it's garage sale season!!

Outlawmws · May 19, 2012

Yard sailing continued:

This one was not advertised as an estate sale but it was;

The Hatchet is a Monkey Wards, "Wards Master Quality" the long handled BP is Plumb, the rest are no name.

Ford wrench is taking an E bath so missed the pic, Multi Wrench, 10" Crescent, 10" rigid Pipe, Barcalo DBE Wrench, 1 Proto 2 SK sockets, Slip Joints, Industro Brake tool;

Gear driven screw jack, a bit different than the earlier one:

24" Ridgid pipe wrench this one is now my largest! (18 was the biggest before)

5" of lite rail, small screwdriver, cool old Morse wooden drill stand, Old Fly reel, Old sprinkler head, and Malco Red snips:

Old Makita angle drill, the "D" handle is broke off and the screw in handles are missing, but it has 2 speeds, (mechanical change I think) and the key is there, but it needs brushes IMO...

Hand grinder, I passed on two others, (and a Craftsman tombstone grinder) one was stripped in the ears, and the others were too much money.

Thanks Metaldad! Someday I will put this to use, as I have some older tools than need to be re-done for Babbitt... :beer:

i've been thinking the same.

jeffmoss26 · May 19, 2012

My dad thinks I have a lot of tools! I
better show him this thread!!

Outlawmws · May 19, 2012

and the last stop, another estate sale:

Found these here and there in the garage, except the solder, that was the only item from the house. "Nyoil"? Companion metal sanding block, 12' Aristo tape (Aristo once manufactured high precision artwork cutting (for the semiconductor industry) tables with early "digital" readouts, using Nixe tubes to display the numbers. I was one one of a very few people that knew how to set them up to be level and accurate...), Companion needle nose, Knipex 94-16 pliers, 9 of 14 in a slow twist drill set, 11/16 drill 1/2 shank, 1 lb SN60 solder, and a small box of horseshoe nails, (not shown) - gallon of Mineral Spirits , 4 acid 2 wire brushes:

2 bar clamps, I'm up to three... the one with the odd handle uses the handle to inch the bar closed, then you use the screw to finish...

4 Fine Woodworking books, and another of that caliber.

An aluminum frame B&D workmate. If I ever get a second one of these I'll sell off my two 200's. this one is pristine... It was between the garage and the house (semi attached garage), and I saw it, asked if it was for sale "yes" How much? "$5" DONE!) then saw the pipe clamps below near the front door...

The PO made new vise jaws, and did an excellent job. he also doubled up on the jaw faces, which may have been standard on the earlier original WM's :dunno:

but is not on the current styles...

2 pipe clamps, I'm officially past what I can store in my "Pipe clamp rack"
http://www.garagejournal.com/forum. Out the door for everything? $12
:rocker:

I was only able to hit 2 sales today with only one bearing any fruit but it was well worth the wait in my opinion.

It had a ton of Ham radio stuff so my brother wanted to do some shopping for him but i had tools on my brain so he got pushed to the back burner.

Everything was stuck out in the backyard on top of tables and generally a huge mess. A bit of digging turned up a complete Thorsen 1/4" drive set and a really heavy mystery box full of shiny chrome that i only glanced in before i threw it in my huge bag.

What you see are the contents of the small box. Mostly Craftsman and Proto with one powerkraft extension. A Plugmaster flex head ratchet. 8" Stilson pipe wrench. assorted files and punches. The socket in the upper left corner is a tad large and is a 36mm. I don't think it was ever used. The knife was just something sitting on a pile of junk and fits on a K98 German Mauser.

Mostly keep them for when I need "the right tool", some go to my son.

Lately I've been buying more than I usually do and will post some of them in the classifieds. the ones I keep get added to the inventory list, if I've done that section of my tools, and if not just get put in the appropriate box for that type of tool until I need it. if it needs any attention (de-rusting, cleanup, painted, fixed...) I do that first.

Some are simply upgrades to tools I have, and the old versions either go to my son, or migrate to a secondary box, say for travel. Some will get sold. I'm sort of halfheartedly replacing my Craftsman tools with Proto or Snapon as they appear, but except for sockets, am doing that in sets.

Some I just collect. That is mostly the older stuff, but I have a goal to put together my 54/57 Craftsman tool box stack with only vintage automotive tools, mostly Plomb.

There is a reason I have so many tool boxes...

jeffmoss26 · May 19, 2012

Did you get my PM?

Yep, just replied.

Outlawmws · May 19, 2012

Well too many interruptions today, I have a last stop I forgot about: :dunno:

A Blue Point thread file, 3 square, 1 round, 1 1/2 round small files, Sockets: SO Hex X2, Proto hex, and swivel, Williams Hex and 1/4 deep soc., Fuller nippers, No name needle nose and wire formers...

Outlawmws · May 19, 2012

Nice scores Bigcaddy; is the K98 missing the barrel ring?

Not from what i can tell. I've done some looking and there were a number of different styles made, all with slightly different detail. Aside from the draw marks on the blade, its near perfect. I still cant believe people were just running by and never picked it up.

dieselmike · May 19, 2012

the ratchet is proto Canada, the breaker is challenger Canada and the green handled Robertson says Canada. 14$ little sewing machine for mom and a NOS made in Canada shovel for 8$

Gregster · May 19, 2012

picked up an IR 1/2 impact with long shaft, 3/8 Koken 8" breaker bar with 1/2 socket and Cman 3/8 ratchet for 20$.

