Nope, strictly a push button. High quality piece, too.
^^^^ This!
65ranchero ***** for the torque wrench!
Thread Boss shakes head, "Naughty, Naughty."
Rates a **** for the printer!So a good day went to great after a discussion with my son - more on that later.
Col Flea day, plus 2 (3) planned stops plus 2 TOO's one of which was a church Flea.
Col Flea was a bit slow: a pack of Silk Lites for a buck, and a par of toy derringers (replacing my childhood) for $10
One YS produced: for $15 total - Porter Cable and Rockwell routers, plus a Stanley 78 plane in VG shape. the Japanning is almost 100% - both routers run the RW needs bearing lube at a minimum.
Then a stop at the great ES from last week; closed but one of the 2 brothers was there, remembered me and the 3D printer was still there, and came home with me for $20!
It's an Ender 3 and is almost unused. - this was what I discussed with my son and He said I got it for Highway Robbery. it came with a spool of PVA and another of PETG. (one of those spools cost more than I spent)
He has a similar Ender 3 Max Neo now and really likes his.
Then the Church Sale and a Gerber multi-tool for $5 this one IIR is std issue to US troops - I have another pair but if its slightly different its a very similar center pull design.
The Triangle picture stands were a TOO for a buck each and are for my smaller Solar panels I use for 12V up camping. and the combo wrench is a Long C Craftsman from a late posted stop.

Yesterday my wife spent building some crates from scratch to get our haul home.Woke up at 4am today to head to a tool sale. It is about 1,600 miles away which is a bit further than I usually travel. Hope to get some pictures up tonight.
Those early 4 points are rare! Nice find! That deserves some suckage.Went to a big tool sale today and came home with some interesting finds. This sale was ran by a tool collecting junkie trying to downsize a bit. The tool spread was quite interesting with a number of items I had never seen before. I think more than anything this guy was all about the thrill of the hunt. Discovering and researching interesting tools and of course getting **** worthy deals. I assume once that rush wore off he didn't have much attachment to even the rarest of finds and overall the prices were very fair.
Here is a tool I had no idea existed (other than say something like the modern day Tite-Reach extension). It is a non-ratcheting ratchet where the head spins relative to the handle spinning. The seller was excited to show it to me and of course I couldn't turn it down for the $8. Apparently these are quite rare and sought after in the aviation world.
I haven't seen this particular box before but I love the dual branding.
I dug through tubs of sockets and found a few 1920's era Snap On S/O sockets. I always look for these. Most people don't pay any mind to such things as they are not shiny and chrome with a big Snap On billboard attached. The seller immediately knew what they were but only wanted $1-$2 a socket.
A nice little set of metric Apex magnetic sockets. I always try and grab Apex stuff in the wild whenever I come across it, especially when it's cheap. All these for $10.
I took a closer look and compared it to some catalog pictures yesterday, and I think you're right. It looks very like the as-sold boxes, and even has what I think is the remnants of an inside lid sticker.That is pretty close to a description of all my small tap n die sets. Due to the thin width of the tools, don't really need 3D cases. I have a smaller one running around that is much cheaper than this one just two pairs of spikes for hinges. This one is only one board thick at each half, with a little space routed out in the top due to the thickness of the bigger bits.
These aren't nearly as delicate as a micrometer, don't need the extra space.
@Patrickm82 , you ****.After that I stopped home and grabbed my son who said one of his little buddies parents were having a sale that we checked out. Made out pretty good for $5.
Stanley clamp on vise 2” jaws
Panavise with nice plastic jaws
Starrett 160 machinist vise with the case hardened finish
Plomb 3/8 pebble ratchet crusty as hell, works in the direction it’s set to but selector is stuck.
Bonney CV stud puller
I don’t do any reloading, but I know what a of powder costs, got all this for way less than 1 can.
And didn't even tell us he was coming so we could have a celebratory drink afterwards. (Or before so we could get him drunk and beat him too it)
. I am 37 so hopefully the adoption route.
I will get a thread going once we get the crates back and start unpacking. The majority of these will be going back into circulation so other Plomb collectors can fill out there sets. It was part of the agreement with the previous owner of the stuff. He wanted to get back out so people could enjoy it.
National Drill Stand for fractional sizes
