2016 Garage Sale Thread

[3baygarage]

Just back from Florida in time for a good snowfall but I have some stuff to post. Checked out two flea markets while there. Nothing major but it was fun, lots of good deals to be found. Spent about $44.

PIC 1:

The blue handle one stumped me. It is a Matco truck brake spring tool. It cost $1 but come to find out it retails for over $100.

Also, part of a MATCO steering wheel lock plate puller, Snap On bearing driver handle, Blue Point ball peen.

PIC 2: Ratchets: 1/4" Craftsman + Napa, 3/8" Wright, Blackhawk, S-K, Indestro breaker bar.

PIC 3: Misc wrenches and screwdrivers, sockets: Snap On, s-k, Craftsman, Mac, Stahlwille, Apex extensions and Williams Vulcan dual marked 36mm socket.

PICS 4 + 5: Pexto sheet metal seam tool and unknown Osborne pliers?????

I picked up a Holley 2 banger carb today and a couple of misc screwdrivers for free today and yesterday. Didn't bother with pics.

3Bay, Osborne makes a lot of upholstery tools. What is the model number on them?

Was on the hunt for a larger air compressor for my shop, Came across this and left with it for $200. Listed as a 7hp 60 gallon (I am sure its probably less in reality) Works great. Now just need to get some extra muscle over here to get it out of the trailer.

 

[redm18]

Picked these up at a few different trips to the Restore. A set of Craftsman 1/2 Drive SAE sockets on a rail, a metcoid 1/2 ratchet and a couple of 1/2 extensions 1 craftsman and 1 SK

 

[redm18]

Also picked up 3 different adjustable wrenches 2 Crescent and a Diamond Alloy from my trips to the restore.

Picked this up for a steal. Very nice condition pipe bender.

You could also use it on the face on the anvil when using chisels.

Good idea would work great for that as well.

Re: Second day estate sale stuff

It starts like that, then you find another, and another, and loose drill bits and... First thing you know you have the equivalent of 20 or so 29 pc. fractional sets, 7-8 numbered sets , almost 4 dozen large bits, and...

I REALLY need a couple of those Hout drill file cabs...

Pulled another box today from the same place that Nine and I recently scored. Had to pay double the previous rate but couldn't argue with the price.

Snap On KRA-280 box:

Non-Snap On contents:

I think the well has run dry at this point but time will tell if they clean anything else like this out.

I was at an auction yesterday. Trying to buy a number of items but was grossly out bid on most things like anvils , vise's, Keen Kutter and Winchester tools. Pretty disappointed but if it's not right , it's not right! I did manage to salvage a few bargains out of the deal to the sum of 82.50.

Vintage Black and Decker drill and box. - The drill doesn't belong with the box though. Really just wanted the box.
7 hammers- Plumb, Craftsman, Williams, True Temper jet rocket with patent!
Seth Thomas travel alarm clock
Craftsman Kromedge hand saw-never used!
Miller Falls 1868 pat date hand vise- No tools in the handle
Plumb Victory boys axe- busted handle
Stanley brace-like new- made in England- the other older one is unmarked and the lot came with a 1/2" P & C Speed wrench... like I need another one
older USA Husky 3/8 socket set w/ metal box
3/4" John Deere breaker , 6" extension , 3 John Deere sockets, 1 craftsman and 1 true craft-japan

My poor Chiefs fell victim to the Pats... out coached and out played by Brady. Clearly the best to every play the game at quarterback (IMHO)

Had to run an errend this afternoon and since I was in the general direction, I decided to make a run over to the ReStore. It was packed. I got there about 2hrs after they opened for the week and had to wait to park. It was worth it for a change. I spent $18.06 (w/tax) and walked out with some SnapOn.

2 screwdrivers (at first I thought they were SnapOn, but they're just good clones. They'll be used for beaters.)
16pc bag of (mostly) SnapOn wrenches.

SnapOn OEXM13 13mm 12pt shorty combo wrench
_______OEXM10 10mm 12pt shorty combo wrench

_______OXI-12 3/8" 6pt shorty combo wrench

____2 - OXI-11 11/32" 6pt shorty combo wrench

_______OXI-10 5/16" 6pt shorty combo wrench

____2 - OXI-8 1/4" 6pt shorty combo wrench

_______OEX240 3/4" 12pt shorty combo wrench (1956)
_______OEX220 11/16" 12pt shorty combo wrench (1956)

_______OEX180 9/16" 12pt shorty combo wrench
_______OEX160 1/2" 12pt shorty combo wrench
_______OEX140 7/16" 12pt shorty combo wrench

_______J1214 3/16"-7/32" DOE wrench

IBM_2 - 9900005 1/4"-5/16" DOE wrench


I don't get over there very often, but this was the best haul from the ReStore in quite some time.

Awesome find Jake, I can't say I have ever seen a tool at the local restore here, just old doors and windows and piles of ugly tiles...

I was looking at that Vulcan the other day. Good buy

 

[3baygarage]

Wow Jake, I think a nice surprise find like that deserves a great big YOU ****!

 

[jakemac]

Yeah, this one is the same. I had to straddle a couple of boxes of tiles to find the bag of wrenches hiding on the top shelf.

Estate tool liquidation this morning Snap On KRA-21C.
I think its called a gable roof tool box? paid 60$ for it
That is more than i have ever paid for a estate sale tool chest but well worth it I think

 

[jakemac]

That box is in great shape. I'd just give it a cleaning and a new coat of wax and then put it to work.

 

[thecody59]

Hey guys what do you think about this estate sale? It has a lot of very valuable collectibles and cars and it says they have a lot of hand tools and power tools at the sale. I am wondering because i am thinking it may be way overpriced since of all the other stuff they are selling but maybe the tools will be priced cheap?

A buddy of mine told me I missed one hell of a moving sale last weekend.
Stopped in today. And asked if anything was still for sale.

This happened, and came with 10 unopened blades.
It is the older model with the heavy cast base.
$60

Nice box!

Rebound is 90%. It doesn't ring like my Hay Budden though.

Hmmm...more competition! Where are you at? If you're nearby let me know and we can share info now that Veeps is getting out.

 

[Sam'sAutoParts]

I think that is very fair and pretty top dollar for an estate sale. I would have bought it, and I've been looking for a KRA21. I've heard people also call them hip roof style boxes. They are a pretty good portable box.

Being laid up from falling at work I was able to hit 2 rare Thursday morning sales. Rare for this time of year any way and rare that I'm able to make one. Spent 85.00 bucks so it wasn't cheap but got some nice items.

2 DMT Course Diamond sharpeners in wooden box's-1 is unused

112 Buck knife - like new , very nice.
Parker Eagle Big Horn Knife -NIB- very sweet!
EZE-Lap Diamond steel sharpener - pat. pending
1 new belt for my belt sander
and 29 rounds of .44 cal. - New, not reloads! These run about a buck a piece now.

Two estate sales on the East Side today netted me a couple of goodies.....

SK 1/2dr SAE set, Starrett gage and a set of the older Craftsman Pro screwdrivers and what I think its a wire gage.

 

[nine4gmc]
