    2022 Garage Sale Thread

    Would love to see more pics of the bicycle tools. Looks like you have some quality stuff there, including some of the Snap On made Wrench Force stuff. That top orange and red pedal wrench is a Unior, which as Pfaustus mentioned is a solid Euro brand. Funnily enough Unior tools in Europe are all...

    2020 Garage Sale Thread

    Thanks to GJ's Craigslist Deal thread I picked up a couple dozen heavy duty stacking bins from a machine shop in CT yesterday. These will be a great upgrade to my current duct tape/cardboard box storage system. Better organization and way better aesthetics. Since I "had" to be on the road for...

    Found a deal on craigslist? - List Here!

    Thanks for the heads up! I took a drive to CT yesterday to pick up a couple of dozen bins to replace my current cardboard box storage situation. I made a day of the trip and hit some estate sales along the way. No point in having storage if it is empty! The seller has these posted to eBay if...

    My new Bike Repair Stand

    Congrats on the deal and well done with the cleanup! I use mine as much for non bike stuff as I do working on bikes. The height and adjustability is just so perfect for so many tasks.

    End of the $249 HF US General 26" cabinet coupon???

    Thanks for the warning- I had actually purchased a yellow 26" last week using the $279 coupon. Went back with the $249 coupon yesterday and the store refunded me the difference.

    2019 Garage Sale Thread

    With the weather finally warming up and the sun coming out I decided to skip the tag sales and go ride my bicycle yesterday. Of course I put a little backpack in my pocket "just in case".... Sure enough I eventually rolled past a pile of stuff on a lawn with everyone's favorite FREE sign. The...

    2019 Garage Sale Thread

    My first thought reading about the "cleanup" was oooh, I've probably done that before... As someone relatively new to tool-specific picking/collecting what is the line between 'as found', 'cleaned up' and 'ruined'? Also, I've seen the cautions around cadmium plated stuff but I'm still not...

    2019 Garage Sale Thread

    Got out to a single sale this weekend, which is fine by me since I really should be working on my "I bought this to flip and pay for the other stuff but now I kinda want to keep it" pile.... Most everything was in a poorly lit basement and will need some TLC, but the price was right so.... A...
