Good Day at the Pawn Shops

[odelay01]

Hi everybody. Did my usual weekend crawl of the area pawn shops and found some pretty cool stuff. Found my first Indestro, Thorsen, and Bonney wrenches. Even found a Heyco BMW wrench.

Anyone can find cool stuff at the pawnshop, the real question is....

How much was it?

 

[odelay01]

Would you believe all for less than $20. Ed EOD are you still active duty? I retired from the Air Force in 2005. Aim High!

Very nice!! I have some Stanley phillips and flathead screwdrivers with the same handles...

I found an interesting Bridgeport wrench with standard on one side and metric on the other. I thought that was pretty cool for an old wrench.

Was that end to end, or front to back (9/16=14mm 1/2=12?) I just got one like the latter I described yesterday... (says "Forged Steel" and U.S.A., but nothing else besides the size markings...

Outlawmws,

Mine is 9/16 = 14mm - 1/2 = 12mm and has Bridgeport and Made in the USA but not Forged Steel. I think it is pretty cool that it has both size descriptions as metric could not have been very common when this wrench was produced.

It's for removing or replacing the spring loaded retaining clips on drum brake shoes.

EDIT: I type too slow...

r olson 06,

The tool with the pliers is actually a brake tool made by Mac.

Man, we must be some old guys to recognize that antique tool
