$30 worth of tools in a large 6517 box , mostly Craftsman, a few random S-K, Snap On, Williams, etc. Nearly full 30# R22, $10. Really nice Lyon folding chair, 50 cents. This is what was left after the guy who got there 30 min before me was done loading his truck..

$2 for all of them. They will make nice Christmas ornaments..

Here are 60 broken Plomb and Snap On ratchets that I picked up at a garage sale in Dallas.

Using a graphic design program, create silhouette graphics of the different tools. Take these graphics to a sign shop, were you can have vinyl images of the tools made. Once your tool board is white (or the light color of your choice) , apply the vinyl images to the board. Then, apply your...

With garage temps of 100+ any time after 10am, I start off with fresh bell pepper, cilantro, tomato, orange, lemon juice, then move on to water. If I know that I am going to be working for a while, I will make some carrott, apple, banana, orange juice ahead of time so that I can drink fresh cold...

I had considered posting this in the classified, but since I am looking to give this away free, I was not sure that would be the right place to post. If I am posting in the wrong spot, I am sure someone will let me know.. Anyway, I bought this paint shaker a while back, thinking that I could...

I agree that good deals are few and far between. However, i do happen to work more than 40 hours each week. The vintage tool purchases i have made in the past few years are great for my hobby and some even help with my part time job; but these kinds of items arent anything that i was jonsing for...

Thanks for all the replies. Not wanting to sell it, or restore it; I gave it a quick wipe down with WD-40, and have already started to fill it up.

This 1961 KR-58A came home with me today, along with a few random old tools (that I haven't had time to go through, as I just dumped them in to a tote so that I could load the boxes by myself). These old boxes are great for small tool & part storage.

I have searched google and eBay, and have not been able to find anything like this. Does anyone have any idea what the original purpose of "gloves in a can" would have been? The gloves appear to be made of a thick, possibly heat resistant material..

Thanks for such a great thread. I have been searching for some useful HF info for quite some time.

Yes, I did get a key cutting machine out of the deal. With as many old things with locks that tend to come my way, and my buckets of old keys, I was thinking that I could put it to work. I was already able to modify a 50's Chevy ignition key to fit the lock cylinder on a KR550B box, although I...

That was fast!! Thank You!! I guess this old timer must have worked on clocks too..

Like a piece of dark room equipment?

I really try to do some research before posting the "what is this" but this one has my puzzled. It came from the garage of an old timer who did their own reloading, and key making. The only marking is "GERMANY" on the square steel rod that screws into the base. From it's weight (heavier than...
