Old Canvas roll

[bandit571]

That I bought at the Tractor Fest last Labor Day...
[attachment=49047]
Decided to sort through a few things...toss out the junk ones...and see IF I have the replacement Bits..


Got out the Black Box..
[attachment=49048]
Opened it up..

Pull out a few Irwins...

Some of the bits needed cleaned up, BEFORE I could figure out the "Toss or Keep" part...Jennings bit, without the square, tapered end..toss.   A few were too pitted from rust, a couple no longer had their spurs....
Finally..

A "full set"....4/16" up to 16/16"...found the awol sizes...replaced the trashed bits..
Then roll the canvas back up..

Roll has 2 eyelets...you can either hang by 2 hooks on a wall, all opened up and ready for use..or...
[attachment=49053]
Leave it rolled up, and hang it by one hook/nail/screw...

Where it is out of the way, until called for.

Bits are now all Irwins, or made by Irwin....Cleaned up with a wire wheel on my grinder...

Price?  Spent about $5....

Can't beat that price. Still working on a full set myself. I need to get out and organize them to see where I am now.

Did you oil up the old canvas?

[bandit571]

Was oily enough as it was....could used a darn good cleaning, though...

[bandit571]

May toss that roll into the Washer, on the Next Laundry Detail....without the bits, of course...

Next Rust Hunt...I might start looking for the Jennings versions...and see IF I can build a similar set....just have to remember whether they are fine thread, or coarse thread Snails...then check on what ones I do have on hand...
