Wowwwwwww! Those slip-joint pliers at 04:45 ish look fantastic. Never heard of Diamond before but clearly well made stuff. I also love the yellow/green translucent Fuller drivers. Like you said - so nice compared to current stuff. I have a bunch of 1980’s ‘West’ German tools and included are some green handled Heyco’s that I love.

[@thetoolbandit]

Yes, they made great tools. Thanks for watching!

[@stevekerr1386]

New subscriber and really enjoy catching up on all your posts. Thanks for doing this.

[@thetoolbandit]

Welcome! I appreciate it! Thank you for watching!

[@frankblack1481]

Those stubby flat heads with broad tips are still nice to have in aerospace for opening ‘Dzus’ fasteners. My mechanic colleagues grind rounds onto the edges. PB Swiss sells similar for Dzus and the ‘coin’ type battery covers on bike equipment.

[@thetoolbandit]

Yes, that is a good use.

[@91Z50]

Bar codes started in 1973 and really took off in 75. You got a great haul there. I like the FULLER TOOLS even the Japan ones are good. Thanks for sharing

[@thetoolbandit]

Thanks for the info! Japan usually makes a good tool, so tools made in Japan don't scare me. Thanks for watching!

The P56 plastic cutters are flush cuts for trimming the nubs off injection molded products and zip ties. They typically have a lower HRC The TW Xcelite drivers look like what was used on telco binding posts back before 66 & 110 blocks started to be used. The green handle ec54 are flush cuts for through hole components. Used to cut the excess leads off after being hand soldered. The dn54 has smooth jaws to prevent component damage when aligning components. The sc54 are also used for through hole components. Used to pull leads through PCB and cut excess leads off prior to soldering.

[@thetoolbandit]

Thanks for all the valuable info. Seems the more tools I find the more I see things for the first time. Thanks for watching!

[@michaellindsay8934]

Diamond sure made some unique wire cutters. Fantastic tool haul

[@thetoolbandit]

Yes they did! Thanks for watching!

[@TomGunnTools]

You lived up to your name for sure! Tool bandit! Nice haul!

[@thetoolbandit]

I didn't hold up anyone but I did make out like a bandit! I just watched one of your hauls! Thanks for watching!

[@user-dc2fw9jd3v]

Miss your videos. Hope all is well.

[@parkervariety2103]

Great finds! Love to see these things still exist.

[@thetoolbandit]

It is getting hard to find. Thanks for watching!

[@danohstoolbox]

[@thetoolbandit]

Thanks for the info and for watching!

[@brandoncrawford3917]

[@thetoolbandit]

[@fasthistoricalfacts]

WOW! I would love to find stuff like that!

[@thetoolbandit]

I got lucky finding this honey hole! Thanks for watching!

[@warrenblanchard889]

Great find

[@thetoolbandit]

Thank you! Thanks for watching!

[@ChrisK-1969]

Forgot to say nice find. I love the Diamond pliers in boxes, back before everything had to be on a display card. Back when there was counter hardware stores. By the way Cooper bought Diamond in 1993 and continued the brand for a while.

[@thetoolbandit]

Yes, is cool to have the boxes! Thanks for the info! Thanks for watching!

[@van1196]

Nice tool haul! Love them Diamond tools!

[@thetoolbandit]

Quality tools! I collect the green handle tools. What I picked up here about doubles the collection. Thank for watching!

[@ChrisK-1969]

The jaws on the plastic pliers have more of a knife edge and are not hardened to cut wire or steel. It will ruin them. Diamond put the blue handles on to differentiate them from regular cutters

[@thetoolbandit]

Thanks for the info. I did notice the blade was a bit different. Thanks for watching!

[@kaceesavage]

These are so cool!

[@thetoolbandit]

Thanks! Thanks for watching!

[@michaelmiller9483]

The green handle terminal drivers might be for audio jack nuts-hard to find.

[@thetoolbandit]

I will look into that! Thanks for watching!

[@michaelmiller9483]

​@@thetoolbanditThe round knurled nuts you would see on a transistor radio audio jack- banana nuts??

[@Johndeere60]

Some of them pliers are awsome where'd you get them?

[@thetoolbandit]

I was tipped off by a friend who found the stash. Thanks for watching!

[@TPINSC]

Those are some nice tools. I am trying to find a pair of HL18P GROOVE JOINT PLIERS. If You have one of those to sell I would be interested.

[@thetoolbandit]

I will take a look. Thanks for watching!

[@frankblack1481]

May I ask how you plan to sell the see? EBay? I’d love to bid on some of them.

[@thetoolbandit]

I kept one of each, sold some at a tool show, have some on ebay. You can email me at [e-mail]

[@williammcguire3rd]

Nice haul!! Where did you find great deal??

[@thetoolbandit]

Thanks! I was tipped off from a friend on who had them. I'm not quite ready to give up the source. Thanks for watching!

[@williammcguire3rd]

@@thetoolbandit haha I didn't blame ya.

[@GH-oi2jf]

I love my Diamond tools, but I don't have many.

[@thetoolbandit]

They made great tools for a long time. I have a number of next to new tools, always looking for more. Thanks for watching!

[@dungcunhatbai1535]

it is very beautiful and good quality. do you sell it?

[@thetoolbandit]

I do, none of this is listed anywhere yet. Thank you for watching!

[@mtmchenry]

Where do you find the NOS tools?

[@thetoolbandit]

I never find hits like this. I was tipped off to this one. Hard to find these days. Thanks for watching!

[@TheDodge610]

Taking it you sold those emblems

[@thetoolbandit]

what emblems?

[@TheDodge610]

The craftsman emblems off like tool boxes that were in the socket set box@@thetoolbandit

[@thetoolbandit]

No. Not really sure where they are... I have about 150 boxes of tools boxed up. If I find them I will let you know. @@TheDodge610

[@TheDodge610]

You showed them in the next to last videothey were in like a 1/4 drive socket case lol@@thetoolbandit

[@thetoolbandit]

I shot that video 6 months ago, so they are a bit lost right now. If they turn up I will let you know! @@TheDodge610

[@ronrichard141]

Running pliers are for glass breaking.

[@thetoolbandit]

Thanks for the info! I think every haul I do I find a few things I never seen or heard of. Thanks for watching!

[@SteveAustin-jp3ev]

1st to comment. 1st to thumbs up. Greetings from Western North Carolina.

[@thetoolbandit]

Greetings from South Central Wisconsin! Thanks again for watching!

[@aaadamt964]

Is there a reason people comment just to say theyre the first to comment?

[@SteveAustin-jp3ev]

No reason. Just thought I'd irrate you.

[@michaeldixon3562]

do you resell?

[@thetoolbandit]

I do, none of this is listed. My email is [e-mail] if you want to ask about a few things. Thanks for watching!

[@TutorMystic]

UPC started in 1974.

[@thetoolbandit]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@jimhaines8370]

Crescent and Diamond were separate companies until the Cooper group came along and bought and consolidated a lot of tool companies everybody loosing what made them special and then closing down and off shoring everything after buy outs sell offs of everything now being mostly imported by APEX tool group.

[@thetoolbandit]

Thanks for the info! Seems like more and more companies are going to Taiwan or China. I get the reasons why but it is sad to see. Thanks for watching!

[@danohstoolbox]

herbrand bonney and a few others were in that buy up

[@Cope1024]

Diamond is out of business; they may never have used bar codes.

[@thetoolbandit]

They lasted until 1986 I believe, they may have had them near the end. Thanks for watching!
