Picked up a box of wrenches and sockets for free a couple years ago. Mostly craftsman. But got some jc penny ratcheting wrenches. Didn’t know there was a brand of tools from them till i got em. Here’s what i had picked up. Threw em in a snap on tool box i also picked up free. I didn’t decorate it either. My fiance says i have a hoarding proplem with tools. Hahaha. I told her at least my hoarding makes me money.
Hey it’s the first time I’ve ever read/heard free and snap on in the same sentence so congratulations.
Can never have enough tools!

Lol very true ?
I like free stuff but everyone here wants to trade. I keep trading paper with old guy’s faces on it for tools, seems odd trading paper for metal but it’s working out thus far
JC Penny had a couple different lines of tools. They sold JC Penny brand as a budget line and a line called PennCraft that was their better stuff and competed with Craftsman.
Your ratcheting wrenches were made by Lang, the company that invented them, and they actually still sell them today.
That’s good to know. They seemed to be of good quality.

They also “made” power tools and electronics. We had a JCPenny amp in the shop a few months ago, it was made by Fisher.
