I stopped by the flea market for the first time in weeks today and actually found a few things. A plomb wf40 speeder, a snap on fx61 flex extention , a 3/8 SK ratchet and a 4” proto adjustable. My favorite though was the little parts cabinet to add to my stack. It was like 9 bucks in all.

Free tools are the best. I cashed in my Home Depot and Ace hardware rewards points and got a bunch of new toys. A big Veto tote bag, Milwaukee lights, 7 and 10 inch cobras, and a stubby 1/4” Milwaukee ratchet.

I scored a 2 oz. Paschall hammer today for a buck! For those occasions when my 1 oz. just won’t get it done.

Awesome find. I was sure they didn’t exist! Now I’m back on the hunt.

I scored a nice hoard of plomb sockets at the flea market this morning, including a bunch of war time 3/8” drive and some 1/4” sockets. The bell of the ball is the 5221 socket (21/32), which I did not have. Date coded 1a.

Had a good morning at the flea market for the first time in a while. 19 bucks got me a Bonney 1/4” ratchet, sk breaker and sk Wayne driver, an artisan adjustable, a plomb 3/4” extension, and an enchilada tray full of mostly plomb sockets.

My free bag from the spring promo came in and I set it up to keep in my daily driver so I don’t have to take my van out for little jobs. Should be everything I need for small jobs like replacing a faucet or light fixture, etc… time will tell. The drill holster comes out to clip on a belt

I got two Sockets today to fix my new wera tool check. A 14mm for my Toyota an an 11mm to handle 7/16” stuff. Only had to ditch the 5.5mm to fit them in. I also got rid of the security torx and most of the posidrive bits in favor of sae hex and Robertson bits. Should be ready to tackle most...

I’ve wanted a veto bag for a long time now and the spring promotion finally made me pull the trigger. This is my new main hand tool bag for my van. Everything fit just how I’d hoped. one side for wood tools, the other for mechanical stuff. I mainly do remodeling and handyman type work. Yes, it...

This is absolutely correct. I’ve had both.

I truly don’t know. I’ve never seen an a. Plomb tool with model numbers like that.

Picked up an oldie today. I thought I had others, but they are all “calif tool”, not a. Plomb.

I picked up this unmarked sk set of 1/4” sockets today. No brand, no “chrome alloy”, nothing. Just the sizes.

I got out to a few sales this morning. Only scored at one. 20 bucks got me a 21oz hart hammer, pack of cut off wheels, craftsman wrenches and cotterpin puller, oil filter wrench, steering wheel spinner, ignition wrench set, and my two favorites, an a. plomb wrench and a set of unmarked sk ish...

Interesting fact: today I found my fourth pebble 1210 in the wild. Odd.
