Hit a few sales Friday. First one had plenty of tools but not much I needed especially at the prices he wanted. Did see a cool old Atlas drill press rigged up with two motors for slow speed, one ends up being a jackshaft. Did pick up a 1" thick 20" by 24" steel plate and a 4" steel cube for $22 total. Picture is after wire wheeling and for the cube, belt sander as well. The big plate has a little too much corrosion damage for a nice welding table, that is the good side LOL. May cut it up for vise stand. Thinking about my vintage Craftsman machinist vise on one end and my KR Wilson small arbor press on the other end.
Next stop was a moving sale, picked up a working Craftsman meter, Wilton USA made small exposed screw vise, Proto 4" red handle adjustable wrench, working AAA Maglite from the now closed Shreveport GM plant, Craftsman vise grips, Channellock pliers, Bonney needle nose and Bahco Adjustable wrench. $24 total.
Next stop was an estate sale, I passed on a decent Craftsman block grinder for $45 because I have about 6 already LOL plus a American Scale swivel jaw swivel base vise for $100. Was real tempted on the American Scale until I saw the dynamic jaw had beend brazed back on to the slide. I did pick up the cool little Cities Service oil can which has the cap with a separate screw on nozzle attached to th side so you never lose it. Also picked up another Channellocks, several Craftsman items, 3/8 RHFT, like new Crown label 7" saw blade and vitage green head hammer. Also picked up a Enderes cats paw puller, Klein adjustable wrench and linesmans pliers with blue handles and Kraeuter side cutters. The two cast iron wheels will be used for small living room cart and the flexible neck lamp will need a total rewire. $35 total.
On the way home and found a sale in my neighbor hood that wasn't advertised LOL. Lady said she had lots of tools at 7 AM but hardly any now LOL. Still picked up a cool folding draw knife, interesting tape measure device used for calculating TNT demoliton charges, small collection of vintage Snap On sockets, sliding handle and 1/4 driver. Also a Plomb 3/8 ratchet missing the selector lever and 4" Crescent wrench. Total was only $3!
Last picture is some stuff I picked up a week ago Saturday on the way to the Krewe of Centaur Mardi Gras parade in Shreveport, Estwing hammer, Mac 1/2D 1/2" wobble impact socket and Diamalloy adjustable wrench $6 total.
Let me know, I may already have it!
Thanks sasquatch!
Sweet score Flyer! A nice set of Vulcan drivers is not that common. A little far from me but sounds like I missed a good one. I have to stop going out at night and get back on the sale trail!
