because old tools are cooler than new ones, and these were the best, imho, as good as, or better than Snap On. Plus, I have a tiny collection of them
I did buy another set, a 1/4 inch ratchet set in a small steel socket wrench set box, that is stamped Plumb Los Angeles, but I forgot to take a picture of it, and the reason for photographing the tools? Just for the insurance company report if they are ever stolen... and good tools are often a target for thieves, as ebay buyers will not care where they came from, just that they can be purchased.
Just went and checked my tool box, no Proto. Mostly Craftsman & S-K, a few odd balls. What a relief! I was afraid the tools I used to make a living with were now collectors items!
ReplyDeleteThey are great. and if you didn't already know, most Proto repair kits will work on Plomb tools—I fixed a Plomb ratchet I found at the bottom of a junk drawer at a yard sale.
