First Bootsale of the year for me in the UK 🎉 So what did I get in the grimy £1 cutlery tray? For £6 ($7.94) this little bundle of bits, all post tetanus jab and scrub up, though they picture makes them look shinier than they were. Setco hammer head with 1971 Broadarrow Ministry of Defence...

Vaco is unusual in the UK, new old stock Vaco even more so! Deliveried to my door from UK ebay for well under 20 bucks (£14). Inner and outer snap ring (circlip to us over here) pliers.

Whilst this thread is momentarily going sideways, I was in Marrakesh recently. No picks (explaining to a Moroccan customs official why my suitcase is full of rusty old tools isn't on my bucket list!) but heres some left behinds and some live action grinding from the main souk in El Jem. I...

Nothing to do with me, and no description, but while wandering a Marrakesh souk very recently I was mighty impressed not with the vice, but the Afica’s heaviest duty vice stand! That aint falling over in a hurry 😁 The repurposed concrete filled Propane bottle anvils look good too!

@timoboy way to go - you **** 👍 Makes @Outlawmws seven dollar pick up look overpriced 😆

SEVEN DOLLARS 😳 @Outlawmws you ****!

I’ve gotta jump on the @d42jeep **** TRAIN too, swapping forums now for a gawp!

Cheers @LesserSon and @four.cycle for the info, not a common find over the alantic, so appreciate the research 👍 They have gone in my useful draw ready for my daughters to yard sale in 2056 😂

Now I hope I’m not diluting thread too much, but I thought you might all like to hear how a 34 year old Britool ratchet has shown a brand new Stahlwille who‘s boss! Now I was issued (actually they took it out my pay in 52 weekly instalments!) this little 1/4 drive ratchet in 1992 by British...

Went with a mate to a house clearance centre for a mooch - he brought us both a full English breakfast (don’t google that if your calorie conscious) and I provided the four wheels and fuel. Undoubtedly bargains to be had in every dept…. except obviously bar the tools 😁 Still it was a grand day...

Terrible picture, irrelevant location, awful story…. But I saw my first Snap-on truck in ages, the last one I sped in the wild was in at my old job and I left that in 2015! Anyway, north of London England on the M25 ring road. As you can make out *squints* ours are U-haul sized 3.5 tonne baby...

Flipside, someone in CAT is making sure their only putting there name on aircraft quality brands.

A bit of a surprise!

@ctuai ***** for the haul and the flip leave you $5 for a jar of Nescafe and $680 for more tools 😇

Another recent find, and £5 the set ($6.70) these double open end USAG metric spanner set, well almost - I’m of course missing the 13mm! A quick google shows the 252N is unobtainium over here in the UK, but will keep an eye open regardless! Quite weighty anyone know the facom equivalent if there...

Very much the right thing to do 👍 However @INSP380 beats you hands down with the free Columbia vice and 3/4 drive sockets 😳 A hearty **** for sure there!!!

A packing up seller at the car boot sale, and a little but of bartering netted me this little lot for £13 ($17.30) I think I came out ahead at less than 50p (67cents) a spanner 😉 A little scrub up and I’m well chuffed, they even threw in the tote! The Britool selection: The Stahlwille USAG...

My first Australian tool fell into my hands today for a paltry £1 ($1 US 1.34 AUS $2.05) and after a good scrub up, here it is - Its even a useful size for once 😆 Well made and weighty be a nice old tool to use day in day out.

Todays find at the market, new but dusty, £2 ($2.70) each so I had all three! I couldn't buy one for that price! I can never figure it out when easily searchable price current tools are sold cheapily, but I’m not arguing 😉 (The Bahco is a better grip btw, but far too small for an average hand...

A ‘Gray - Bonney’ 12” adjustable ’Dreadnought’ wrench which somehow ended up in London 60+ years later. It has a lovely heft and it slides like a dream, it’s really a quality bit of kit for something at least 60 years old. Its ****** lovely and going nowhere!
