Let me explain the name, by Large Lot I mean 1048 pieces total. By Craftsman I mean mostly Craftsman, 664 sockets, and two 1/2" drive Craftsman ratchets. By sockets I mean mostly sockets, only 4 pieces weren't sockets. By found I mean I paid for them, but not a lot, not a you **** price, but I'm eating leftovers for lunch because I spent my lunch money for a few days. Ok so for the pictures:
You can tell I've got some little ones at home by the boxes I use to organize all of these.
I have everything from 4mm up to 24mm and 5/32" up to 1 1/16" 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" drive. All shallow well other than one straggler deep well 11/32". I pulled 5 pretty complete sets out already and have a full inventory list of what all I have left down to what pt the socket is, size, and drive. Some of the other brands in the set are Easco, Powerbuilt, Huskey, JS Allen, Bahco, and KD. There may be others but I did't write down each name and size because I didn't want to spend all day sorting these.
I did have a couple of Proto and Snap On sockets that found there way into my collection some how.
I found a guy here in town selling them and made an offer that was that. He'd told me that his father worked for a company in California that used all of these, the company bought everyone there a full set of new tools and said to toss all the old ones out for scrap. He took a huge box of them home and pulled out a complete set for himself, then gave the rest to the gentleman I purchased them from. They pulled out all of the deep well sockets and 4-5 more sets for his friends and family then sold the rest.
I've already got a more complete set than this for my shop, and pulled out another to keep in my truck, I'm giving two away to my family and have two pretty complete sets left. They are are about 62 pieces in each set, no ratchets or extensions, just sockets. Most of them are Craftsman, only a couple of the small 1/4" sockets are other brands but I picked the USA made ones first to complete the 5 total sets I pulled out. So here is the deal, I'm not really needing all 62 3/8" sockets, (Yes there really were 62 3/8" sockets in different drive sizes.) nor am I needing most of the rest of them. So this is what I'd like to do. If you or someone you know needs a set of them PM me why, budding mechanic, had some stolen, etc. and be willing to pay the flat rate shipping box lets say $6 (That is the small flat rate box, I hope they fit in that one.) I'll pick the two best stories and send them on to you/them.
As for the rest of the individual sockets let me know if anyone needs something to complete a set and I'll try to help you out, I'll have to charge you shipping just so I don't spend tons of money on that, but will let you know how much it will be.
So there you have it, if you are interested let me know and I'll see what I can do.
