Found A Few Things On Craigslist

[jlh92]

Bored at work so I'm browsing the local CL and stumbled upon these:

1/4" Drive 13 piece Socket Set w/ Ratchet $10

Tool Box w/ several Socket Sets and Wrenches $45

3/8" Drive 23 piece Socket Set w/ Ratchet $20

Think they're worth looking into? I might hang on to some of the stuff but would likely try to sell the bulk of it at some point.

I'm always a little bothered when sellers are a little vague on the condition and description. Pictures should always be posted to help with the sale. I guess if he's close enough to you it wouldn't hurt to check it out, those are very good prices.

Thorsen and Bonney are respected tool brands,,, If close by, take a look...

no pics is usually a scam

pics or it didn't happen!

The first one may be worth a call to find out what the brand is, but otherwise wouldn't mess with it. Most people would put a brand if it is decent, but who knows.

If the other two are legit, they seem like good deals, if you are in need of those tools.

The same guy has all three ads so it looks like I'll be going down to look at everything. I'll give him a call this afternoon and get more info or set up a time to see everything.

I'm always in need of tools, regardless of how many I already have.

He may be an older guy or gal who doesn't know how to load pics or hasn't got a digital camera.

For the area he/she is in that's quite likely.

Talked to him yesterday and was emailed these pictures this morning! Even had a 1/2" Easco set he hadn't listed yet.

All these tools came from his brother who was a mechanic for the Air Force some time ago.

Long story short we're meeting up tomorrow evening and I'll be $105 poorer. Sadly he wouldn't budge on price, but after seeing how clean everything is I don't mind paying his asking price.

The open-end wrenches say . . . KAL . . . . . never heard of it personally, but selling on Ebay with Made In Japan. What brand are the 3/8" drive in the small green box ?? If they are SK you fine. If they are no name, then not so good.

I do see a Proto adjustable wrench . . . you did well there !!

In any event you'll have speeder handle and some tools that were made back in the day before everything was outsourced to China.

Bonney, Proto, KAL, and Easco are all good stuff - Thorsen is my least favorite of those brands, but it's fine too.

Here this will help you out with KAL tools: I might add they are very well made if you are having second thoughts.

The KAL wrenches are KAL-USA. 3/8" stuff is Proto.

I mainly only wanted the tool box and 1/2" Easco set. I'll probably sell everything else on eBay or on here when I can.
