I've devellopeda good relationship with a few of the fellow Auction regulars and one guy in particular doesn't mind picking up old mechanics tools for me at auctions and yard sales when I reciprocate and find him cool old woodworking stuff he collects.  He knows WAY more  about mechanics tools than I'll ever know about woodworking stuff, so I may be getting the better end of the deal, but then that's what cell phones are for.

These came from a couple of yard sales i couldn't make due to work obligations and perhaps an auction or two.  Just for grins, I'm gong to go Hebrew  tonight and go right to left....well, not really.....
Right side:
Williams S-1A 1/2" Drive set with the S-52 Rat...and in pretty good shape
Bonney  A-702K 1/2" Rat
Powr Kraft #100 1/2" dr. rat(never seen one this old before) D-84  4860R also on it....
PowrKraft  84W 4843   3/8" dr. rat wit ha "56" further down the handle...not sure if this one was spozed to have a tootsie roll handle on it or not.  The handle is pretty short even for that.
Two PowrKraft Screwdrivers with tinges of red o nthe handle instead of the blue I'm used to seeing.
PowrKraft DOE in pretty good shape
Husky 1/2" ext.  CS-20
3   4" adjustables;  A Diamond Calk, A Diamalloy, and an Crestalloy,  all funcitonal and in pretty good shape.

Middle is the Craftsman Stuff:
4 V series sockets
1/2" extgension
H- Series 1/2" flexover
3/8"" V Series Flexhead42791(peerhaps the real "catch" of the whole lot....
Alignment/Prybar

Left Side:
Nearly Complete SK Wayne 1/2" Dr. set wit ha warped box and mucho duct tape residue to clean off of it.
Really vintage SK 14" socket set but missing the rat(if one even existed back then)
Socket bits:
1 MAC impact swivel
2 Proto
2 Plombs2 Bonneys
2 Thorsens
4 Wildes
2 Fleets
1 None Better B-11
1 Armalloy
1 Walden Wooster
1 Challenger
Another Thorsen and a Wizard(Oily's row....lol)
10 PowrKraft
5 Indestros

I gave him $80 for the whole mess and that C-man flex head will bring about half that back.

The Williams set is nice, and nice to see together.  I appreciate you always thinking of me Thorsen :)

Though not a big fan of Bonney ratchets, I have one of those A-702K's - and it's a brute!

Rebuild kits aren't available for it, but, it'll never break so long as you don't put a 5' cheater pipe on it.

That's a sweet Williams set. As oily said its nice to see it complete.
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
