What Was YOUR First Tool Set?

MonsonMotors, I might concur that the wrench is from the 40's.

Got this Wagner "Brake Drum Rivet Fixture" with assorted rivet sets.
I assume to rivet hubs and drums together?
I haven't done much of that...sounds like a good way to get a funny brake pedal?

Anyone like to take a shot at the vintage of this Ken-Tool truck lug-nut tool?
It's 3/4" drive.
1940s?
It's cool! On ebay...

Already have one, does the lugs and dually lug on my KB-6, a beast to use

an early ratchet wrench,

I posted this before a early snap on adapter to turn your breaker bar into a ratchet, came with the ratchet above, patented in 1923

Cool stuff!

Turns out I LIKE Weaver brand antique garage equipment!
This is an early tire/wheel balancer.
Came very well packaged...

definitely not my first tool set. Some accuse me of living in the past, but I do try some new stuff. I am likely one of the very few who use a supercapcitor to crank my truck. I've finely broke down an purchesed one of these:

At the urging of some in Australia that use them. Most of my heavy trucks sit on spoke wheels, so something like this is not needed. Which is why I held off for so long. Only one truck (well, two if you count one of my K-7's) sit on disk wheels. I have kept "getting by" with a 3/4 impact and a large air tank to get the wheels off, but the impact is getting weak and the last two time I had to run the truck to town to have a shop loosen the wheels.
Last week in 100+ temps I was running across north-central Montana, no town with so much as a country store or gas station for over 200 miles of running. With my Spoke wheel trucks, that is of little concern as I can change a tire in 20 mins. If I had a tire failure out there, even tho I carry a spare and a hand lug wrench, it is doubtful I could get the lug loose.
Got it off Ebay with a coupon for $110 so can't get too hurt.
From what I can tell this is made off-shore, so not sure how good it is, but does come with a "limited lifetime" warnentte, for whatever that means.

I assume it contains a planetary gear reducer for torque multiplication?

yeah, but it hasn't arrived yet Been a week.

Walden-Worcester fixed-socket automotive tools were among the first available to repair early cars and trucks.
They are 80-100 years old and are CHEAP to buy AND COOL to own.
I like making sets.
I probably have about $60 in this set including shipping. The eight fixed-socket speed wrenches were $18 plus shipping.
