1000+ pieces of Craftsman tools - All USA

I'm lowering the price as I go. See the bottom post for the current price, and notes about what's added to or sold out of the lot.

I need to get serious about cutting down on Craftsman stuff. I get this in with tool lots I buy to get the Proto I collect. Every toolbox seems to have a few dozen CM in it! All of these I believe are USA made. I throw the asian ones in the scrap iron when I sort them. I may have missed a few, but I don't think so.

I laid them out and counted. There are 14 ratchets, 69 wrenches, 53 drivers, 14 extensions, 1 t-bar, 815 sockets (mostly sorted out by drive size and into sequential sets), 8 pliers, 14 punches/chisels, 1 stud remover, 1 fly cutter, 3 screw removers, 1 lady slipper bar, 2 magnetic socket insert sets, 5 screw extractor set, 40 hex keys in sets, a drill and driver set, 6 cases for a total of over 1050 tools.

$1250 for all of it as one lot; shipping included.

I will not go through the sockets looking for the unobtanium needed to fill out your Hansen racks. I'm not interested in selling one socket to fill out your missing one. I don't want to sell them a set at a time; I can do that much more efficiently on ebay. (I've sold a thousand or more already that way) I do want to sell them as one lot, or as a large group (sockets, ratchets, wrenches, or such group). Buy them, keep what you want and ebay the rest for a profit. This deal is not for everyone. But, for a shop that needs replacement tools in quantity or for someone who wants to sell off part and keep their pick for free, it's a great deal at less than $1.25 per tool.

more photo's....

Adding a few more pictures in response to questions about the condition. This shows the typical condition. Wrenches are good with a few having rust speckling. Sockets range from new to worn, I've thrown out the damaged ones and the autographed ones, for the most part. Some might have slipped through.

More condition pictures.

Adding pictures of the long DBE for an interested buyer.....

Okay, these are sold, so 10 less in the total set.

I'm easily amused; so I'll do something here to show the sales progression of this lot. I'm pulling out pieces to put on ebay, starting with what I see as the least valuable, but somewhat random picks. I'll put the net price after fees that they sell for here and we'll see what the lot value comes out to. My prediction is I'll net about $2200 on these. At least at first, the remaining lot will be for sale at a decreasing price, subtracting the same price per piece ($1.25). When we get down to only high value items, I'll change the lot price to reflect that. If I add items to the lot, the price will be increased at $1.25 each to reflect the new number of pieces.
