October 19, 2025Oct 19 Popular Post Heck of a deal on the reversible, offset ratchet wrenches. I don't use them much any more, but during my farm equipment tech days, they were invaluable especially on combines spring adjustable belt tensioners. Really cool screw driver.
October 23, 2025Oct 23 Author 2 wrenches are Pittsburgh brand. 1 is a Craftsman brand and 1 is a Power Kraft ( Ward's) brand... Already had a larger sized one, also a Craftsman.. largest size is now 3/4" That small one 1/4" x 5/16" is the Power Kraft Dad had a Proto wrench like that, but it is a 1/2" x 9/16" No. 1193 Should about complete the range of sizes for these... Screwdriver ( not the tool setholder) is a Br4ookstone , Made in England cabinet makers turnscrew... Tool holder has 10 bits inside the hollow handle...

I have a few wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers that are Power Kraft. Most belonged to my dad or his dad. A few I've picked along the way. Back in the day, many Power Kraft hand tools were equal to or better than some Craftsman.
