Very nice score! A couple of really nice surprises in there! but not to give spoilers I can't believe there wasn't one of those screen roller tools in there. I swear there is at least one in every box I buy. Take care brother.
The Apex bit is a standard slotted screw bit for a vintage electric screw gun. The hex part of the shaft should be 3/8”. They use to make heavy duty D handle electric screw guns to drive large deck screws. I inherited one from my Dad an all metal body D handle Milwaukee the chuck in it accepts 3/8” hex bits like that.
Those Apex tools are super top of the line, like as good or better than Snap On. I had a set of 1/4 and 3?8 impact sockets and extensions that lasted forever. I got them all at a flea market for 100.00. They are super strong and tough tools.
The #7382 screwdriver is a Penens brand, and they were eventually a "value" line of Proto. They were located in the Chicago/Schiller Park, IL area. Correct, Kastar is part of Lang and they are located in Racine, WI. They were the supplier of the "S" circle automotive tools (feeler gauges, gap gauges, etc.) to Sears Craftsman. I believe that Craftsman c-clamp was made by the Adjustable Clamp Company of Chicago, IL. They also made the "laminated style" locking pliers for Sears. One thing that came out of the Fuller Tool Company was their association with KTC Tools of Japan. KTC is believed to be the manufacturer of the "BF" Japan made Craftsman tools. As the research and story goes, Bernard Fuller (who owned Fuller Tools in Whitestone, NY, which is Queens county in NYC) went to Japan to a conference and made a deal with KTC to import tools to the USA. Mr. Fuller sent some KTC tools to Sears to evaluate and they were intrigued. So, by 1964, Fuller was importing KTC tools to the USA and they were rebranded for Sears and Sears Craftsman. This allowed KTC to have export distribution and a large customer base. This continued through the late 1980s. The "BF" on the tools is believed to be "Bernard Fuller" which also doubled as their maker's mark so that Sears could also track returns. Some tools were also rumored to have a "KTC" logo on them too, but I've only seen BF. I have a few sets of them in my Craftsman collection. I like the USA made counterparts better but the Japan made Craftsman isn't that bad. I have some of those "Roboslip" Craftsman pliers and I'm not a big fan of them. They do work, but they are goofy to use and take some getting used to.
Nice haul. love the Radio Shack set, looks like a inexpensive excelite style set. I nabbed a lot with a Radio Shack ammeter in it that was in great shape. Definitely some odd but cool pieces found...
It's odd that folk who do these videos seem to insist on holding the camera with one hand whilst fiddling with the various objects with the other. Have they never heard of camera stands - ?
Tripods offer up problems as well. I shoot many videos outside, the wind blows them around fairly easy. You get a lot more wind noise on a tripod. They tend to be in the way. Getting the camera to focus on small details seem more difficult on a tripod as well. If I move indoors I will likely switch to a mount. Thanks for watching!

LOL! That is funny, I do find them all the time. Thanks for watching!
Nice find! I love the snap on pocket knife!
I was happy to find the knife in such good shape, easy to clean up! Thanks for watching!

Pretty Cool Tool Haul! Awesome Score as Always! Thanks for Sharing.

Great find with some real gems! 😊😊😊

I'm pretty sure the ''DELAVAN'' tool is a wrench for servicing pressure jet oil burner nozzles
Yes, I think I said gas shut off... had my fuels mixed up! Thanks for watching!

I've never really used them, but all the ones I have found in random lots seem built for industrial usage. Thanks for watching!

I have some sets just like that without a brand, still neat to find. Thanks for watching!
I have one of those Snap On knives because it came with the 60th anniversary tool box which I still have and use!
Thanks for the video!
Just like the tools, the boxes have always been built to last! Thanks for watching!
Archer was a Radio Shack brand.
I thought it was, it has been years since I have been to one. Thanks for watching!

I have yet to find anything remotely close to what you find
I strike out a lot at different sales. Sometimes I also get lucky! Thanks for watching!
I think the pocket knife is a schrade knife.
Could be, I will need to look closer. Thanks for watching!
