I’m way behind on posting pick ups from yard sales from the last month. Took a pick of last week’s one sale hit before going camping. $15 for the works which included a pair of pressure solvent sprayers, 18” Williams 3/8” extension Herbrand DOE and combo MAC wood handle flat-blade

@d42jeep , nice haul👍 Would you be able to post a couple more pics of those DOE’s (especially the angle-head) and that Stillson style pipe wrench?

Had the day off yesterday and put in a couple hours driving around town following Estate Sale signs to dead ends and driving past a handful of nothingburger yard sales. My wife got word of a tool sale via FB marketplace, which I hit shortly after its opening time of 8am. Stepped over a largish...

I’m still using yard sale tools I picked up 20 some odd years ago. It’s been pretty fun getting back into hitting them again to see what pops up. I’ve got several sets I’m trying to complete, but end up mostly starting new sets to start working on now. The funnest though has been finding these...

Full to the top!👍

Two yard sales today grossed 4 times the ten sales I hit last weekend. First sale got the two paint spray guns and mineral spirits. Second sale hit a wrench and socket lode. Also picked up some Snap-On and Craftsman screwdrivers, MAC vacuum gauge and Sears compression tester. The wrench lode...

@duddly , cool historical pic of the Navy shop. Funny how my eyes zoomed in on the Parker swivel jaw, swivel base vise.

Nice job @Shiftless 👍

Diesel would work about as good. A little less flammable than gasoline, but still flammable.

Any pics of the other side to compare to?

That’s regarding the comparison to the iffy Columbian, *I think*. The Wilton is a way better vise in several ways.
