anyone collect? an old USA tool manufacturer swallowed up by industry conglomeration, a shell of what they where.
they seemed to have an omg lineup of pliers.
i find these on flea bay. attempt not to spend big $ on them. i do like to acquire the green dipped handles.
without posting up the m/n’s. here’s my feeble assemblage.
drivers and odd balls to follow.
Nah I dont collect but those are some nice looking hand tools you got there
Of course you would have an overabundance of pliers too!
Actually, I remember seeing the name Diamalloy on some of my wrenches or adjustable wrench, i can’t remember anymroe
I have a couple of Diamalloy adjustable wrenches. I’m not really much of a fan, tbh but to each their own.
My dad has one or two adjustables….
Im pretty sure i have some Diamond and Diamalloy somewhere around here.
my anemic collection of drivers.
long shafted slots, and an incomplete set of nut drivers.
seems that diamond branded drivers are rare, and the occassional one that shows up on fleabay is over my price range.
i am open, to purchase any offers, btw.
Hi Bob
Bruce M W from New Zealand
I have enjoyed the wonderful practical use of DiamAlloy what some around here call parrot beak or polly pliers
Or very adjustable pliers. we use them particularly when doing plumbing work on our farm where we run Beef cattle and sheep. We send our grass only fed Beef bred Hill country( Means born and raised on grass in rough hill country) for a year and a half seeing man about two or three times before going to a market where we purchase and run on flatter easier country, grass only to around 800Kgs (1750-1800ibs) yes they are mean spirited at times to each other and we the shepherds.
If you get any of these tools which are a bit to shabby for your collection I would love to hear from you and purchase them.
We simply work them and they are the best I have ever used, they some how fit your hand and are smooth to work with.
Yours sincerely
Bruce
