Hit a yard sale yesterday as the woman was putting stuff away. I asked how much for the Skil router table with 1 HP Cman router attached and she said $1. I already have one but too good to pass up. The large snow shovel was also a $1.

$35 for all at a church indoor yard sale and a second hand store. I got a 24" Helios caliper (Germany). I may sell it, I don't envision ever using it but the quality of it made me believe it was worth more than I paid. NAPA (Taiwan) metric 1/2" drive 12 pt sockets 10-24mm. Almong the other...
Second hand store find for $60 with the stand. 1/2 HP 6" Craftsman block grinder. Stand is a heavy truck rim attached to a steel pipe with flat steel welded on top. It runs smooth, I just need to find a tool rest.
Finally got a bench grinder. It's an older Sears Craftsman 1/2 HP 6" diameter. It runs really smooth. I just need a tool rest, one is missing. I got it with the ridiculously heavy stand for $60 from a second hand store.
Slim pickings for yard sales in the NE. I hit a couple of second hand stores that I have hit before. I paid $40 for the CMAN vise (USA) with a 5"+ wide jaw. It works well, I am happy with it. I paid $15 for the consumables and small amount of tools (USA and Taiwan). An 8" Ridgid adjustable is...
I went to the Sears at 02895 and they had a bunch of Gearwrench and Cman ratcheting wrench sets in the clearance section. Most were China, these were Taiwan. I picked up the 8 piece metric set for $34.93. They are Gearwrench set #44003.
