type 8.

Thanks!

Hey Yadda,

Thanks for stopping by the thread.  Take another look at your ratchet and compare it to the Type 9.  I think you'll see that it fits more closely to the Type 9 category.
