2018 Garage Sale Thread

[Catfishdan]

Not a huge haul, but it sure felt good to have time for the flea market on a Sunday.
Got a handful of vintage 1/4" sockets, a Walden spinner and a Bonney 1/4" breaker, an SK diamond 1/2" speeder, a plomb wf ratchet and screwdriver, and some plomb combos- one of which has cool markings that I'll ask about after it's bath.

Speedmaster ratchet
Williams s52
And a 1/4 mustang
Also a western Germany tape.

1) any idea on the age of tape measure?
2) how difficult is disassembly on speedmaster?

 

[Stuart in MN]

Went to the Twin City Roadsters swap meet this morning, the last swap of the year here in Minneapolis. It snowed like crazy, so wasn't too comfortable...I'm still trying to get warmed up.

I got three Diamond Calk pliers, one Bernard pliers and a small Vise-Grips, three early Hot Rod magazines, and a Nylint Michigan digger crane just like the one I had as a kid.

 

[BlueBomber]

Macduff: I have one of those German round tape measures, but have no clue as to age.

Just when I thought there were no prospects for me this weekend, up pops one 10 minutes away. SWMBO left me at home today, so I hustled down to the sale. Here's what I found for $30.



100-ft+ of 3/8 steel cable with hooks (alone, worth double what I paid)
Early Craftsman saw table blade cover and miter slide--yes, I separated them from their parent saw on the workbench, but I bought the one I own without those items, so I don't feel too bad
Goodell-Pratt 188a push dril--no bits in the handle, unfortunately
Craftsman 3/8 RHFT ratchet
Craftsman 1/2" ratchet
Hinsdale s-15 ratcheting hex drive handle, marked "Pat. Pending"
Steel Craft mini pipe wrench, marked East Germany
Black & Decker 12" drill extension
Large non-name tire pressure gauge
Snow brush because..."Winter is coming"
Large and small cement trowels
Boat roller thingie
2-step pulley for an electric motor
Two hose clamps
Set of regular size Craftsmen open-end wrenches
Set of mini Craftsman ignition DOE wrenches
Set of Dunlap mini combo wrenches
Power drum pipe clog auger
Ash bucket to haul it all home in



25-ft coiled air hose kit (price tag on bag says $49.95)
Peak antifreeze
Trenching shovel
Replace shovel t-handle
Two Craftsman pipe clamps
Five pieces of 3/16" x 1" x 48" steel bar stock for future projects

The owner of the cleanout company also turned me on to his sale next weekend in Hopkinton, MA. SMBO has me scheduled to move equipment into her new office that day, so I don't know if I can make it. It looks amazing.

And a 1/4 mustang

That hinge handle is cool and not common!

 

[Private Lugnutz]

Small haul for me from a quick stop at the flea market after my son's baseball game...

The Williams L-handle had me scratching my head for a few seconds. The drive end is bigger than 3/8" but smaller than 1/2". It's not a drive tool. It's a special Williams wrench for turning the safety set screw at the top of a safety lathe dog.

That 1/4-inch drive Tee-handle looking almost white with a WWII phosphate finish is a Walden-Worcester 3116.

The ignition wrenches are Duro-Chrome E series. Missing three.

 

[bluebolt]

A couple of close up pictures of the Walden Worcester Spintite cast iron nut driver holder since several people were interested.

 

[Private Lugnutz]

Nice, bb! And none too common.

 

[Outlawmws]

Only one I've ever seen... I have a pretty old sheet metal holder for Xcelite, but collect those wood handle spin tites, not Xcelite...

 

[Duct Tape Man]

Only a couple saves, and a small box full of gift tools as well:

pic 1: an Audel's book on Layouts, Foundations and Framing, a 4-oz Craftsman ball peen in excellent shape, and a Kodak camera close-up attachment, No. 13, all for $3

pics 2-4: gift from a friend, was cleaning out his toolbox and gave some USA-made goodness to me. Includes a pop rivet tool, a Ridgid 14" pipe wrench, a Stanley square, large set of Channellock slip-joint pliers, some chisels of various makes, two vise-grips (one a Vise-Grip welding jaw, other a Craftsman), a LeverWrench vise-grip (I think the previous owner welded on the washer to hang the tool on a hanger or nail), a couple vintage Yankee screwdrivers, and a small hunting knife (no markings). Free tools are awesome!

 

[Stuart in MN]

and a small hunting knife (no markings).

That looks a lot like the Boy Scout knife I have, check it again for 'BSA' stamped on it somewhere.

 

[LesserSon]

Cool crisp autumn morning out with Mrs LesserSon. Coffee and donut en route, followed by sausage & egg on a kaiser roll and home fries at Jake’s. Thought I could talk the vendor down to $20 on this 1/3hp blick grinder, but he held his ground, though he let me transfer the shields and on tool rest from a 1/4hp grinder and added one replacement 6” wheel.
Loaded up on some other items, including Plomb punches, then spotted this 2004 Buck 112 Ranger! I’ve been keeping an eye open for a 110 Hunter to replace one I had lost, but when I saw this, I figured it would be even better. When the vendor said $15, I knew I would get it. I counter offered $10, and he said $12. Sold!
After, lunch with daughter in Mt Airy. The standing tables had COOL repurposed industrial pedestals!

 

[Outlawmws]

I like the Buck Ranger; not nearly as common as the 110 though! For $12 that was a steal!

 

[jeffmoss26]

dug through the screwdriver bin at the ReStore yesterday and found some cool stuff.
2 are Bell System, the bottom left is an old Craftsman.