Flatintoone · May 20, 2012

Of the numerous garage sales I hit today, I only bought stuff at one. Also hit two estate sales and picked up some tools at one of those. I think I did all right:

Old Craftsman and Indestro speeders (though neither is in great shape), a Craftsman Crown torque wrench, small wrenches by SK and Craftsman, large Bonney wrench, pliers by the usual suspects (Cee Tee, Klein, Dunlap, Pexto, Channellock, etc) and some unexpected (Indestro, Proto, Wizard, Berylco-the latter non-sparking beryllium copper, I assume?), a Lufkin tape (I can't pass these up for some reason), 10" adjustables by Crescent and Wizard, 1/2" ratchets by Craftsman (1950s), Snap-On (2 X S71), and SK, a Yankee Handyman screwdriver, a Plomb wood handled screwdriver, 1/2" breaker bars by Craftsman (2 X circle U), New Britain, and an unknown (but nice) 1/4" drive "Chromium Vanadium" breaker. It didn't come particularly cheap, but I feel good about the quality and oddity of the stuff I got.

sooperdave · May 20, 2012

Some good finds yesterday, congrats. I pretty much missed out on a good one. Didnt venture too far from home but found a 50's creeper that was cool and a 6 ft standing mirror (i know not tools) for 10 bucks that my wife needed and would have cost us much much more if store bought.

HeelSpur · May 20, 2012

You ran across some good stuff there, I ran across chinese **** not a good day.

jeffmoss26 · May 20, 2012

Flatintoone, which pliers are Klein?

Flatintoone · May 20, 2012

The Linesman's in the second row, to the right of the red-handled needlenose and above the red-handled Channellocks, are the Kleins.

sooperdave · May 20, 2012

Ok, i redeemed myself from yesterdays whiff. Randomly drove around and found a decent lot of tools and two neat old books, a compression tester, an old wire wheel new in orig box, wheels locks with key, bleeders, and two small rulers. Im a math guy so love old rulers. It was really a fishermans heaven but im no fisherman.

lowbucktruck · May 20, 2012

That's a sweet haul of tool finds there, Flatintoone. Good stuff!

jeffmoss26 · May 20, 2012

What brand are the lineman's pliers next to the red Channellocks? Are those actually Channellock brand with different grips?

warmpancakes · May 20, 2012

not much good over the weekend,
a NOS stanley alddin thermos 3.00 it has minimal box wear and its MADE IN THE USA

and a strange pair of crimpers thomas betts

jeffmoss26 · May 20, 2012

That is an interesting crimper! Is there a part number by chance?

lowbucktruck · May 20, 2012

I think I'm having garage/yard sale withdrawls. You guys are picking up some really good stuff. I'm visiting family, so haven't hit any yard sales this weekend.

Not that I can see heres the other side

jeffmoss26 · May 20, 2012

WT-152 crimper, but I'm not sure what terminals it's for.
Never seen one like that.

warmpancakes · May 20, 2012

jeffmoss26 said:
WT-152 oven and range terminal crimper.
Thanks Google! Never seen one like that.

wow I must be blind I didnt see that number, I guess if i ever need to fix the stove or range im all set :dunno:

jeffmoss26 · May 20, 2012

The oven and range part was a mistake, damn google lol

Flatintoone · May 20, 2012

Jeff,
Those linesman's are Dunlap. The "Channellock" with the red grips are an unknown brand. The name is printed or etched (as opposed to stamped) onto the tool, and it has been mostly obliterated by patina.
The other "Channellocks" are Channellock, Proto, and Wizard.

bigcaddy · May 20, 2012

Thomas Betts tools are not cheap at all. I found a box of Thomas Betts Ty-Wrap zip tie guns at a sale once. I think there were 7 of them, all but one new in the box. I kept that one and sold the rest for a very nice profit.

Up to that point, i had never heard of that particular company before.

jeffmoss26 · May 20, 2012

I like their cable ties and insulated terminals but they aren't cheap. They used to make coax connectors and various hardware but sold that line to Belden.

warmpancakes · May 20, 2012

heck I was more excited about the thermos, you guys are changing that

Gregster · May 20, 2012

Got this for 20$. The guy wanted 50$ and I would have gave him that if all the original SO bits where there. That's the point I made and told him 'How many people have come here and wanted to actually buy it" He took my 20$. Considering the driver is worth about 75$ I think I did well, very little wear on the driver as well. The 3 flat tips have never been used and I can replace the "Mastercraft" bits with SO ones for about 60$ . Cost for this new is about 280$ CDN.

Terra Nova · May 20, 2012

Picked these up one street over. I've already started the resto on the box. May throw a thread up once it's done. If I understand the date code properly it points to 1979, so it's not all that vintage, but only a couple years younger than I am at least!. Not shown is a heat gun I got for $5 while I was there to peal the stickers off. $10 for the brand new 120 ft fish tape and $10 for the chest (which wasn't even for sale, I saw it in the corner and asked about it)

jeffmoss26 · May 20, 2012

wow...I paid a lot more than 10 bucks for that same fish tape haha

simplec6 · May 20, 2012

That is quite a tire in the background. What kinda ride is that?

Terra Nova · May 20, 2012

Not to gum up the thread too much with chit chat but I hate to miss a chance to pimp a picture of my ride

It's a 1968-ish Bronco. Tires are 38.5x14.50 Super Swamper TSL SX's. EFI 5.0 HO, C4. etc etc. Not much left of the original Bronco; frame, T-case and dashboard is about it.
