EASCO & PowrKraft Wrenches

[Hickory n Steel]

I bought this set cheap off Ebay a few years ago,  and it was absolutely NOS factory sealed.

I don't know where all the pieces went, but I bought another NOS Easco set off Ebay not long before the old GJ went down.
It was an odd homeowner set, a very basic socket set, a hacksaw & 12 blades, 2 of the chintziest dollar store grade screwdrivers you've ever seen, and a 14pc hex key set of quite good quality.

I actually like the hacksaws for light duty work, but it is on the chintzy side.
All pot metal except for the steel tube and pin used to adjust between the 2 lengths.



That set came with this 71 1106, I believe these were probably the last Easco ratchets offered.

Some may think they're a bit chintzy, but I like them for the very light backdrag. I like them enough that I found the NOS Master Mechanic for dirt cheap on Ebay.
 
The mechanism is similar to the paintbrush handles, but they have less backdrag and not interchangeable because the heads are thicker.

I like both these ratchets
 I bought the 71 1102 off a member here, it has the best knurling ever.
The paintbrush handle was given to me by Bman.

Never really like ergo handles much, but the EASCO's were just too comfortable to be without. the only downside against constant use is the lack of repair kits as has been mentioned.
