Jori from Harry Epstein gave us a heads-up that a new shipment of NOS (new old stock) Bonney tools has just arrived and is being prepared for sale. A small quantity of NOS Channellock tools have arrived as well.
Bonney tools are highly sought after by hobbyists and pro tool users, and are incredibly hard to find in new condition. They have a great build quality, and are often highly recommended despite their scarcity.

We’re told that the new shipment mostly consists of sets and some open stock. You’ll want to check Harry Epstein’s web store often as the new sets will show up soon and might sell out as quickly.

Bonney tools – really interesting ! I have some wrenches and sockets I inherited
from my Father. They were issued to him in WWII. They’re still used by me
today, still in good shape. Didn’t know Bonney was still around.
Stuart
Bonney isn’t still around, this is “new old stock”, meaning the tools were probably forgotten in a warehouse somewhere or floating in limbo, or something like that.

Does your company warranty bonney tools. If you do I need the info on how to get a ratchet swapped.
Stuart
I’m sorry, but I have no idea who might warranty Bonney tools. That tool brand doesn’t exist anymore.
JAMES DANIEL HOLBROOK
yes like to know if bonney socket are lifetime because two of them that is crack they left out my father tools just wonder if they are or not but would be nice if they where lifetime just need to know what to do with them
Stuart
As mentioned in my other comment, Bonney Tools is no longer around. No company = no warranty.

Bonney Forge is still exist just not as a tool company. They make forged steel valves and fittings. The split between the tool and valve division happened prior to 1967.

On a side note Walworth original makers of the Stillson wrench (the original pipe wrench) also still exist as a valve manufacturer.

Being from Alliance, where these tools were made, I can tell you these are quality tools. I have an old flex head 3/8 ratchet that I aquired from a neighbor. That ratchet is still my favorite 3/8 ratchet.

I have an old 3/8 flex-head ratchet that needs to be repaired. Not sure if the gears are ok but tight and loosen switch on the back is missing. Is there any company who repairs them or what parts are compatible with this wrench ?
Stuart
I wish I could help with that, but I haven’t a clue. Sorry.

Worked as a Xerox repair rep for many years and Bonney was the only wrench that they would provide us with. Two world class companies at the time. In the nineties that sadly ended and other suppliers were used. Still have the tools and never take them out of the garage for fear of loss. Bonney’s are second to none!

I found what looks like an adapter in my dads old tool set. It has a 13/16 female square to 1/4 male square. Like adapting 13/16 drive to 1/4 drive. I was not aware of this size. It is a Bonney tool. Any help as to what I have would be great.
Andrew
Steven, usually the square 13/16″ drive is for old semi truck “budd” wheel studs. Strange it has 1/4″ male on the other side. My guess it is meant to be used with a refrigeration ratchet which has a female 1/4 ratcheting head and then to be used on 13/16 square bolts or plugs.
