I've got a big old All Steel Equipment desk in my basement that I got for free from work a while ago. They're great desks--they're very easy to disassemble and move, and are very sturdy and durable. Packed it up from work, moved it, and brought it up and down a total of two flights of stairs all...

Might be able to find a square 7/16 in an early socket set from back when they made square nuts. I've got an old set of square sockets hanging around someplace.

Nice haul there.

Some of the SAE wrenches I use on my weekend projects are over 100 years old now.

The orange hand cleaner they sell at Harbor Frieght is made in the USA.

I've used one of these to hold my lunch for years:

I got an old 3 1/2" Wilton vise for free a few weeks ago.

Nice finds!

I don't see any pictures.

You could get a nice 10" table saw off of Craigslist for much cheaper. The place is loaded with 'em. You could get a nice one with a cast-iron table, miter gauge, and extensions for much less than $500.

The U. S. was importing many European cars back in the 1950's, so I wouldn't be surprised if they came out then.

Maybe you could weigh down the edges of tarps with them.

I just have at it with the wire wheel if I ever clean my tools, since most of the things I clean off of them are either paint or rust.

I've got an adapter that I made so I can use 1/4" drive sockets on my 7/16" drive ratchet.

I'm sure both types will work fine, but I'd personally prefer 6-point for deep sockets.

If you were in New York, you could've gotten this enormous 175-pound monster vise: http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/tls/3413724668.html

Well, as I've always said, they don't make old tools in China. That'll probably be the best bet for low-priced USA-made stuff.

I've got a ton of those old S-shaped open ends in my toolbox. Think they were made in the 1910's and 1920's, since my uncle's grandfather had them originally.

Well, as a capitalist, I speak with my wallet and put my money where my mouth's at. If I want cheap Chinese tools, I'll go to Harbor Freight and pay cheap Chinese prices for them. Not Sears prices.

Wow. That's a nice set of tools even by today's standards! You gonna bring 'em back into service?
