    Found an orange Niehoff recently as well, hit it with Simple Green and then again with iron remover detailing spray. Should clean up pretty well. Iron remover for wheels has been my recent addition to cleaning up signs, cans and toolboxes that have heavy staining. @Patrickm82 nice find!

    I'm sorry... what? Did I miss something about 4" being extremely valuable? Intentional innuendo aside, tell me more.

    Paid $40 for everything and threw this January 1922 Motor magazine on top. It’s missing the cover and its first few pages. Too bad it’s missing its cover… look it up. There were some really awesome advertisements in it too. Not sure what to do with it because I don’t really collect ephemera...

    I was able to go through my weekend pick to clean up the tools. I won’t bore you with all the knockoffs and try to give the highlights. There were 3 funnels that cleaned up perfect to replace some of my old ones. Two drill indexes, 20 screwdrivers, 10 pliers, and a bunch of Hex drive sockets...

    Haven’t been able to get out for much picking this year, hoping to turn that around. My brother lined up a pick with a guy who had a storage unit with some of his parents’ stuff in it. A lot of knock off sockets and wrenches but I noticed a Penens 1/4 drive socket and ratchet so I took a...

    Brought these home today. The back of the simoniz can is kinda roached on the back but it still presents pretty well.

    @ctuai ***** for the Starett stuff. I've found a few of those pencils as well, kinda cool. Yeah too much for the full Archer cans but people can put whatever on stuff they want.

    Brought these home, been on the lookout for the John Deere for quite awhile. Sold some Irwin auger bits at auction and this can was up for bid on the next auction. I told myself that I’d bid up to the value of the auger bits. Ended up getting a heck of a deal. The little tip cleaner is a can...

    Just another day at the 'office' - prepping my gear for my next projects 1800 miles away.

    EXACTLY!!! Isn't that always the fear? A few months back I put a few of those "keep around" tools into an out-of-reach toolbox/storage, clearly labeled so that I could get to them if necessary, they don't get to be in my frequently used toolbox anymore. Then a few other tools got shuffled...

    Thanks Bree, super cool to see what tools you use one a regular basis. My BIL is an airline mechanic and got sent to recover an aircraft that couldn't be "flown home". He showed me a similar set up of all the gear he brought along to do his job. He figured 1/4 of the weight was just in the...

    Cleaned up some grease cans. They were all pretty bad and I didn’t want to do any more for fear of ruining the lettering.

    Am I able to apologize for all of the upper midwest? Our weather is not hospitable to outside work, you're not getting our normal Midwest Nice. Saw -20 on the dash of my vehicle this morning. Hope you and everyone else that has to be out, can be safe.

    Picked up this Ryobi level that was going to get thrown out because it didn’t work. Opened it up to find corroded batteries for the vacuum motor and the laser light. A little clean up with DeoxIt and a brass brush, it’s good as new. I used this as a reminder to pull the batteries out of my...

    Man, some day I’ll find a Wilton, but until then it’s going to be more oilers. Picked up this Maytag stuff, even the little tin cup is stamped Maytag on the bottom. The knight’s helmet is a wine/liquor pour.
