Came away with a KRA-109 hand box which will be a perfect fit for my mostly Mastercraft 3/4" drive socket set, it was $15.

Before:

After, a couple of hours work and some rattle can paint:

Husky made in U.S.A. Metric flare wrenches...new. $4.

Gray T-9 full chrome 3/8" speed wrench, $2

A Starrett Vee block (no clamp) $1

A couple of "hole saws" $1.

Those Husky wrenches are interesting. When HD was fairly new I bought a complete set of wrenches from them that were USA made and they are very very good quality. It was disappointing to see what they have come to.

Their Chinese flare-nut wrenches aren't too shabby though - I actually bought them TRYING to overtorque and break them and I haven't bent them or thrashed them. The chrome's peeled off though so maybe there is a limit to the abuse but still...

To the OP, your church sales are better than mine - usually old stuff you'd find at Kmart or Big Lots.

That's a great church sale. I've NEVER seen anything like those items at any church sales I've attended. And at GREAT prices. All for under $25.

That Starrett block is NICE.

You really did a number on that old socket case too. Very nice work.

Another Church sale today, no Snap-on this time, but still a couple of interesting items all for the grand sum of $6.35.

That hammer head is copper and the hand vise is a cool, school machine shop project, marked "J.A. McCormack" in tiny letters above the price tag.

Pliers are German made, the punch is marked "KRAEUTER USA 231-1" , the "C" clamps marked "B+C" (Brink + Cotton #143) and a General No 4 circle cutter.

The lady at that table said these tools were her father's and that he had passed away about twenty-five years back....love it when there is a bit of history too. I'll see her again soon, so I can confirm that he was JA McC.
