here is a fantastic display of one collection of each of the cool tool boxes of the two styles of Porta Power, and the middle bullet is the Nugget tool set, which clearly is smaller than the Porta Power

for empty and poor condition ones, various ebay sellers are holding their breath, hoping for 250.00 to 500.00.
this one is on ebay, and at least has good condition and a set of SK sockets with Plumb and Proto wrenches. That's pretty cool, well, compared to an empty. Plumb and Proto are excellent tools, covered here on this blog years ago
and this is what they look like nickle plated and polished

Plumb is the name of a hammer making company that only sold hammers. The company you're referring to is PLOMB with an O.
ReplyDeleteWell, Plumb, Plvmb, and Plomb have all been the way that company HAS represented their name (here, proof: https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2018/02/nice-set-of-plumb.html ) , and yes, I'm aware, educated, and have posted about BOTH companies. I'm even descended from the company founder of the hammer making company - Fayette R. Plumb https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2020/06/you-can-learn-lot-if-you-have-time-to.html
Deleteand since Plvmb used a triangle for the vowel in the word, and there doesn't happen to be a damn triangle on my keyboard, how about you just agree that I'm doing just fine, and YOU don't blog about anything.
