Built to last, and built to collect...
Visit Shop 16, where vintage tools from the golden era of American manufacturing line the shelves from top to bottom. Socket wrenches, ratchets, spanners, and combination sets from Craftsman, Snap-on, and other legendary brands sit alongside hefty industrial hardware like cast iron pulleys, rope hooks, and heavy-duty D-rings that once saw service in workshops and shipyards across the Pacific Northwest. Vintage wooden crates and weathered toolboxes with original patina make perfect display pieces or functional storage for a growing collection.
The selection of vintage tools here goes well beyond the basics. You'll find precision machinist's instruments including tap and die sets, gauge blocks, reamers, and drill bit assortments, all individually tagged and priced. Screwdriver sets with color-coded handles, socket extensions in every size, and professional-grade torque wrenches round out a collection that speaks to serious mechanics and weekend tinkerers alike. Whether you're restoring a classic toolkit piece by piece or hunting for that one missing Snap-on ratchet, this is the kind of shop where patience pays off.
Beyond the workbench, Shop 16 surprises with a dedicated section of die-cast race cars and NASCAR memorabilia, from detailed replica stock cars in original packaging to vintage racing programs and collectible displays. The mix of vintage tools and motorsport collectibles gives this space a distinctly American character that collectors of all kinds will appreciate. The inventory rotates regularly, so it's worth checking back to see what's come in. For more vintage hand tools and rustic Americana, check out Shop 57 a little further back.
