Best Score Ever

[Bryan Burns]

This was a dig and it was dark and dirty. Ad said to wear sturdy shoes and bring bags. I brought a 5 gallon bucket.

Dug for an hour and filled bucket. Only had $38 on me and had no idea what I'd do if they wanted more than that for my bucket of tools. When he said $10 I was speechless.

Bonney locking pliers, Klein 203-6 pliers, North Bros. 4565 hand drill, three Disston 26 in hand saws, J.Wiss 18 in tin snips etc., etc., etc.

Yep, at that point, I just try to shut up and leave quietly with the loot...

Sweet score, especially for $10. Wow.

Who is building the model?

You have good eyes. My son started the model a couple years ago when he was 9. Perhaps I started him too young, but I was hoping he'd have the enthusiasm I had for model building when I was young.
Actually I think I might still enjoy it even though I'm 52.

No, the lever is for speed. The lever will squeeze the jaws shut and that way you don't have to use the adjustment nut.

Beautiful looking hacksaw, digging the handle/grip especially.
