Dear Boomer--YOU ARE KILLING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know my snap on history..5/8 DRIVE See I have almost a complete Ferret set--snap ons 1st 3/8 drive set from 19 30 ish---I did not know I had a fellow collector amongst us--NEETO--any history/origin of set. Mine came out of a Pawnshop in Panama city FLA. $15.00 Just rusty.. Nice set you have--been looking a long time for 5/8 drive. WOW---------------------------------------------------------

Funny story i went to an auction and bought the ratchet for like 17 bucks. Then i was telling a guy that works for the city that was in our shop about it. He said he knows a guy who has the sockets he thought they were 1/2 drive. But then found out they were 5/8. So i bought them. Even got the 5/8 to 1/2 adapter.

Hey all! Been busy all day, cutting wood, used the bow on my pro mac 60 for the first time, it rocked! Used my single bit today doing some splitting and some chopping, also great, but I did learn not to use an axe on small brush because the sticks can swing around and wack you in the face..... the whole face...... And here are some pictures of the saws from today.....View attachment 552834 View attachment 552835


The second picture is of the only saws that really counted haha, sorry, not sorry LonestarStihl

[emoji58]trash sir. I see some good saws in there but I'm surprised the Poulan made it through the day [emoji23][emoji56]

Now that bow bar mac would disappear if I knew where it lived haha. I kid but seriously

AT first I thought you were going to show off your firebrick/duct work collection-my computer is slow--------Ahh Kenosha--Dad used to have some old snap on catologs from the 50-60s so cool

 

[Boomer 87]

Uhh i think up to 1-1/2" i think theres two 1-7/16 i dont know for sure what they go down to but its got some 32nds sizes in there.

Well today went pretty well. No tach yet, goes to show that buying the cheapest one on ebay is not always the wisest decision. However, the mill is coming along nicely. All the extrusions are cut and mostly assembled. Main work for tomorrow is building some bar clamp contraption, as I can't bear to drill into my brand new Stihl bar. Then to test it out. I designed it so I can run up to something around a 40'' bar (not happening on this saw), so it looks super pathetic with only a 20'' bar on it right now.

 

[Boomer 87]

So how bad do you want that set right now?

 

[Boomer 87]

One of the socket someone beat on so.i chucked it up on the lathe and turned the bad off it

That is the coooolest story--Glad they all got a good home-oiled regularly and admired--would display well on my old tool shelf .LOL never seen a ratchet like that

 

[Boomer 87]

To change direction of the rachet you push the square out then flip sides.

I wondered what happened-Did I say I am crazy about old snap on.I have a small pullhandle looks like 1/4 drive but is 5/16--military I think

 

[Boomer 87]

@46 Poulan- Im gonna check all the sizes. I can clearly see you would cherish them. I had to pay dearly for the sockets, if you could pay me what i have in them ill sell them to you. I like them but its obvious to me who needs to have them.

 

[Boomer 87]

I also have a flat panel 1/2 ratchet military bc i was black finish

Yeah, that pro mac 60 is growing on me fast. It was a blast to use today. For sure, ask boomer what he did to his axe today hahaha
