[Ironhorse]

I have noticed everyone posting there finds...so I thought I would post one of mine...really this happens about every three weeks..but to give you an idea..last time it was a bunch of speedaire compressors..all of this for 1k and even a wilton vise..lol...open to trades on all of it....for Snap on...just let me know...I am not keeping any of it..like I said about every three weeks..and now I just get it delivered.

 

[Ironhorse]

Got these 6 of them for $700 ( aircompressors 2 60 gal, 2 20 gal, and 1 Huge IR 80 gal 7.5hp all brand new) the other day as well.

That stainless chest looks a lot like my Craftsman. Too bad about the dented lid. I love mine and have had no neg issues with it.

It is a Made in China Westward brand ( Grainger's in house brand).I just call them Westurds...but for $125 I will not complain...all the stuff as pictured was 1k including the lista cab...which is really all I wanted..problem is I have to take the rest of the **** with it...it is all brand new..but all scratch and dent. Just thought I would share...just the tork's is the blue boxes retail for over that..lol.

What auction are you buying this stuff through?

What auction are you buying this stuff through?

None...a guy drops it off..I used to got fetch it but for the amount of **** I end up with I gave up....just in Coffin 2 ton chain hoist I had 5 of them all brand new...my cost $250ea...The guy gets all the grainger scrach and dent for nada, scrap then trys to unload it on me...new rigid stuff..all kinds of ****...he has tons of proto tools that I do not buy...if your in the area..buy a truck load off of him..It drives me nuts...I wanted one compressor so he drops off 6 of them...5 speedaire and 1 Huge 80gal 7.5hp IR all brand new..I think the problem is he picks it up and has no place to store it...ladders, flamable cabs ( which he just got two today ) huge steel cabs..etc.

Where are you located? I could use a pallet of cabinets!

 

[Bull]

Where the heck are you? I see stuff I like, but you are probably far away.

There are torque wrenches in the blue cases, you say? What kind?

Why does Grainger give this guy all this stuff for free?

TX outside of Houston...Cabinets, chargers drill presses, you name it..

Yes those are all Torque a few brand new 1" 100lbs one the rest are 3.8's westward brand...he gets it all for free...he has 1" brand new IR impacts...they write it off and they give it to him just to get it out of the way...that is the 2nd Jet band saw he dropped off in the past three weeks...it gets a little overwhelming...

Well, I wish I had your friend's luck first, and your luck second!

I'm too far away to help you unload the really good stuff.

All the Graingers do it...the trick is you have to be in a town that has huge grainger accounts and order a lot of stuff. These are the Houston Accounts...so the Oil Field companys order pipe racks ( I have three new ones form him) to 1 1/2 proto tools...just crazy stuff..if it breaks, they can not figure out how to use it, or scratch and dent...they throw it out...or in this case save it for the scrap guy. If you look at the lista cab..it is scrap and has that written on the side..works fine, Fans...all Dayton and all around 400ea...all brand new all scrap..CRAZY>>>

Can't you unload the shippable tools and whatnot through GJ?

To many of them and not enought time...The guy that gets the stuff is old school and does not do the internet..so he just unloads the stuff in trailer loads like this..I put the rivet guns on ebay the pop's ...a few of the Fluke meters he sells me for 2-5$ea...but I do not have time for it. If you want a box full just let me know i will tell him.

I may be contacting you when I pass through to Austin later in the year.

Man. What could I get a box full of, and for how much?

This is like some kind of ****...I'm getting all sweaty and excited.

Lets get a Uhaul and trailer and split it

 

[RCStocker]

I do a lot of flyhing and it would be just my luck that I get to Huston at leat 6 times a year. All on layovers. I need to drive there and fill my cargo trailer full. The gas would kill the deal these days. A grand for gas to get there and back. It is the same distance to my farm in Indiana or to my house in SO CA. Texas is too far south. You very lucky. I would buy all of it I could get my hands on. Years ago I did over a hundred thousand dollars wroth of buisness a year with Grainger. I never go offers like that.

 

[2oolhound]

You ****!!!

Any one from Canada's west coast planning on going down that way? At those prices maybe we could charter a plane.

 

[BeaverPuncher]

This whole thread is filled with awesome. So where do I sign up?

 

[KZOC]

Any chance of you unloading that Kennedy?

I'll shoot down from Austin and pick it up...

[KF5LCH]

Ironhorse, you selling this stuff or just showing it off? That's a hella haul you got there.

What's the status on the air compressors?

 

[gooseadrian]

Dam I want that yellow Kennedy!

 

[Danglerb]

Just my luck, wife was in Houston last couple days and wouldn't even bring me back a suitcase of BBQ, so don't think she would have gone for tools.

Flat rate priority mail box with a express mail tyvek envelope inside can securely hold a lot of hand tools and ships cheap.

 

[KZOC]
