Two planned stops today, then a few just for kicks, glad I took the risk! First tool stop turned up nothing but some Ginsu knives and a wooden car totaling $3.50
Second planned tool stop was a lil better, saw the Craftsman in the box and it was marked $5 whole box, I grabbed it and the Sargent Level and parts washing tray for $9.25 total.
Saw a garage sale sign across the road from the second stop so we headed over. I got this noisy speedaire compressor, box of Popular Mechanics/Sciece from the 60s, Metal Wrench Rack, Crown Top Torque Wrench and Race Car box with two cars inside, all for $20 total.
After that score, I decided to venture out to the Snap On guys house again, saw he posted another ad mentioning tools. Problem is, he is one of the farthest out at 25 minute drive. I get out there and it's a bust, nothing new but HH ****. Boo, leaving there I decide to hit the over priced flea market down the road. I got the Craftsman Driver and Snap On socket for $1
Leaving there and headed home, still feeling the tingle of tools for sale I pass a poster board GS sign that said TOOLS!! I get to the house and there is no one but the seller, some folks leaving. Walking up the drive, I see a big hunk of rust and ask how much, "$70" he says, "It's OLD". I glance, trying not to overly excited and keep walking to the tool table. Nothing much left on the tables so without looking again, I ask if he'll take $50 on the rust bucket, thinking he will meet me at $60... He accepted the $50 and away I walk with my very first Wilton Bullet, to my surprise, it's a 5" Looks as if it has been welded possibly on the rear but it opens and closes smooth and tight.
One final stop near the shop on the way back and I got the lil flex neck lamp for a project for $1.
All in all, a good day sailing for me, hope all you guys make out like bandits too!!!
