Nice screwdrivers but keep an eye on Sears for ones like that as well. Usually if they are on sale they usually end up close to $1 a piece brand new and they are still USA made. I'd say a fair price at the pawn store. Any other tools of interest when you were there? Wrenches, Ratchets...

You are going to need a rather big garage when you move out. You've quadrupled your tools just during this thread! lol Great start! Good times!

Major suckage has been awarded to you. Nice old CMan boxes as well. That first box defnitely looks like MAC. I just scored and Old MAC roller this weekend. Spent some hours cleaning it up and I'm really glad I have it now. I'm loving the older boxes the more I use them.

That time it worked thanks for that link. Now what I need to find is a spring loaded slide lock that is flat stock. At least I know what I'm looking for now! Thanks! :thumbup:

Thanks for the response. Link just went to a web page but didn't have anything related to this on it. The flat stock part wont be too bad. I just have to figure out what the spring mechanism needs to be.

Any help on what I would need to fabricate would be great. Has anyone on here made these before. I have a general idea of how the part functions but don't know really know where to get started. :dunno: Thanks, Brian

I'm looking for the pieces that would hold the front plate on when the top lid is shut. Here are two pictures the close up show the open slot that is missing the piece that would be forced down to grab the front plate when the top is closed and hold it in place. Is this a common part from Snap...

I'm definitely saving up for a flank drive set of metrics from snap on. I was able to pick up about a ten year old set of Matco metric wrenches from 10-19mm for $75 off CL. Wasn't a steel per say but a nice set at a price I could afford. Definitely had to scour CL to find them but my morning...

Do you have any idea what year it was made in? Very hard to find infor,action on it.

Lilredex very cool sleeves. I may end up doing that some day myself! Thanks for posting! I will post pictures of the rollers as soon as I get a chance. I can't fin any date stamp and don't know if MAC even has a date stamp on their boxes. I'm surprised no one has chimed in that has one like...

Yes there is a middle box with it. It has a great top on it that I think I'm going to use to work off of. I occasionally do some carburetor work on bikes and I think this will be perfect. Yes I'm the one that go the 537 top and bottom at a really good price. i also just picked up a side...

Hey lilredex if you don't mind posting some of your pictures of what you were describing for magazine and credit cards that would be great. Or just PM me some pictures. I'm always looking to learn something new. With knowledge comes power! :beer::pimpflash

I will definitely hold onto them. Thanks for the add'l info on them. May have to make some projects now just to use them. :thumbup:

Thanks! Anyone have any info on age and model of the MAC box. Just interested in knowing what I have. Great conversation piece when someone is in garage. Also makes me look like I have tool knowledge! :rocker:

Very cool. I guess you never know what you are going to find. I have occasionally needed to make a gasket hole and used to just use a punch and keep manipulating it to the right size. These may come in handy. :beer:

Thanks this may be something I can hold onto. Never know if I will need them.

Well I've bought quite a bit of stuff over the years from Craigslist with good success and most recently found a local pawn shop as well. After reading all of the good estate and yard sales finds I figured it was time to go to one myself. The one I went too this morning was advertised as an...

I don't blame you! If you don't find the Evaporust fast and get back out to your car it may be Evapocar! lol Also I see people can't find it in paint section. Check out the plumbing sections as well! That's where the whole stash was for me. :rocker:

I picked up 15 at $1.22 per quart in Avondale, PA. Found them all in plumbing. Nobody knew where they were. Had to show them on the Lowes App for IPhone that they were in the store somewhere! :thumbup::bowdown:
