This looks like a VW tool. Anybody know what it is?

:eek:

Yikes! Last time I looked at vidmars on CL they were running $100 per drawer!

They look like drawer slide retainer clips for a toolbox. I need a couple for an old Craftsman toolbox and it is outrageous what they charge for them. I need 3 of these:

OMG! the red Coleman @Davefr. The Western knife! @Outlawmws. (Also thanks for the pointer on the Silk-Lites!) But I think the grade gauge wins on this page! @stormking Got a few smalls at a really old garage yesterday. The Defiance Stanley tape measure makes this cartoony "clack-clack"...

When the price is right, I'll always pick up consumables whether they be Dawn or WD40 or steel wool or aluminum foil. This last sale had bulk paper towels but I would need a dispenser. Thanks to ebay: Didn't even have to drill any holes. Just used the existing holes on the side of my...

That German socket set is cool!

Found a couple of nice things recently plus the most handy tool ever! At least if you are a tool picker! New 10" Wilton wood vise, $50. Fancy pulley. Kennedy cantilever, $10, probably because leather handle was broken. And the best tool ever. A bundle of fine wires in a hard plastic tube...

Yes, the pliers look like they would work well. They don't look cheap to manufacture so that might be why they faded away. They are marked Dover, O. and my immediate thought was "tools made in Oregon?" But then googling showed it was Ohio which made more sense!

Couple of interesting things and a "Yahtzee" find. A round "O" Plomb Los Angeles wrench. Dated 1931 BluePoint Boxocet wrench. Vintage dentist air pump. Grip-n-Stik pliers. And the "Yahtzee" coarse tooth Snap-on ratchet adapter No.6.

There are all sorts of things baked into the high retail price of Snap-On tools. 1) If you deal with large buyers like the govt or Boeing lets say, of course you have a ridiculously high retail price, because you can. 2) BOGO promotions are built into the high retail price. 3) Those...

Picked up something interesting besides the routine Plomb and Proto. Looks like a tool for knurling. Makers mark is "Horia" which gives you a clue as to where it might be used. Has something to do with watch or clock making.

Those are WW11 barbed wire cutters, I guess carried by infantrymen.

May not really qualify as found in the road but this was left at my brother-in-laws house. We're guessing that it may have jumped out of the back of some guys truck when he hit the speed bump in front of his house. Since he is an avid DIYer around the house, some neighbor may have picked it up...

This front end kit has been very handy. I think I've used all the pieces at one time or another. Mostly for tie rods and bushings and may not be up for big PU trucks.