 

[Prichman38]

Today’s finds:
Unknown manufacturer toolbox. Drawers work great. Some tools including four MAC SAE sockets pictured below.
German SAE dog bone wrench
My first double headed adjustable wrench.
Older DOE I would like to know more about
The tape Measure is Scarett 25 Ft
Royal needle nose pliers made in a Japan. Great quality.
The 2nd tape measure is 50ft Lufkin
Third tape measure says K&E and Albany Steel Manufacturing came in the U.S Navy leather case.
channel lock 927 retaining ring pliers ($2 from restore)
Swedish air pump
6” Snap-on Bluepoint Adjustable wrench.

THe DOE is International Harvester.

 

[Outlawmws]

Glad to see I'm not the only one picking up the pocket drivers!

 

[3baygarage]

Nice find on the Scholler.

Macduf- the Speedmaster was made by Wright if you didn’t know. I posted the Wright version here,

https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=7314867&postcount=76

have not taken it apart yet but pretty sure Powderkeg had pictures of the guts posted somewhere. I don’t think it’s too crazy, maybe open it in a bag like the buys recommend in case of a ball bearing or spring going lost.

Bluebolt- Spintite rack is here,

[3baygarage]

Socket finds this week:

A few Silver Eagle deeps, Mac screwdriver, Proto, Koken wobble extension, Matco flex socket, Kobalt, SK, and a bunch of Craftsman Easy Read “Wrench Sockets”. I think there are more from the set lurking in the bins at the pawn shop.

 

[_vin_]

Got the 1/3 hp craftsmen grinder(has both eye shields and side covers) and Desmond dresser no. 0 for 20$. How worn are the cutters?

 

[Prichman38]

One more find from today:
Heller 6” Masterench

Gimicky speed wrench but made in USA




Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

 

[Outlawmws]

The Heller is not a speed wrench, it's a pipe wrench. They made smooth jaw versions as adjustable wrenches, and they are not really a gimmick. They work VERY well and better than the average crescent.

I carry an 8" in my camping gear for propane connections and such.

More on that here: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=394029&goto=newpost

 

[Duct Tape Man]

That looks a lot like the Boy Scout knife I have, check it again for 'BSA' stamped on it somewhere.

I can find no markings on it anywhere, possible the BSA has been worn off sometime, or it's a good copy of the BSA knife. I agree it's probably patterned after a Scout knife, since the handle is a little too small for an adult's.

 

[tym]

The ignition wrenches are Duro-Chrome E series. Missing three.

What sizes are you missing? I might have them.

 

[Jim_No_Garage]

So I went to an Estate Sale on Saturday and found the Proto Los Angeles 4" Adjustable. On Sunday we went to a Flea Market and found the Barcalo Buffalo 12" Adjustable and the Indestro 1/4" Ratchet.

Cheers

Jim

 

[Outlawmws]

DT man and Stuart, its more likely that the BSA version was made from that model; many of the "hard" tools" for scouts were simply "BSA approved" and marked with the logos (with a cut to BSA)

 

[Private Lugnutz]

What sizes are you missing? I might have them.

E63, E65, and E67, see here on the Duro-Indestro thread, Tim. I checked my orphans and I only have those sizes in 8XX series and an E68 (if I wanted to go to the 9-wrench set, which I don't! ), so, I could use 'em if ya got 'em. Full admission, I have a full Duro E set in a pouch and another full Duro E set without a pouch. So need is not exactly the right word! But now that I have four, I need three more. You know the feeling! HAHA. I have a whole drawer full of ignition wrenches, easily over a hundred, in a dozen different brands (incl Blue-Point, Williams, Armstrong, Craftsman, and others), so let me know if you want to trade.

 

[Private Lugnutz]

It must be deep into October. Outlaw's got the jackolantern avatar out!

 

[Outlawmws]

Jim I like those Indestro ratchets that style a lot. I've had a flex head 3/8 for decades and still use it all the time.

 

[Outlawmws]

Yup!

 

[LesserSon]

I think I solved a personal mystery today. I’ve had a slipjoint pliers for a while now, and wondered what the single mark on them stood for. MH or HW, joined in a circle.
Today, I find a larger pair with a very similar logo, but with McKaig-Hatch Buffalo NY explicit. Alloy Artifacts shows the second logo, but not the first.

 

[Provincial]

So I went to an Estate Sale on Saturday and found the Proto Los Angeles 4" Adjustable. On Sunday we went to a Flea Market and found the Barcalo Buffalo 12" Adjustable and the Indestro 1/4" Ratchet.

I found a Wizard version of this ratchet last weekend. It is shown in post #6956 of this thead and also (with better photos) in post number 47 in the Wizard thread here:

Dang BBomber, that shop is crammed full of goodness, but when they open the door it's going to be like a dozen raccoons in a burlap sack. Good luck!

 

[Private Lugnutz]

I think I solved a personal mystery today.

I can confirm, LS. Definitely McKaig-Hatch. It was on just about everything they made. Here (wrench on top) is a WWII DOE wrench with the logo and a carbon steel series AISI number forged-in.

I will take a peek at what I have tonight and let you know.

EDIT: Checked and what I have are an 81 (7/32 × 7/32) and an 83 (1/4 × 1/4), side not quite what you're seeking.

I did dig up a Williams Superrench 9011 (7/32 × 13/64). Not sure of age, but the simple "Alloy" marking and what looks like a cad plated finish suggest WWII.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Here is some that I picked up for all of the Disstonian Institue alumni! All 5 are razor sharp. All but the center saw have the etches clear and not pitted. The two nicest ones are on the left and are Atkins.

 

[Private Lugnutz]

tym: Thanks for checking you stash. And I'm flush with Williams ALLOY Superrenches, thanks.

My stash 'tis but a meager pittance compared to what you and other GJers have in your garages, basements, and secret closets.

 

[tin medic]

Spent way to much on this on the Bay but it's Plomb and WWII, so it's ok.
