Rock on, Brother!



I still have my first ratchet and most of the socket set, and I still use them.

Craftsman?

Craftsman?

Ok, the guessing begins. I am gonna guess S-K or Proto.

I know right? where did you get your catch can, looks good

Thank ya. I got it from catchcans.com. Bought it for a past project about 12 years ago in a group purchase on another forum. They're currently $85, but the ~$15-$20 ones on Amazon perform the same, just with a smaller capacity reservoir.

Craftsman?

No. I could not afford Craftsman back then, when I bought my first ratchet and socket set. It was just a cheap no-name set made in Japan (the China of my time for cheap imports), and it is all the more amazing that most of it has survived for over 50 years.

Mine was a no-name brand as well. TAT made in Korea. Have had it for 40 years now. I do have all the sockets still, the one missing in the rail is currently being used by my son in his effort to fix a snowblower.

Thanks for the welcome, I have been a member for awhile but just now starting to participate.

Welcome Jerry!

Thanks for the welcome, we road tripped to your area over Thanksgiving to Princeton, NJ to visit inlaws. Took them to Prax in Philly a couple of times. They liked it better than Atlantic City.
