Plumb is now Proto, but for the most part they aren't warrantying any of the old stuff. Plumb went away back in the fifties. I have a few and use them carefully as they are more sentimental than functional. You might get Proto to warranty them but I doubt it.

never knew of a difference.
the name on both ratchets and sockets is spelled PL(upside down triangle)MB
I thought it became Proto then Stanley, but wondered if the warranty was still valid.
I'll get some pics in a day or two.
Those are Plomb tools, which became PROTO (from PROfessional TOols) after being sued by Plumb for trademark infringement. Proto is now owned by the Stanley Works. IDK, but I doubt Stanley is warrantying Plomb items. Link to article about Plomb:

the 1/4" ratchet is still good, used it for a good pic, sockets are 15/16" 12 point cracked in the 12 point area, other socket is 9/16" 12 point and cracked where the 1/2" ratchet snaps in it.
I'll thought I had 1 or 2 more cracked sockets, need to find 'em.
ok ill look through my xtras for 9/16 and 15/16 12pt 1/2 inch drive deep
