Could not pass it up. Made by Cragstan in Hong Kong. Oh and apologies now for the Japanese wrenches below - I like them, and use them.
The plane came from Come Again, a second hand store north of Syracuse, a very small store but half the store is tools.
Spid (brand) brush with brass plated steel wires. The socket is square on both sides, but is not a "square socket", it's some kind of joining piece. What is it?
Dunlop pliers - must be blasting pliers.
Three magnetic screwdrivers - I am trying to find better quality magnetics. I'm looking for a strong magnet, lots of storage in the handle, and a very precise well made cap. Not sure any of these are winners, but maybe the yellow handle job. Black handle driver is Magna-Tip Corp. Buffalo, NY.
Craftsman bar and box wrench in 6mm x 8mm.
No name driver - only the number on the handle...
On to the next stop - an estate sale in a Syracuse warehouse.
Rusty S-K socket tray. Toy tools - Slikka from England.
Two flashlights - working! with batteries - the big one is a Bright Star, made in USA.
1/2" Fuller (Japan) combo completes my set at work now 3/8" thru 5/8".
A.B.C. (Japan) double open ends, 3/8 x 7/16 and 1/2 x 9/16. Beautifully made and well plated. I have a small set of metrics.
Blue-Point Box-socket wrenches in 3/8 and 7/16.
1/2, 9/16 and 5/8 long tappet(?) adjusters - the 1/2 wrench has very small stamp on handle "Indestro Corp Chicago". The wrench heads are marked "Super Quality". They are also stamped on head "LT-16" , 18 and 20.
Oh yeah, there's an 11/16 deep socket, Craftsman, that I want to try on these weird Kohler spark plugs at work. I thought they were 18mm, so I bought an inexpensive 18mm socket, but it seems to be a loose fit. 17mm will not fit but 11/16 will fit.
Made in England toy tools, nicely cast in zinc or zamac, the adjustable wrench works very well. DCMT, Ltd., later known as Lone Star Products the company made a lot of cap guns.
A nice day out, sunny for a change, still cold but not bitter cold.
