Here’s another blue point. It looks to be late 30’s. It’s a suprem. With a missing e. And another old blue point box end.
Here’s a few snap on sockets that are 39 or 40. The chrome is actually coming off them.
These are Westinghouse brand plyers from the local factory near Pittsburgh.
This is a military midget ratchet I found in a burned out old building. And an extension I got somewhere along the way.
And here is an ignition wrench set. It starts at 1/8th in.
And another old box wrench set.

I have hurt my self with those when they snapp inhalf well the swivel ones.the other one the head ratshit just let go. you never know when thier cycle life is up intill your hurting....up till them all is good. Ive wore out somany crapsmans ratshits I think the innards must of been from china and the handle was made in usa...or possiably the entire thing was made by "Utterly stupid assholes" way back when crapsman was there, they were convenient , not expensive, warrranted. better than the china stuff. but thats about it. most were on the lower scale of quality tools.Imade a very good living using my tools every day for the week for most of my life.Ive wore out more boxend&sockets& spread appart the wrench ends and killed ratshits of crapsmans tools over any other tool 4 to 1. although matco tools wasent much beater.and when you get matco tool warranted the replacement is a cheep ass china made pos.... but yess for the adverage person the crapsmans tools were great. |

Blue Point Supreme Wrench from the 1930s. This is an early one because of the ground sides on the shank.  |

Great idea for a thread.
Found this pair of Vise Grips at a yard sale this summer. Never seen one like this before.
The lower jaw swivels. At first I though it said "Snap-on" but it's "Snap-Lock" and "Seymour Smith".
No date but I'm thinking early 1920's?

1940s is when they started using the Snap Lock name. One of the people that writes about it has some on this company if you are interested. http://progress-is-fine.blogspot.com/2015/02/seymour-smith-snap-cut-secateurs-snap.html?m=1 |
That is so cool. I happen to be in Vermont so it's interesting that part of the company was sold to a Vermont company.
Thank you for the link. Made my day. |
Yeah no problem I find tool history very fascinating I have some tools from the earlier part of the 20th century and during the war time too all which have come from pawn shops you never know what you will find. I have a friend who has some from the end of the 19th century which is cool. |

Lol. I guess it could be used as a square screwdriver maybe. Feels strong.

Here’s my snap-on 1/4in drive set. I bought it at a flea market probably 10 years ago. I know I paid a decent amount for it used. It appears to be from 1981. I love how it has the barrel ratchet and thumb turner. Unfortunately I had the breaker bar replaced. And I seem to be missing the 3/8 down to 1/4 adapter.  I may have to get that on flea bay.

I always store those adapters on the end of one of the extensions
