so a few weeks i picked this impact up as a floor model for the whopping price of 20.00. it was just the impact gun nothing else. well today i picked up the fuel hammer drill and finally got to try out the impact. with only 3 bars on the battery it easily broke loose the lug nuts on my jeep...

i had to work an overnight last and got off at about 6am this morning. I was tired but decided to hit the flea market and i'm glad i did. first thing i bought was the craftsman tool box. it's rough but for 5 bucks i figured it will be good practice at totally restoring a box. next was a proto...

i bought this a while ago and finally got it up on the wall. I cut and painted some peg board and decided to use the cabinet for my snap on distributer wrenches and some of my older snap on stuff. I think it turned out ok and i'm actually thinking about getting another one for my power tools as...

I picked up this work bench today, the wood top is marked republic which is who i'm assuming is the manufacturer. the previous owner mounted a kra-451a underneath the top. I can't seem to find much info on this box except for a blurb in the 1970 catalog for a kra-451 that sits on top of a roll...

I posted a couple of weeks ago i found another box that suits my needs better so this box has to go. I want to sell it locally. I'm on the north side of chicago. I'm asking 400.00 obo for all 3 pieces which i think is pretty fair. The middle chest is worth at least 200.00 alone. i'll take 300...

I drove an hour and a half to get this estate sale this morning and boy was I worth it. Kicker is I got lost and was almost a half late for the official start time. so who knows what i missed. the owner was a retired mechanic. here are some pics of what i bought. the real stand out is the kra...

just scored a floor model for a great price. it was the tool only so no batteries or charger. I've been interested in it for a while but I have a couple of questions before i put money down on the charger and battery. would this impact be strong enough to some suspension work on my grand...

i bought this wall cabinet for a 130.00. Its in good shape and does have the key. the guy i bought it from sold it to me without the tool board as he says he can get 75.00 a piece for just the board. is that a fair price? I checked ebay and didn't really see many in the completed auctions. they...

I've got a chance to buy this set and I was just wondering what you guys think is a good price for it. It doesn't have any rust. Its just dirty. I think it will clean up pretty nice. thanks

drove 45 minutes to a garage sale i saw on craigslist that was advertising snap on mac and matco tools. I was 15 minutes late and thought for sure the goodies would be gone. well i scored a snap on ferret set, a nice 3/8 torqometer in a really nice metal case. also got an early blue point pry...

I went to the all night flea market last night with the wife and had a good time but I thought there was slim pickings for tools. anyone else go and find anything decent? I picked up what appears to be an old craftsman wrench from the early 40's and this hefty plomb wrench. anyone care to guess...

I just bought these today as part of a shoe box full of snap on pieces. the two on the left are 3/8 drive and are from 1945 and 1946. the 1/2 drive on the right i believe is dated 1936. these things are pretty cool. just wondering how rare are these? also got some nice blue point wrenches in the...

we have the garage sale thread so I figured why not start a thread for flea market finds. i personally think flea markets are a totally different beast than garage sales and much prefer them. anyway, here is my first submission. I picked these up yesterday. 1. snap on no. 71n 1/2 ratchet in...

Its been a while since i've been to the flea market so I'm glad i went today. I think i did decent but not great. the first group I paid 60.00 for a pair of snap on diagonal pliers/cutters, mac 10 inch pliers, blue handle snap on phillips screw driver, snap on black handle pick, and not...

I picked this hammer up today at the flea market. for 5 bucks I figured why not but i do have some questions about it. Its a plumb head on what appears to be a craftsman handle. is this all original or is the handle a replacement? also, i know that logo is from the 50s so is this an old hammer...

I picked this box set a few days ago. It had a ton of over spray on it and I was able to clean it up. Thanks for the recommendations in my other thread, i used the rubbing compound and it worked pretty well. I've collected vintage/antique racing bicycles and some guys were also in the hobby...

i picked this up today. i paid 200.00 for it. I had to drive over an hour to get it but the fact that it had the middle box sealed the deal for me. The bottom edge on the bottom box has some surface rust. It also has some paint over spray. The good thing is that it's straight. no dings, the...

my wife finally figured out how much i've been spending on my new toys after seeing the garage finally organized. I should have left it messy! anyway so I'm getting rid of some stuff. prices are OBO and do not include shipping. snap on nos screwdriver set: sgdx80. 5 slotted, 3 phillips...

so another week and of course more tool purchases. This site really is a bad influence. I used to collect golf clubs and just sold most of them back in january to clear out space in my garage and now I'm filling it up with tools! thursday i picked up this snap on top box. it's actually in...

I got all of this for about 25.00. I got a snap on 3/8 speed handle and 2 distributor wrenches for 10.00. I got a really nice v series ratchet 1/2, a nos craftsman fine tooth 1/4 ratchet, and about 7 snap on sockets for 10.00. I got the sk box for 3 and a dollar each for the plumb hammers. a 13...
