Alloy Artifacts

A tool collectors’ dream, this site is a deep repository of photos and info on 20th century hand tools and the companies that made them. While heavily oriented toward wrenches, the site also features screwdrivers, fencing pliers, wood chisels, sockets, breaker bars, and drive plugs, from makers like Diamond, Armstrong, Craftsman, Herbrand, Walden, and many more. Start with the site index for an A-Z tool listing, or from the homepage to browse the reference articles, tool timeline, trademarks and logos, and patent library.
