Scoutcrafter thanks for making this video. I picked up a whole snapon tool box full of tools from a coworker of mine and it was full of Walden tools. It included 2 sets of sockets like yours made by Walden in leather cases! The cases need to be fixed but these tools or any tool from Massachusetts are wonderful to me since I grew up in Boston. Thanks again.
That is absolutely beautiful. Great history right there. I love the pass though technology that's 100 years old. Nice display for the video. Pretty cool.
Greetings from the Uk ... just found your channel this weekend,great stuff .... That socket set is just excellent. Just goes to show that just because we are ‘modern’ we’re not necessarily making better stuff. ( now thinking about all those “old rusty tools” i’ve thrown out over the years!) ......
Hello Ookami! Yes I agree 100 percent! I recently bought a vintage screwdriver set because the distributer of the set was in the next town to me. It must have been nice when we had so many manufacturing facilities right here, before globalization went too far. Thanks very much!!
That is awesome!!!! Man I tell ya, you have some nice stuff. I've been binge watching your videos and just when I thought I watched them all a different one pops up.
Hello Nicolas! They aren't as good as the stuff they make today but they sure were cool looking! Lot's of tools today just don't look "cool"... I remember as a kid going into my Great Grandfathers Barn, everything in there I wanted to touch! I wanted to try it out and play with it... Stuff today just doesn't draw you to it like that! Thanks very much!!!!
berzerkzero- I think your right- those universal sockets fit multiple nuts, but not correctly! Universal tools usually always have more short comings then merits. Thanks much for commenting! 😃👍
Lifes Journeyman- Even though I don’t use my set on a regular basis, it’s nice to pull it out once and a while when I work on some antique piece of machinery... They are fun to look at- that’s for sure! Thanks! 😃👍
My chrome Proto 3/4" ratchet wrench is square pass through with a selector switch. I bought a 3/4" anvil for it. But, now I suspect that the Proto may have come with square drive sockets. You have an elegant tool set. Fine video.
hello john nice set i was looking on Google for some information on the set i got from matt at just wrench it and i found your video i will be trying to get a video of my own in the next few days mine looks like 2 different sets and the extension has a bit of a twist to it
Cool old set. Was it from the same company as Mossberg firearms. I know I've seen some Winchester tools and such. That set was ahead of it's time in a way with being able to have a long bolt go through the socket. I know they make or made a more modern set that did that but I can't remember the name. I wanted a set of them back when I did sheet metal work. When we hung larger duct work we used the threaded rod to help hang it so it would have been handy.
Hello Ben! Those old sets were really well made for the time! That swivel U joint is awesome! They had some crazy sizes too! I used to own a Mossberg 500 until Governor Cuomo made it illegal overnight... Thanks very much!!!!!
27/32" socket may have had applications in the old days, but it would probably fit on plumbing fixtures today, as well. They often seem to do that on plumbing parts to keep the homeowner from doing his own work. That U-joint looks smooth, but it's kinda large and may prevent it's use in some situations. They made tools clunkier back in the day, as working space in an engine compartment was free and open. It might be difficult using that set in one of today's cars.
Hello Steve! It's obvious you know your tools! These older sets are really fun to look at but nothing beats today's technology... I too got a kick out of that U-Joint! looks strong enough to power a small machine! lol Can you imagine working on your car today and yelling over to a friend "Hand me a 27/32"!" =D Thanks very much!!!!!!
Hi Mike, I bought an old tractor and they had quite a few square nuts and plugs so I figured I could use these. You know your working on old stuff when you encounter square nuts! 😃👍
Hell, Ive been going to the wrong flea markets - nice stuff. Tell the youngin's not to be laughing at those stamped sockets. Those sockets are made of something they might have never seen, high quality steel and they can really pull the load.
Hello James, it’s funny but when I first saw these sockets I used a regular modern ratchet not knowing about the original style. I doubt these sockets can compare strength wise to modern sockets but they sure are cool! 😃👍. Thanks!
Its a genius idea to mske it 1/2 sq inside drive and 3/4 outside and pass through. Pass through has seen a resuregence lately but no standard has caught on, i guess snap on must have stolen the 1/2,size when they invented the 1/2 3/8 1/4 we see now. Ine the uk we had hexagon drive and thus you had large hex keys to drive the tools, ratchets came way later and used the ratchets that came on car jacks initially
Hello Jusb1066! I know you know tools so you must also find it funny when current manufacturers advertise "New Technology" that was invented many years ago! Every new generation are potential customers for rehashed ideas! Thanks! 😃👍
i have only one 'odd' set of tools, a set of britool 5/16 sq drive sockets and a ratchet, a set of BA 0-10 sockets , which i picked up one at a time over several years of boot sales in the uk for about 5 pence each, just for the challenge of finding something so weird
Jusb1066 - 5/16 drive? That's unusual! I'm sure the fractional sizing of USA tooling must be a pain in the butt compared to metric. Didn't you guys have Wentworth or something years back? 😃
yes we had whitworth, my bsa bantam was a combination of: whitworth, national fine, national coarse, BA, cycle threads, a couple of BSPT taper pipe threads, and modern part replacements were metric...... i have since gone all metric and sold off my older tools!
I found one of those sockets on the streets and at the time I didn't know it was a tool . It look like a tool but I wasn't sure and I threw it back on the side of the road
Is the L-handle the original one ? I would have expected it to be square bar as was the T-handle.? Hope you find the missing sockets,maybe the "Alloy Artifacts" fellow could help you there..would be nice if you could clean the box up a bit and make a reproduction lid for it,based on pictures from that old advert you showed..
Hello Eliseo! I don't think they are very valuable... The newer sockets are much superior to these but they are still very interesting!!!!! Thanks!!!!!
I found one on the streets but it seam very frigil and didn't know if it was or not but after seeing your collection it was a socket . But I threw it back on the side of the road I feel bad that I did that but is gone

