Vintage Snap On Tools Screwdrivers SSD Series with Old Style Black Handles. I have owned these screwdrivers since the 1970’s and they have mainly been used during that period with occasional use after that. They haven’t been out of the tool box much because I don’t carry out much car maintenance myself anymore so they are looking for a good home. They are all in good condtion with general wear and tear on the black plastic handles. There is a mixture of flat blade and Philips in the set.

Description: Britool socket set. My dad has decided to retire and asked that this goes to a good home. It’s served him well over the years. He did his own car repairs, and other people’s, so wanted a good reliable set to work with. Label can be seen clearly from photo listing exact contents. Complete kit with E79 Swivel head replaced with Draper, as original got lost. E56 and E70 have slight bends from trying to undo wheel nuts which were too tight! Sockets are METRIC, WHITWORTH AND A/F and are a bit dirty from car repairs, but still work perfectly well with plenty of life left in them. All tools are placed so they can be seen clearly as described. This is a fully working tool kit, not a show piece. It’s not been kept in the garage to impress visitors. It’s been kept in the car to carry out repairs. As such, the case has odd scratches and surface rust.

Vintage GEDORE 1/2 Drive Socket Set – Metric, AF & Whitworth – 1970s Original vintage GEDORE professional quality socket set dating from approximately the 1970s. The set contains Metric, AF/Imperial and Whitworth sockets together with a selection of 1/2 drive accessories, all housed in the original fitted blue metal GEDORE case. The tools are marked GEDORE VANADIUM. The Metric socket range includes sizes from 10mm to 22mm, together with AF and Whitworth sizes, making this a particularly useful set for classic car, motorcycle and general engineering use where different types of older fasteners may be encountered. The set includes the ratchet, speed brace, extension bars, universal joint, sliding/T-bar and sockets shown in the photographs. Made during the West German period and a lovely example of the high-quality professional tools for which GEDORE became well known. The original blue metal case is included and retains the printed socket and accessory layout inside the lid. CONDITION: This is a genuine vintage used tool set and therefore has marks, wear and patina consistent with its age and previous workshop use. The metal case also shows age-related wear, marks and areas of surface corrosion/patina. I have deliberately left it in its original condition rather than repainting or restoring it. Please study all photographs carefully as they form part of the description and show the exact contents and condition of the set. Maker: GEDORE Drive: 1/2 square drive Socket types: Metric / AF Imperial / Whitworth Material: Vanadium steel Period: Approximately 1970s Origin: West Germany period Case: Original fitted GEDORE metal case A very nice vintage professional GEDORE socket set, particularly suitable for a classic car or motorcycle enthusiast, vintage vehicle workshop, engineer, tool collector or anyone requiring Metric, AF and Whitworth sockets in one set.

Please find our listing for this vintage tap & die set as originally made by Eventus. This item has evidently seen a lot of use in its day by its condition, both of the actual tools themselves and also the wooden box itself. It appears to contain the original BSF (British Standard Fine) set, which judging by the one empty tap slot, is complete except for the single tap. There are some problems with the box, these mainly being that one of the hook claps is missing, no key for the lock, and that at some time, it has been exposed to woodworm (nothing serious and in the time we have had it, which is about a year, no recent activity). This will look great as a period piece alongside either a classic car or motorbike display, either personal or in a museum type of setting, and has the added advantage that it may still be suitable to use (please check the wear before though). Due to its weight (approx 7 kg) and its size, we will need to post this using ParcelForce48, but the cost is included within our listing. Please see the attached photos for this listing as they form part of the description. Proof of Posting will be obtained.
