More estate sale junk!

[Outlawmws]

Went to two this AM; one was not open The other was. not a pro sale which usually means better prices...

Nothing spectacular, but I'm liking the crimpers quite a bit. much better the my other stamped steel crimpers.

No specific Manufacturers on them, but I took some closeups of them soif anyoen kow s wh made them I'd appreciate a heads up.

The rest, 5/16 and 1/4 Allens, one was craftsman, P&C, Craftsman, and Barcalo wrenches, the Craftsman has seen better days... Three drills not new but adequate for basic drilling, Diamaloy Bench Snips, 10"; Not my favored brand for snips, but... The crimpers of course, Wiss M5 straight cut aviation snips, and the most brutal looking spray nozzel I think I've ever seem. 2 lbs of bronze and I stuck the quick connect on it to see if it worked add it does, perfectly!

I had a sense that this would all be really cheap as I dug it out of a crappy storage shed. I did pass on a small 20" 2 drawer craftsman portable tool box, but mostly because both latches were busted.

All told, less than 10 cents each: 11 tools for $2.

Any clues as to the manufacturer for these? I like them better than my current crimpers for two reasons: Foged quality tool, and the crimp itself well be almost 2X longer that the crimps the stamped steel crimpers make.

Geez, two bucks? I never luck out like that. I did pick up a Littletown 112 vise for $15 and an older (nice condition) Black and Decker 3/8" drill and jig saw for $15.

And you're right, the pros charge a fair amount more than ones run by the family. Overhead explains it, but sometimes they can be rude-- "I don't know who used to live here, all sales are final."

nice finds. i really like the crimpers! i struck out today, nothing at all.

Your crimpers are Thomas and Betts, one of the top standards for crimpers.

I knew they were FOR T&B connectors, I would not have expected them to make there own crimpers. Sort of two different industries...

I hit a pretty good sale today and made out with a handful of Plomb, Williams, Snap-on and Craftsman wrenches. I had to decide what sale i wanted to hit first since 2 were starting at the same time that day.

I think i chose wrong since i didn't get much at the first sale and the 2nd was fairly picked over. I did get the items mentioned above but missed 2 anvils and a bench vise on a stand. I can only imagine what other tools i missed at that sale and the garage had 3 older Craftsman tool boxes that were full of stuff!!

Ah, just remembered, I also got a 24" SS folding rule (General) in the booty (of stuff...). It needed a couple of rust spots removed (SOS pad) from sitting in with rusty ****, but its good to go now. It only folds in half but fits in a tool box drawer well at 12" long.

 

[Outlawmws]

Nice Plvmb, puller Bigcaddy! pebble even!

 

[bigcaddy]

Thanks outlaw. I also found a little open end wrench with a brand that i was not familiar with. It was a Billings with the "B" inside of a triangle. It was used and even looked a bit stretched open on one end but i think ill keep it in my box. Who know when ill find another pile of "junk" and come across a few more.

Nice!

I saw a similar puller set some time back and didn't buy it because I have way too many tools I hardly ever, if ever have or will use.

I should go back and see if its still there...

Is that a Crescent brand wrench just above the drill bits?

 

[ajchien]

Well, they're sold under the T&B brand. It's possible that they're relabeled from some other company, that I wouldn't know.

No that one is the Barcalo
