Here's another find at a yard sale: Luxor USA filmstrip file drawers with friction slides. $5 with everything inside.

Interesting find today at an estate sale, all for a whopping $3. I didn't find much at first, but then while doing a third look through I came across this: (4) SK NOS never opened items; (1) Dunlap 1/4 set; Craftsman underline C sockets and T; file safety handle; various USA Utica and Craftsman...

Funny, the other day I ended up using the ratchets from my USA Craftsman travel set I purchased a few years back (which I never use). Both the 3/8, and 1/4 we're chunky, and clunky. Worse than I remember them being. So, I went to lube them up today, and lord and behold, I had a hell of a time...

How heavy is that aluminum? Scrapyards are paying around 50 cents a pound.

Thanks guys! I think I'll hold off on these. I may end up going with the Thor eventually, but it's been on the shelf for a month or so, so I'm guessing it's no hurry on my end. I'm just looking for a grinder for a little wire-wheeling, and buffing, not so much grinding. And you're right on cue...

Some advice? Local Habit For Humanity store has two old grinders, one I'm guessing from the 60's, the other probably 40/50's, or so. I imagine you guys know better. Anyways, are either of these any good? How about price-wise? $50 for the Walker-Turner, and what would be $40 for the Thor...

I enjoy my SK's, but buddah is a Bonney A707. Simply amazing.

Come to find out, it's not a drawer. It's just handles for moving, according to another posting he has for another one.

I really like this one. http://worcester.craigslist.org/tls/4544664321.html

Another one, out of my willing league. http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/tls/4525359719.html

Hmmm ... those are some quite large pics.

I know there's a thread for great deals on items from Craigslist, but I'm not sure if there's anything of this nature. I constantly come across storage garage pieces, such as file cabinets, metal cabinets, or whatever, that I just couldn't use, or may not be willing to make the trip to, or pay...

Here's a Craftsman V metric set #4450. Missing one wrench, but in it's place was a Toyota Japanese 14/17mm.

Here are a few things: (1) Xcelite ps-88 screwdriver set; (1) Xcelite ps-121-mm metric nut driver set; (1) Xcelite ps-120 nut driver set; (1) Xcelite 25 flathead/Philips set; (1) SK cutters; and (1) Blackhawk 3/8 torque wrench. Anyone know if the Xcelite are all USA? Only one of the three sets...

Rather funny. There's a guy at a flea market near me who sells all HF items, including all the freebies they give away via coupons. Example, LED mini flashlight, at times a freebie at HF, but normally sells for $3.50. This guy sells them for $6 a pop. It's hilarious. Gotta watch out wherever you go.

Trade the car in for a bicycle.

Here's a haul from a couple of weeks ago, part of my quite long driver phase: (1) Wiss Inlaid #82 12" scissors; (1 of each) SK 81002; Xcelite xst-1010; Torx t15; Mac p202sa; Matco sdm r128. This is my first burgandy Matco driver. I really like the feel of the handles, but no where does it state...

Yesterday's haul, all USA: (1) SK diamond complete set, with my favorite SK logo; (1) small Vise-Grip; (1) Wiss Inlaid 22w 12" upholstery shears, which are quite beefy, and apparently sell for $40 new still to this day; (1) SO sgd480a long flat from 1993; (1) Irwin or Klein flat (not sure); and...

Hmmm...that SK Wayne set is worth what you paid for the lot.

I've always loved the shape of those torpedo-style handles. And the red pin striping, well that's just simply awesome.