Thanks wyattoneable! I love stuff that was made to last! 😃👍
This time I was drooling. So cool, especially the square sockets.
Using an online inflation calculator, $13.00 in 1920 equates to $168.76 in 2018 dollars. Wow.
I love old tools. I have my Great Grandfathers tool chest and I’m a girl. Lol
A family heirloom ,indeed.
My grandfather gave me the same set. It was his dad's. Amazing it still works perfectly
Greetings from the Uk ... just found your channel this weekend,great stuff ....

Really cool old set, you got there. I never seen anything like it.
Thanks, for sharing. :)
I live right near Attleboro. Always nice to see something locally made.

THANK YOU...for sharing. Nice set.
That's a beautiful piece of history you have there. Take care of it.
Great video looks like an amazing set to own keep up the great work
Thanks David! Glad you enjoyed! 😃👍
Just got one of these. Boxed with hinged top
God i whant it.

Nice set. I think that universal socket works better than today's universal sockets.

Very cool set .
Hi Dave! Thanks!
I have a set like that in a metal case. Nice thanks

wow that is cool!
Never seen a socket for square nuts. I could have used one of those a few times. Thanks for the video.
Hi Mike, I bought an old tractor and they had quite a few square nuts and plugs so I figured I could use these. You know your working on old stuff when you encounter square nuts! 😃👍
I have some sockets, Craftsman makes at least 5 different sizes...
www.amazon.com/Craftsman-Drive-Piece-Square-Socket/dp/B01N9GNM0F
8 point sockets are for square nuts. some lawn mower oil plugs are square. hope this helps
See a tool I never seen before and a history lesson.
Hell, Ive been going to the wrong flea markets - nice stuff. Tell the youngin's not to be laughing at those stamped sockets. Those sockets are made of something they might have never seen, high quality steel and they can really pull the load.
Hello Ricopolico! The best buys are at the Tractor shows! I love going to them... Nicest people you will ever meet! Thanks very much!!! 😃👍
Scoutcrafter - Thanks for the heads up, there's a big steam tractor meet nearby each fall.
Ricopolico - I promise you will have a great time!!! I hope you can go!!! Just look up "Tractor show near (put your state)" in Google!!!
Through drive feature is great.
Nice! Nowadays, you have to buy a separate pass through socket set.
Hello James, it’s funny but when I first saw these sockets I used a regular modern ratchet not knowing about the original style. I doubt these sockets can compare strength wise to modern sockets but they sure are cool! 😃👍. Thanks!

I just saw what looks like a full set of these sockets listed on eBay.
Guy so neat.they have these shows for tools around us on longisland &queens?
Hello Alan! Yes! There is one on Wednesday on Long Island! Look up LIATCA.org
@@ScoutCrafter next one u go to if it's on a Saturday let me know please thanx.Al
Is the L-handle the original one ? I would have expected it to be square bar as was the T-handle.? Hope you find the missing sockets,maybe the "Alloy Artifacts" fellow could help you there..would be nice if you could clean the box up a bit and make a reproduction lid for it,based on pictures from that old advert you showed..
I acquired a similar set a month back.It is missing the ratchet as also the T handle.Thanks for the explanation
Any relation to Mossberg the gunsmith I wonder?
Nice how much did u pay?
Hello Eliseo! Can you believe I paid $23 dollars! I love these old tools! Thanks!!!
Has time appreciated them in value ?
Hello Eliseo! I don't think they are very valuable... The newer sockets are much superior to these but they are still very interesting!!!!! Thanks!!!!!
I found one on the streets but it seam very frigil and didn't know if it was or not but after seeing your collection it was a socket . But I threw it back on the side of the road I feel bad that I did that but is gone
I can't believe all the great tools you find on the side of the road!!!!!!!
Thats a great old ratchet set.
That set cost a lot of money when new . Too bad time didn't appreciate tthem .
Hello Eliseo! You are so right! This set probably cost over a weeks salary back in the day... What a nice set too! Thanks!!!! 😃👍
