First time in a while that we actually had any tool related estate sales around here. There were three advertised, but I only made it to two of them, and unfortunately only on the last day.
The first one had advertised lots of Snap-On tools, so that was my first destination on day one. Unfortunately, that was EVERBODYs first destination. There were so many people there that the closest parking was three blocks away. That morning, my knee was worse than it had been in months, so that much walking was not a good idea. I did go back the next day, with a driver that dropped me off in front of the house. Any tool of significance was long gone
but I picked up a couple of model railroad books.
The second tool sale was on the last day, so it had become a bag sale. We were there about 10 minutes after they opened, so I unfortunately got to see some things I would have wanted in other peoples bags. I did grab a handful of stuff for a $10 bag.
Helix Adjustable wrench
Eagle 10" adjustable
WGB 2 10s and a 13mm
DIN 8mm
Gedore 10mm
Small Peterson Vice Grips
1/4" craftsman ratchet -I've never seen one like this one?
Craftsman filter/regulator
International Napa model truck
Hot Rod magazine - I wanted to read the article about the Corvair V8 conversion
Because I was riding with the house female, we went to a couple of non-tool sales. I did pickup some stuff.
A couple of Car Spotters guides -I'll keep one and give the other to my son
A Civil War book, I had several relatives that server, so it's an interest of mine
A bar sign
A Microsoft super-duper wireless keyboard
A bag of sockets(not pictured) with a universal joint - I had lost one recently and the entire bag was just $2.50
I figured the universal was worth that much, and I would donate the rest of the sockets.
But after I got home I noticed that several of the sockets were SK!
Paid about $14 for all of this stuff
Our last stop was at a place that was full of antiques I was bored out of my mind, but fortunately I spotted this ultrasonic cleaner. It was new, never been used, and it was half price day so I snagged it for $20
