Mea culpa! Ok, I now see I can only be GIVEN suckage not self-claim suckage. I'm learning. Meanwhile, some of the deals you guys have been scoring on this thread are really unbelievable (bareass172's haul on page 116 comes to mind). Makes me wonder why I ever paid retail for tools in the first...

Went back to the estate sale that I visited 2 days ago. The place had mostly been picked clean and it was closing time which meant the estate seller wanted to go home and thus there were great deals on the left overs. I felt I did well today esp. since I felt I paid close to retail on a couple...

Thanks for the feedback folks! Fascinating info jakemac on my Columbian 804. I couldn't make out the numbers. Yes, it doesn't look like a lot for ~$350 but those items added up quickly. I'd been lurking on the forum and watching my local Craigslist tool section for a bargain on a used vise, but...

Ok guys how did I do? I'm new this. I went to my first estate sale and made my first Craigslist purchases. Got the following: Tool box with some misc tools $5 A file cabinet drawer of vintage maps (something I'm kind of into) $40 Nesting wrench set $10 (with neat little holder) ~15 files for...

Wait4me, I like the Seville UltraHD commercial work bench but it's not adjustable height and while it's probably stronger with the center leg, it's a foot shorter than the 8' Gladiator. I like that I could slide my 52" adjustable height Husky box/workbench underneath the open space of the 8'...

I need a workbench ASAP. The 8' adjustable Gladiator with a maple top is $412. Anyone seen a better deal on this? If it periodically goes on sale at a good discount I can wait for it. It's 1 inch wider and the top is 1/2 thicker than the Husky version, which is $62 cheaper, so I still think...

Love the write up so far. Amazing bench! You are skilled and resourceful at scoring good deals! Thanks for sharing.

"Legs have 2-inch square footpads with hole for mounting to the floor." Can the table be mounted on casters?

Re: Nest Cam & Self Monitored Security Does anyone have any direct experience with the Ring Doorbell Cam? I just saw it here today in a local news story: http://www.livingsnoqualmie.com/video-snoqualmie-front-porch-theft-captured-ring-doorbell/ The company's site is here: https://ring.com/...

I just bought M18 Fuel hammer drill/ impact driver combo (Generation 2) #2897-22 on sale for $350 at my local hardware store (Hardware Sales in Bellingham, WA). I needed some new bits and bit holders so I got the 40 piece Milwaukee kit #40-32-4006 on display nearby for $25 and notice there was...

I was at Ikea buying some cabinets (on sale at 50% off) for my garage, among other things, and found this simple old style acacia wood hand tool box for $10. Of course I had to buy it. While I was there, I also bought a bottle of mineral oil to condition the wood. After putting the box together...

Very impressive. I love reading this thread. Vieux is giving Jack Olsen a run for his money!

How much do the Steelcase tanker desks weigh? I'd like to get one but need to figure out the logistics of moving it.

I hadn't heard of the New Age Products workbenches. They seem like a good value and I like the variety of sizes and stainless vs wood tops. I like to get a couple of them and put some heavy duty locking casters on them. Thanks for posting up!

Creepy! Don't buy it!
