Nice.

Does anyone else 'hear' them when they see a picture of these hand drills?  :facepalm:

I picked up this Columbian 6CB vise as a throw in with the wrench lot I bought a week back.

Could you post a few more pictures of the vintage Columbian vice?
It looks like a woodworkers vise from the picture.
Thanks.

Very nice!  I have two Columbians.  One is a large bench vise that my grandfather used.  I was looking for a smaller vise for another bench, and looking at new vises made me long for old school quality.  So I scoured eBay and found an old Columbian.   :tu:

Ok, how’s this for an old screwdriver, it has only four bits which sits in the pouch, but it also uses 2”C” cell batteries, of course the one battery we don’t have any of, but the tip of the screwdriver is also a flashlight,,

Proto, Apex, OTC, Wright, NAPA (USA) and Cr-V (Japan) 3/4 and 1 inch drive sockets, adapters and and extension.  There is also one Proto 1/2 drive impact socket. I picked these up at an estate sale.  These will help fill in my 3/4 drive socket set.

Pli-Rench by the Whale Tool Corp.  Patent #2489057, 1949.  Very similar to Vise-Grips these adjustable locking pliers have a sliding lower jaw to make gripping items easier. I picked these up at a local estate sale.

And the patent.

I have a vague recollection from many years ago of having a "grippy" tool of some kind that had a pivoting jaw similar to that.  Let me go down to my garage and see if I can find it...

[a few minutes later] 
No joy, and I even looked in the "house" toolbox  as well.  But I still have a stubborn memory of locking pliers with a simple pivot (on a straight pin ?)  for the bottom jaw.  I remember it because it was rather useless if you tried to grip with the outside 1/3 of the pivoting jaw as it just pivoted outwards and didn't grip properly.  Maybe I threw it away as it frustrated me too much ? 

If anyone wants a new one then Knipex make them.

I picked up another pair of locking pliers recently.  Pics soon.  I'm still looking for early Vise-Grips and other locking pliers I don't have.

This is the Friday estate sale buy from last week.  This is No. 4 Stanley  Bailey plane  with a ribbed sole. I believe it is a Model 11.  If the ID is correct, this plane was manufactured between 1910 and 1918, making it over 100 years old. I'm hoping to clean it up and maybe replace the chipped lever cap to make it a solid user.  The handles are tight, and most of the japanning is present.

I added two saws to my pistol grip keyhole saw collection. My favorite is the purple Disston.  It looks like a ray gun.
