This is the second batch from last weekend. The big score was this Kennedy tool box. It needs a couple of locks and some drawer handles. Came across some interesting tools too. As always some Craftsman were found and another pair of Vise Grips. First time I had run across Proamerica...

First batch from last weekend. Came across some stuff from Dunlap, Barcalo, Utica , Kraeuter, Easco, Proto, SK, Thorsen, Vise Grips, Mac, Wright, Bonney, Waldes Truarc, Craftsman, and a brandless 1/2" ratchet. Found these interesting. After some research it seems that Dunlap was a Sears...

Just got mine and they are also US made. :bounce: Willy

Thanks, I was wondering what the background was on that. Willy

Sorry, the Plombs are definitely keepers. ;) Willy

Agreed. :thumbup: Willy

Yes, Bonaloy was Bonney. Those are front and back pics. One side says Bonney and the other Bonaloy. Alloy Artifacts has more about Bonaloy here. Willy

Went back on Sunday when the prices were more reasonable. Most of the items I passed on Friday were still there...so I obviously wasn't the only one who didn't agree with the prices. I came away with most of the stuff I passed on from Friday. There was a lot of no name China and Taiwan tools...

The estate sales keep calling me. What am I to do, stop buying tools? That would be crazy. :eyecrazy: Some finds from this past weekend. I went to this sale twice. It wasn't far from home so I stopped by on Friday. The prices were pretty high so I just picked out the stuff I thought was...

Thanks, Google answered my question too. I found a list here and an interactive list here. Willy

Is there a list of Sears that are closing or an easy way to find out? Thanks, Willy

Picked up my NS67 today. I almost passed on this but am glad I didn't. This is a nice domestic ratchet for $36.99. Willy

Not sure, it has no size markings. I'll have to try it on some 1/4" hex stuff and see. Willy

The next box I took home had some incredible bargains. All for $5. :D The Craftsman selection. An entire 3/8" set of sockets. I found this one interesting. A Japanese Craftsman wrench. :headscrat Almost a full set of 1/4" sockets. One of the screw drivers has a broken tip. Before I...

Stopped by a few more estate sales yesterday. A couple of them had some nice finds. The collection I brought home for $7. I think I got lucky with this set of Lectrolite wrenches. Most of the tools had been picked over. I found these obscured behind a hanging light. Score for me...

Thanks for the information! I took a closer look and it does appear to be made this way. Glad I didn't take it back! Willy

Good to know. I've come across a few of these clamps in the past. They usually end up in the scrap bin. I found out that I had another of these KD pliers that I picked up last year. Willy

Forgot to take the price tag off that one. I'm afraid I'm more of a tool "hoarder" than reseller. :D Wow! :eek: Thanks for the dates. $35. This is actually quite a bit more than what I've found with most of the garage sale stuff I've picked up, but I was still pretty happy with the...

I'm not sure my wife realized what she was starting when she first took me to garage sales this summer. Of course the majority are filled with other people's junk and baby clothes, but every once in a while you come across some nice old tools that makes all the hunting worthwhile. I didn't...

Northern Tool has the GearWrench XL X-Beams for $39 a set. Metric Standard Willy
