Yep, I just got back from Sears maybe a half hour ago, went in to buy some socket rails. I was looking around and couldn't believe how much stuff is now foreign and bearing a name that America built. It worries me to death that in a matter of time, I will no longer be able to purchase USA...

NADA? Like the National Automotive Dealers Association? I don't get it. Edit: They have this convention once a year, maybe snap-on used it to get some leverage for new customers?

It's a lot easier for me just to sell the entire box right now. I'm not splitting anything up unless I get no offers on the entire box.

Yep, 2 of em. But i'm trying to sell this whole box as a lot first. I'll be sure to let you guys know if I split them up.

I've just gotten done going thru my sockets and picked out what I needed. I still need to add some sockets to the sets I kept to complete them, these are all duplicates I had laying around. Hate to see em go, but I have no room for all these. I'm asking $1.00 a piece flat rate for each, some...

Maybe a stupid question, but why not mention it to someone higher up to recycle it, or even sell it to a person and make some money back to put toward the use of something else? Maybe it's been mentioned before, idk, but I sure would give it a shot.

Anyway, where are you located OP, if you're close to me, i'd definitely be willing to lend my equipment and knowledge to you.

Yes, as a welder I can agree with you. It's an art very few people now days know how to do. Not by choice maybe, but it's just not like it used to be. But I hate to break it to you buddy, a robot can do it better, more consistently, and probably cheaper in the long run. So now days, anyone...

It's a 1 7/16 size, but it's skinny, like it's supposed to fit in a tight spot.

Ok, to the top for new pics! This isn't even close to everything I drug outta there on saturday. I even found snap-on combo wrenches for $2.00 a piece. But anyway, I was really only interested in the older stuff. I got nothing in my box older than maybe 2006. So I been on the lookout for...

Lol, I just snapped a couple to give ya a rough idea of what's in this box. They'll be up in a few once I finish uploading them.

Gotcha, there was an engraving on it on the backside of the handle, says 8-68, guessing it was issued to someone in 1968? I looked around, seems like it could be period correct.

No pics yet, got dark already, and the Mrs. will have a fit if I drag it all inside and take up all the space on the coffee table again. Can get some pics tomorrow for sure though. I just found an old craftsman -v- 1/4 breaker bar in the bottom today too, so still stuff I haven't even seen...

I stopped in a pawn shop over the weekend, spotted an armstrong wrench that seemed interesting. I'm pretty sure it's for some kind of pump or something, maybe a fan bolt or something but for $1.00 I couldn't pass it up. Anyway, maybe someone knows what it's for. I also picked up a whole box...

My vote goes 70% metric. I do break out the sae stuff every now and then though. With the new Corvette sitting in my driveway, I may be using them more often now. I got a feeling it's probably mixed up a bit though on this car.

Any craftsman ratchet not marked -v- or =v=. Plastic selectors, plastic quick release buttons, and the infamous selector switcharoo when you aren't paying attention. Nothing like trying to ratchet a craftsman ratchet and slamming your hand into an engine block because the direction lever...

Yep, can't beat that. Sounds like you got a good tool guy in you're area. Way to keep him in business, and delivered on a Saturday! Looks good bud, enjoy it.

Not to get off topic, but is that a Macbook Pro? Anyways, good deal, nice to know that I won't be dreading having to contact them if I need to.

I honestly don't know. I think there was a lot more to it than the old dealer going out of business. But I don't know for sure, just a hunch.

This is where we buy all of ours for the shop. They are really on top of the game in my opinion, and even know about things before they really start to become issues. http://www.timesert.com/index.html
