It is a Premium ratcheting with reverse brace with patented interlocking self centering jaws, full boxed ratchet, and beautiful rosewood handles. The joints are tight with no excess play.

Lubed and Tested. This petite 6” bit brace is in excellent cosmetic and working condition. Manufactured in the 1930’s about 90 years ago and will last another lifetime with normal maintenance.

Fine collectible user.

I am in upstate South Carolina. I have recently retired. One of my hobbies has been woodworking, but never had the time to do it as well as would like. A few years ago I became passionate about using vintage hand tools vs. battery or electric powered whenever it made sense to do so. Today my passion still thrives and I enjoy properly oiling/waxing, cleaning or refurbishing, if needed those same vintage woodworking tools.

My goal is to place as many of these high quality, made in the USA vintage hand tools back into the hands of today’s craftsmen. I would never “part out” a good tool just for the proceeds. If the tool I have acquired is serviceable I will put it into as good of condition it can be and sell to friends or on eBay. All I am trying to do is receive some compensation for my time and retain enough capital to be able to purchase more tools, some in need of gentle care.  Please join me in “Saving the Tools”
