Yes, thank you, it is a leather punch... Man, you guys are good.

Picked this up at the local thrift shop for $5. Maker-mark of Kilborn & Bishop, New Haven, CT. Size-mark of 2". I have no idea what it is. I am guessing a punch to make 2" (inner diameter) circles in a piece of sheet metal? Which seems kindof speciality.... My google-fu has failed me...

A couple new pics: For Richard Cranium the right section has two pull outs and a large shelf. For Lx460 that's the box in a 2nd gen ford explorer (with ~250k miles:eyecrazy:) and the back glass was able to shut. Getting it out was a bit of a bear, used the jack as a 3rd hand and had to...

Pic of the hammer for Youngguns as well as the area behind the drawers, or the pit of lost parts. Mostly nuts and screws. A couple random napa wrenches, impact sockets and a 1/2 inch extension. Also found a key; which fit well enough to lock the top of the box; however I can't for the life of...

Picked this beast up at my local salvation army. 73" Snapon Rollcab KRL-763 Paid $750 :shocking: well $749.53 once I cleaned out all of the loose change lurking behind the drawers. Also found a sweet old Starret Tool Makers Hammer. Probably the best part it fit (just barely) in the back on...

Oh man, that machinists box may have me beat. And those CCCP tools from Amber Lamps; had to look that one up; sounds like a nice haul.

I was rummaging around my local Salvation Army the other day; mostly looking for old cast iron cook ware and furniture to restore. Every now and then a tool or two will sneak in, but it's rare. I've found the best deals are to be had by rummaging through the totes that are still in the process...

$28 at the local thrift shop; tap and die sizes 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4 cant argue with that at all

Picked up an old craftsman dowelling jig still in the box for $10 at my local thrift shop.

Here is a picture of the logo, or hyperlink if that is not working http://imgur.com/6t2FHNg Store is in Southern California (Poway) - shop is called Bargain Hunters. Inventory and prices are hit and miss; lately he has been getting some quality old tools in. He's got most stuff binned by...

Made out good today at the thrift shop Spent ~$35; got a bunch of vintage American made tool to add to the collection. American Pipe Tool No 1 Cutter $10 channellock 16in (460) $10 channellock 12in (440) $5 Johnson rasp $3 Johnson half round file $2 Johnson flat file $2 Maydox small ball peen...

I believe the black left by EvapoRust is carbon; not black oxide. EvapoRust will remove any oxide from iron (Black/Red) or any of the specialty finishes like bluing, Parkerizing, Zinc Phosphate, and Browning. If you really have Black Oxide on tools; that forms as a result of heavy rusting, I...

I think $60 ish; it's about 19" long by 9 wide"; found 2 others on-line one for $26, another with tools for $100; That $26 looks like it would run about $40 with shipping. If some one wants to jump on either, be my guest. I've been trying to curtail my spending as of late. If the local one I...

Any one have any info on these craftsman perforated tool trays? Local antique store was selling one (asking a bit much for me); something I haven't seen and wasn't having much luck on digging through the uncatalogued on rose's.

That reminds me, I used to ride about 16 miles (each way) by bicycle to work. I had a rack over the rear tire to hold a work clothes. About 2 miles into the ride home one of the bolts holding the rack to the frame popped off and the rack jammed into the side of the wheel. after some...

Hey, Thought I would kick of a new thread. What are your tools of desperation, or things you've managed to MacGyver and are to this day still proud of? I'll kick off with something I've been hanging on to for years; an 8mm brake caliper bolt for a Ford Explorer. I was doing some camping out...

Thank you for the info; I did not realize it was china made. Not such the great deal I thought it was; but has held up well so far. Although, I do more wood working related/Light DIY stuff than real fabrication work.

I'll throw in my $37.50 Columbian Vice found at the local salvation army.

Man you've just hit on one of my biggest issues with Home depot; their inventory is pretty deplorable. First it seems as if they have been making a huge push into Ryobi Territory over the past year or two; replacing much of the Dewalt, PC, Ridgid stuff with Ryobi. I've never been happy with...
