Indestro and miller's falls is great brands Indestro ratchets and sockets are great they were made in Chicago Illinois just like S-K they where affordable good quality tools

@@Donthetoolman ty for the info, love your channel!

You're welcome my friend glad you love it I appreciate it

The ones on Amazon probably are sk China made sockets by great star I'm assuming some people say the quality is there but others are disappointed in the quality I for one have no experience with Chinese sk products unfortunately but in my opinion vintage sk is the best

@jefftovani5535 you're welcome my friend to find a whole matching set in metric might take a lifetime

@westhighlandsshop I combine them for now I don't have a complete set of any brand when it comes to sockets and wrenches I could if I went the ebay route probably but I try to avoid it as much as I can it's more fun to find them in the wild and my wallet thanks me lol thanks for watching my friend

@RockIsland1913 thanks for that info my friend yeah I hear ya on memory I often forget things you're right lectrolite and tru fit are good brands I have a Tru Fit wrench from the 30s it's 7/16 and it is very snug on a bolt so when they called their tools Tru Fit they weren't lieing thanks for watching take care my friend

@Uwannawatch thanks I appreciate it brother I got some stuff to send to you

@JefferyBurchett ill keep on the lookout thanks for watching my friend

@mlieser1230 I agree the craftsman raised panels are sharp around the edges that's one thing that I didn't like about craftsman don't get me wrong they are a good looking wrenches design and the fitment of the older craftsman wrenches are spot on and they work great just a wrench I would use on quick jobs due to the sharpness of the raised panel

@donwendling7800 I think I have only one proto challenger wrench and it's 14mm I like them satin finish wrenches for sure I would be definitely interested Don

I agree thanks for watching my friend take care

Hell yeah brother USA forever the best nation in the world

Thanks brother

Thanks my friend I appreciate it

Thanks for the info it's good to see they uphold the warranty thanks for watching my friend

Thanks I'll try to keep them coming my friend

They really are convenient Jeff that's for sure every tool box needs one in my opinion I've really changed my views over the years on 1/4 inch drives they do have a purpose after all wish the young me would of realized that lol so many jobs would have been much easier with the little 1/4 inches probably would have eliminated removing a bunch of parts to get to what needed to be replaced thanks for watching my friend

I think the red and blue and I can't remember all the colors lol are the aluminum ones it is a nice one tor the collection I'm planning on doing my entire ratchet collection here soon it's not much maybe 20 but it will be neat i think thanks for watching my friend

I just noticed I got the part # backasswards in thr description it should be 964a instead of 946a lol thanks for watching my friend

You're welcome my friend thanks for watching

It sure is Dale glad I found it thanks for watching my friend

Thanks my friend I think so also most my tools are vintage USA and I prefer it to be that way but modern tools you just have a limited choice of USA products especially automotive tools which is sad so if I do buy something overseas I watch youtube tool reviews and get what I need to make my decision on what I'm going to spend my money on the quality has gotten alot better with overseas tools since the 80s but every now and then you get a paperweight unfortunately I just wish we had more USA tool manufacturers to choose from its sad how corporate greed has destroyed this country they have definitely destroyed the Middle class and eventually they will put us all in the same boat

@@Donthetoolman I couldn't agree more!

You're welcome my friend

Thanks Jeff for your take on it yeah I'm not going to use it as much as I'd love too it's been in that condition for 50 years it would be really cool if it could go another 50 in that condition a shadow box is a great idea thanks for watching my friend take care

Thanks Jeff it really helps when you grew up using these tool brands if I didn't they would just be names on tools and would look like anything else out there so that helps but these vintage tools are becoming more scarce as time goes on unfortunately, brands you'll never see again that's why I like doing this to get history out there I know it's not important to some and that's ok different strokes for different folks as they say but I still think it's important for this younger generation to know that we had great USA tool brands out there and how corporate greed has destroyed these once great American tool companies thanks for watching my friend take care

It hasn't been I was the first to take it out of the package I'm debating on using it I can't make up my mind I do like it very smooth thanks for watching my friend

I'll try that you might be on to something thanks for watching my friend

I agree new Britain was ahead of their time nobody else even ventured to copy the design sk was the most copied round head mechanism I'm assuming because it's cheaper to make that design as opposed to new Britain's design but I agree even with 46 teeth it still feels just as smooth as a 90 tooth thanks for watching my friend take care

Thanks for sharing that new Britain husky are nice anything new Britain for that fact is

I have a 1/2" drive HUSKY USA with the black finish, non quick release. Thanks for the video

You're welcome my friend ​@91Z50

Yeah 2 dollars for a funky wrench I get ya George you're like me when it comes to something odd you just got to have it and learn all you can about it take care brother

It is kina odd for sure I have never seen one like it thanks for watching my friend

It sure was I didn't have much time they were about to close so who knows what I left behind but I think I got a few goodies thanks for watching my friend

Strange wrench, need to find more history on it. Thanks for sharing

You can't go wrong with sk for sure and indestro is right behind them I love these old gems thanks for watching my friend

I do too my friend when I had that same ratchet in use from my grandfather it was my baby along with the Williams s53 thanks for watching my friend I appreciate it

That's cool I'm glad my video sparked an interest in you wanting to give your father's set some attention it will be well worth it if you do thanks for watching my friend

@@Donthetoolman his set resides in an 80’s Craftsman 20” or so gray painted tool box with the red lift out tray. It was in a blue flip open metal box originally.

@Snowmannorth that's cool vintage USA craftsman is becoming gold especially now that craftsman went overseas

Thanks Jeff you just don't find indestro ratchets at yard sales and these ratchets can be kinds hard to find on ebay once in a blue moon they pop up that's how I got this one just had to be patient thanks for watching my friend

You're welcome Jeff they do have some miles on them for sure thanks for watching

I'll do my best I'm planning on buying another set to see if it's going to be the same deal that one is in my car for good the other set will be in My collection

Thanks Jeff it sure is I was really happy about the Harry j epstein pliers sheath

You're welcome George I know how much you love Kraeuter brother and I can't wait to see your collection I know them s wrenches you got are beautiful thanks for watching brother take care

Yes it is I might make a few mods to it someday for mechanics work lol thanks for watching my friend

That's what I'm thinking Dresser made some for jc penny Kraeuter has been around for over a century but no longer they where better known for their pliers at the time these sockets were made Kraeuter was just a name they had stamped on them unfortunately thanks for watching my friend
