    Finished this ERON as a Christmas gift for my future son-in-law. Turned out to be a pretty nice vise.

    I saw that one on mp, $200 or less is exactly what I was thinking. The market seems to be declining in this area pretty fast.

    It says it on the bottom and front. I had no idea they counterfeited these!

    Not too many sales today in my area. Not sure why i bought the Griffey card for a couple bucks. Later taking a walk with my dad I found this m18 battery on the side of the road. I guess it counts as the free pile lol. No name or company markings. On the same day as one of my 18v rigid batteries...

    Sometimes you just have to play the hand you’re dealt. A lot of retail priced “antique” sales around this weekend. Took a chance on one with limited pictures. Lots of tools but nothing I needed. I did for some reason buy this piece of bullet resistant acrylic that came out of a local bank for...

    Interesting. In my military time they painted ammo boxes and cans orange when they were a "lite box" or being less than full. Do you know what they used to secure the flap on the latching mechanism? This one won't stay latched on its own.

    I got a little carried away watching football yesterday and didn’t post my meager finds. I got another lantern I didn’t need for $5. There was a whole bag of gold top mantles in the bottom of the box. I also picked up what I thought was a WWII ammo box. It’s been painted orange but it just...

    Only managed to get in a couple sales today. This was the only find. Wilton 76A corner vise. It hardly looks used. For $5 I couldn’t leave it behind.

    I finished up a very rough Oswego 24-1/2”. I don’t know how common these are but I have only seen a handful. Definitely a first I’ve seen with an A and B marked on the static and dynamic.

    Interesting, thanks! It says something about cutting tin up to a certain thickness. I guess they’re tin snips!

    I hit the final day of an estate sale for half off. They were practically giving stuff away. Not a lot left though. Some drill stops, a leather punch, unopened Wilson combat gun oil, unopened 54 cal projectiles, and some strange Japanese pruners with curved jaws. They seem heavy duty and the...

    Black & Decker Workmate

    Very interesting read, thank you! I checked out a couple of your YouTube videos too. Honestly I was looking for one of the type with the aluminum center section and steel base so it would be lighter than my 400. This one wasn’t familiar to me. After reading I thought it might be more for a...

    Black & Decker Workmate

    I picked up this workmate today for $5. It’s marked type E on the bottom of the wood. If I understand correctly these were made for a few months in 1974? Any other significance to these? It’s very nice and seems complete. It’s a little nicer than the pictures make it seem. Do these have any...

    I know there are guys that are into these. I read a little in the thread here about them. I’m not sure what the significance of this model is? Other than its MUCH lighter than my 400, and seems to be a lot smoother and better functioning.
