Been off the thread for quite a bit and just scanned 5 or 6 pages but ***** to Beemer, Freudian Floyd, and Fred Knox! Haven't been picking much lately, fell off my bike and jacked up my shoulder a couple weeks ago. I'm behind on posting stuff though cause life's also been crazy busy. Here are...

Couple small hauls from the weekend $5 for the Gerber and Maglite combo plus a roofer’s hatchet that is Kelly assuming the handle is original…unfortunately the maglite tailcap was seized and I destroyed it trying to get it off. So I’m in the hunt for a functioning maglite to replace it with...

12-933 for the long one and 12-932 on the short

@jeffmoss26 you **** for the $5 BE set! Hard to find those boxes... Had an expensive day today, took the morning off as there was a pro run sale right by the house with a machine shop in the basement. Photos looked super clean and did not disappoint. I got there a few minutes after they...

Got a few weeks of finds to report, been selling more than picking but I managed to make a big dent in my death pile so I'm backing to buying **** I don't need :rocker: This sale had about 100 harbor freight socket and wrench sets but there was also some Craftsman in there. Can't believe the...

Lucked into a nice 1960 Snap-on catalog today. I always look for catalogs and never find them, can't believe someone didn't pick this up before I got to it as the sale had been going on for a few weekends apparently...

@mikeinri *****! Took the day off today and ran around a bit Pretty scarce pickings for most part but the last sale made up for it in entertainment value plus an old catalog which I never find! $10 on the Mac storage box at a garage sale, this will be great for filling with 50 pounds of...

Beemer *****! Those wobble sockets go for ridiculous amouts:oops: I haven’t been picking much lately as I’ve been attempting to tame my increasingly ridiculous death pile by selling at the flea market. I’ve sold through most of my Snap-on so I decided to bid on a few auction lots. Didn’t come...

EDIT: ***** to mrbill for the snap on box, ctuai for the uke:oops:and 3baygarage for the haul! Sales have been plentiful around here but cheap tools have not! Resorted to picking up some Mac sockets off CL and paid out the nose at a little flea but picked up some cool stuff. The Mac 1/2...

Unfortunately the punch is a General…I can’t leave these behind when I see them though and I have a few Starretts in the collection. I thought it was a Starrett at first too!

Gout is the worst! I’ve had it a few times and the flares lasted months. Worst pain ever. You might want to look into allipurinol, you have to take it daily but I haven’t even had a “touch of gout” since I went on it…

Had the day off and despite my better judgement decided to go to a pro run sale that was heavily advertised and stuffed to the gills with vintage collectibles...toys, jewelry, you name it. Saw a big tool box in one pic and decided I'd try and run by after the initial frenzy had died down. It...

Cleaned up this Husky set, the earliest (New Britain era) catalog on ITCL is ‘57 and I’m guessing this 5109 set is probably in that neighborhood. For some reason this one speaks to me, might have to keep it! EDIT: There's a '38 catalog that is post Husky acquisition by NBM in '33 so I'm...

Stumbled across a couple leathermans for 2 bucks each and almost left this minty Swiss Army Knife for another $2 as it was in a generic corduroy sheath. Glad I stopped to pull it out!

I was looking to see if I had any other Bog sockets and checked this old Bog set… Two Chrome X Quality sockets that look nothing like any of my other Bog sockets Maybe this is just people buying from Western Auto and replacing lost pieces? I dunno 🤷 EDIT: Nevermind, found some Bog sockets...
