Re: MVMTS----Mission Complete-----UPDATE
You're most welcome Phil. Merry Christmas!
That ratchet looks like it was born with that set. Now, if we can just find some V22 nut drivers!
Do I spy that P&C close quarter driver in the pic as well?
Gotta love those upgrades!

Re: MVMTS----Mission Complete-----UPDATE
Well - you did bring up the subject of inspection Phil
Is there anything in the rules and regs specifying that chisels, punches, drifts, and so on should have the heads ground to remove any burrs or sharp edges, to keep the striking faces clean and square, plus prevent damage to the hand that is holding it?

Re: MVMTS----Mission Complete-----UPDATE
Gordon,
There is nothing in the SNL N-19 along those lines. However, the TM 10-590 does include a ton of information on proper use and care of tools. It also has a lot of information on how to avoid injury for many tools.

Re: MVMTS----Mission Complete-----UPDATE
Thanks Phil. I'm sure I've seen passing reference to that somewhere, probably on here.
I'm on the lookout for a 1" Plomb 86A cold chisel for my Machinists Set, which I know from the catalogue will be 8" or 12" long, but it struck me that a lot of the chisels photographed against rulers on that auction site were under length by up to 2", presumably because they had been dressed repeatedly at the striking end.

Re: GMTK MVMTS----TOOLKIT---UPDATE
Another update to my '42 based set. I recently came across a box of NOS Vlchek chisels. Two of them have a very cool sticker but notice the spelling of Velchek on the sticker compared to Vlchek stamped on the handle. Its almost exactly to specs at 6 7/8".

Re: GMTK MVMTS----TOOLKIT---UPDATE
The "VELCHEK" is in quotes, Phil. That was part of their branding in the 1930's and up through at least 1941. "VELCHEK" Tools and THE VLCHEK TOOL CO. can be seen on the front and the back of the 1936, 1938, and 1941 catalog. Inside, every reference to the company on every page uses the company name.pjones wrote:Two of them have a very cool sticker but notice the spelling of Velchek on the sticker compared to Vlchek stamped on the handle.
Great find!

Very nice Phil, It is good to add a bit of colour.
Are the three chisels different or are 2 the same ?
