Yes,!!! I would keep it all but I realize that the space is more important and I have my own hoard of tools ,this advice is very insightful .

There are a couple vises a parker and another one with no name that he made a base to attach to a lally column ,it's pretty cool.

Most machinist tools are in good shape,most of that are in two machinists chests,he was a tool and die maker at a company that stamped out body panels for the big car companies,he also worked in their train division as well.

Good advise,thank you

I completely agree,I'm not totally dumb to tool value or how people profit,I think Craigslist has diminished to what you said.

Good advice thank you.

I'm not attached but his offer was so low,I literally could sell a tool or two on Craigslist and do better than what he offered. I did put up some shelves thinking I might go through them slowly and organize but it quickly filled up three shelving units 36" wide 18" deep. There's hardware also...

So last year my Dad started passing his tools and tool boxes to me,He was a machinist for 40 years ,shadetree mechanic /home woodworker.I have tried to keep it organized in order to decide what to do with everything but it has become a little overwhelming.I have my own tools already and although...

I wouldn't evn bother with a tool truck if I didn't work where one stopped ,Buy used off ebay and save a boatload.

That's awesome it made it back to you ,I wish a few of my childhood treasures(bikes ,minibikes ) were around to reclaim, good for you.

There's a town in Burlington county NJ named after Roebling,there is a museum there with lots of company history that's open to the public

I disagree depending on intended use,mine gets used for pet hair around the refrigerator and kitchen cabinets and down my basement stairs inbetween real cleaning and it works great for that.

They were popular among engine assemblers(me) in the 90's .Left the business in 2002 so not sure now but mine was very useful in that setting

It that this February?

Sad,I'll leave it at that
