Logged in to the forum after a few years, was good to see my name bashed here
I hope you are guys doing well.
I will start sharing some information here. There are 4 types of 10,000V screwdrivers. First version is bright red non-translucent handle versions, saw them in as early as 1968 912 tool kits. Second version is the dark red handle versions, the handles are larger than the later versions. I saw them in 1969 tool kits mostly. The ones in the listing Jim referenced have dark red handles. Later versions are the most common ones we see in LWB tool kits, translucent handles that are slightly lighter than the ones in my tool kit that was listed. They have two versions as most folks know, one with the smaller diameter extensions around the blade and the ones without. I do not know if they were meant for different years or Porsche used two different vendors.
In terms of eBay listings, I put the tool kits together unless I state in the listing. That tool kit people are critizing, if you put a nice set of DFS wrenches ($500-$700), fish skin pliers ($200-$400), Kleins ($500-$1000), do you think a 1968/69 912 owner will pay $3000 for a tool kit? The tool kit has all original tools ( I will check the 912 wrench per Eric's comments) and original tool bag, it was a good deal for what you would get. For SWB tool kits, I have listed only one untouched tool kit recently and I stated that it was the only tool kit I have had that I can tell it was unmolested. It was a 1966 912 tool kit in exceptional condition with all original tools and belt, it didn't even sell for $3000. I could part it out and get $3500 for everything individually, but didn't have the heart to do so as I know how hard it is to find one. I will keep it for a few years and re-list it.
I do not disclose all the information I know as I am tired of people copying my listing texts and listing their stuff a little cheaper than mine. eBay is not a forum and I do not feel like I need to educate people on eBay. There are decent amount of reproduction tools and bags used in eBay tool kit listings, I do not sneak in reproductions like some others may do. I share honest feedback on PelicanParts forum, as it is a forum. You may think my reasoning is flawed or not agree with it but it is what it is.
I always list the tool kits as +/-1 year as we all know there was not that much precision in what you would get in your car when you purchase it. Trying to make people understand that there are many tool kit experts out there but you shouldn't disregard a nice tool kit just because experts tell you it is not correct for your car. I have been contacted by many people throughout the years that told me their tool kit did not match what the "experts" were saying and they were the original owner of their cars and the tool kit came with their car. I am not 80 years old but I learned a lot from very fine gentlemen who were kind enough to share their knowledge with me. Most have passed away through out the years or not capable of being in front of a computer anymore unfortunately.
In terms Selected Steel wrenches, I have had partial SWB 912 tool kits that had a mixture of DFS and SS wrenches. The tool kits are from the 1960's, so they may have been replaced some point of their lives. I have been contacted by a few early 912 owners that stated their tool kit came with the car and they were original owners, and they had SS wrenches in their tool kits. I do not know why the 912 tool kits were treated as the red-headed stepchilds and some non-ideal tools were used but this is what I have observed so far. I have some SWB 912 tool bags also that are thinner than the 911 tool bags, not sure if they were used for 911 tool kits also.
I will post some tool kit and tool bag pictures if they mandate a two-week curfew in Houston. It is not possible to tell the differences on some bags and tools unless you have compare them side by side. I buy whatever I can, compare them to what I have, and list if I have duplicate.Below are the different SWB tool bags I have, and I am missing the elephant hide vinyl and some rivet type styles that I know of. I keep pictures of different items that I sell also, I will dig up some original unmolested tool kit pictures that I sold in the recent years.
