Been off the thread for quite a bit and just scanned 5 or 6 pages but ***** to Beemer, Freudian Floyd, and Fred Knox! Haven't been picking much lately, fell off my bike and jacked up my shoulder a couple weeks ago. I'm behind on posting stuff though cause life's also been crazy busy. Here are...

Couple small hauls from the weekend $5 for the Gerber and Maglite combo plus a roofer’s hatchet that is Kelly assuming the handle is original…unfortunately the maglite tailcap was seized and I destroyed it trying to get it off. So I’m in the hunt for a functioning maglite to replace it with...

12-933 for the long one and 12-932 on the short

@jeffmoss26 you **** for the $5 BE set! Hard to find those boxes... Had an expensive day today, took the morning off as there was a pro run sale right by the house with a machine shop in the basement. Photos looked super clean and did not disappoint. I got there a few minutes after they...

Got a few weeks of finds to report, been selling more than picking but I managed to make a big dent in my death pile so I'm backing to buying **** I don't need :rocker: This sale had about 100 harbor freight socket and wrench sets but there was also some Craftsman in there. Can't believe the...

Lucked into a nice 1960 Snap-on catalog today. I always look for catalogs and never find them, can't believe someone didn't pick this up before I got to it as the sale had been going on for a few weekends apparently...

@mikeinri *****! Took the day off today and ran around a bit Pretty scarce pickings for most part but the last sale made up for it in entertainment value plus an old catalog which I never find! $10 on the Mac storage box at a garage sale, this will be great for filling with 50 pounds of...

Beemer *****! Those wobble sockets go for ridiculous amouts:oops: I haven’t been picking much lately as I’ve been attempting to tame my increasingly ridiculous death pile by selling at the flea market. I’ve sold through most of my Snap-on so I decided to bid on a few auction lots. Didn’t come...

EDIT: ***** to mrbill for the snap on box, ctuai for the uke:oops:and 3baygarage for the haul! Sales have been plentiful around here but cheap tools have not! Resorted to picking up some Mac sockets off CL and paid out the nose at a little flea but picked up some cool stuff. The Mac 1/2...

Unfortunately the punch is a General…I can’t leave these behind when I see them though and I have a few Starretts in the collection. I thought it was a Starrett at first too!

Gout is the worst! I’ve had it a few times and the flares lasted months. Worst pain ever. You might want to look into allipurinol, you have to take it daily but I haven’t even had a “touch of gout” since I went on it…

Had the day off and despite my better judgement decided to go to a pro run sale that was heavily advertised and stuffed to the gills with vintage collectibles...toys, jewelry, you name it. Saw a big tool box in one pic and decided I'd try and run by after the initial frenzy had died down. It...

Cleaned up this Husky set, the earliest (New Britain era) catalog on ITCL is ‘57 and I’m guessing this 5109 set is probably in that neighborhood. For some reason this one speaks to me, might have to keep it! EDIT: There's a '38 catalog that is post Husky acquisition by NBM in '33 so I'm...

Stumbled across a couple leathermans for 2 bucks each and almost left this minty Swiss Army Knife for another $2 as it was in a generic corduroy sheath. Glad I stopped to pull it out!

I was looking to see if I had any other Bog sockets and checked this old Bog set… Two Chrome X Quality sockets that look nothing like any of my other Bog sockets Maybe this is just people buying from Western Auto and replacing lost pieces? I dunno 🤷 EDIT: Nevermind, found some Bog sockets...

Thanks for the info! I have other Bog sockets and they mostly have a pretty distinctive wide band of knurling from what I can remember. I’ll have to dig around in my pile and see if I have any Bog sockets that look anything close to these ones. Given that Bog and Duro/indestro both were...

Found this Chrome X Quality set the other day. Ratchet (and I assume breaker/ext) is Bog but wondering if anyone knows if sockets are Duro/Indestro? I got lucky as this set was missing the 1/2” but I happened to have one laying around.

Thanks! The bog ratchet was confusing the heck out of me until I did a little digging. I'm wondering if the sockets are Bog as well? They don't look Bog at all to me. Or did they combine the Bog ratchet with Duro/Indestro sockets? Hmm:dunno:

Found a couple good sales lately...more junk coming in the door, I gotta work on moving some the other direction! $8 backyard sale, shoulda probably just kept the BE 1/2 set and the Nicholson swiss files but I dragged a bunch of other stuff home too of course. The Hi-Test box was a...

Got out to some sales and the flea market yesterday. Things were kinda sparse due to the weather but I found a few things I liked. $20 worth of stuff from the flea. Partial crowntop 1/4” set, Craftsman bit ratchet, SK driver (made in France which I thought was unusual…), several metric hex...
