2014 Garage sale thread!

[msgtsmithret]

lol, its been quiet for a while, i was due to find something

also a bahco adjustable, and 2 rigid al pipe wrenches

Ha Pace car! Wait till the wife sees all those tools on her stove. It might spoil your find a bit.

 

[PFSard]

Not really a garage sale find but a deal sourced through a friend of a friend. 2 Dorman Parts organizers $20 each. Not a screaming deal but I am pretty happy with them.

I'll see your $20 and raise you $5. I've been looking for these around here, but haven't seen them for less than $40.

 

[jeffmoss26]

Those organizers are sweet!

 

[3baygarage]

David Jackson, that 3 jaw puller isn't Chinese, its an Indestro.

Jammer, sweet find on the Craftsman axe!

 

[3baygarage]

Hey, did someone say Dorman?

Nice Dorman drawers Jeremy.



I just picked this up about 3 weeks ago with the contents for $5. Not pretty/sorta beat but worth the price I thought.

 

[JeremyBurke]

3bay: Talk about blowing a guy out of the water. It is post like your's that made me include the "not a screaming deal" line because your deal most surely is a screaming deal. You ****!

 

[3baygarage]

Thanks,would be nice if it was pretty though. Anyone know how to date these?

I was real happy with a middle of the week visit to ReStore. Picked up 4 cool tools that weren't overpriced and were in good condition. First was a pair of fence pliers. Some really early no. 1932 pliers that don't have the size stamped on them and has "Pat. Apl'd For" stamped on the obverse. They work smooth as silk and saw little use, if any. Next was a small 2" C-clamp from Cinncinati Tool, called the Super Jr. I love the macho stamping on the side: "FORGED STEEL, HEAT TREATED, MADE IN U.S.A." Makes me want to go workout at the gym.

Maybe later . . .

Then I found an unknown pair of scissors, a no. 4276 made by Clauss. I've no clue what they are but they look tough enough to cut wire. Last is a WW2 era pair of JP Danielson thin nose 6" pliers that look unused albeit slightly rusty. All for 10 bucks. I had to give up my lunch money but it was worth it

A customer brought me this old SK 1/2" socket set because he knew I collected old tools. What a nice surprise! The set appears to be missing the ratchet (like I care) but is otherwise complete. 1940's I would guess. Inside the box was a PLOMB T- handle my first ever PLOMB tool, and an underline Craftsman 12" extension. Nice way to start the day.

 

[msgtsmithret]

Great advice, thanks. Anyone know how to derust without killing the finish?

 

[jpickar]

0000 steel wool and WD40

 

[Outlawmws]

0000 steel wool and WD40

This works well; you can also go at it with a light touch and a fine wire wheel. Use a polishing approach. I do impacts and alleys that way all the time. You can also add a light oil to the process, but be warned, it gets VERY messy...

Bluebolt just dropped by with a ton of goodies!

Got my first wood Gerstner(big one at that), a Craftsman stand and top plates for both my band saw and 6x48 sander, some parts for the table saw I just picked up, a pedestal for my Baldor buffer and a great shop-warming present, a Craftsman Heritage open end wrench holder!! It's like Christmas in August

 

[madison069]

Here was a Craigslist score from today!!

I saw this toolbox and just had to have it for some odd reason, lol!

Key Included!

Drawers had carpet in them so they were in great shape!

It's stamped 03/70 on the bottom.

I also got these V series large wrench with the deal, 7/8" to 1 1/4" in size, looks to be hardly used and just have toolbox wear!

Also a SK Wayne 1/2" drive speed drive and a 3/8" par-X drive speed drive!

I gave a c-note for it all! Not too shabby I thought!

 

[ShadowRuleZ]

Very nice craftsman bottom box.

That Craftsman box is SUPER CLEAN!

No rust, no scratches, I'm not sure what I would do with myself.

Nice scores nine!! I'm digging the grinder pedestal and of course the Gerstner. I had a chance to buy one a few years back filled with tools for $250, but I didn't have enough $$ at the time. I still have nightmares about losing that deal.

Is that Craftsman wrench holder for metric ones? You hooked me up with the SAE one that was listed on ebay last year.

 

[sasquatch12]

Great day Nine4!!

 

[e_d]

Hit a thrift sore and local restore this morning. For $5.25 I got...
another Proto 9805 screwdriver $2
S-K40141 7/16 socket .25
Plomb LA starter punch I believe it is called .25
Heckmann bloc prod co magnetized punch (I have no idea of the purpose of this) .25
6 ft bungee cord $1.50
And a Nicopress no. 31DC $1

I've only had the chance to buy one Gerster and it was shot, missing a drawer, door, mirror, wrap and it was falling apart so I passed. This one is really nice, only missing the door but I can't use a door on my table anyway and one drawer need a small repair. I am beyond thrilled! This wrench holder is for the SAE.

Great day Nine4!!

Yes, thanks!

 

[madison069]

Nice Cman box. I had the matching top box 2 years ago. I regret selling it to this day.

The guy had the top but he wouldn't sell it. It was in just as good of a shape as this lower. Plus on top of that he had what looked like a complete sk wayne 3/8" drive socket set with wrench and 1/4" drive set for sell, He said he wanted another cnotes for those and I was like, . I didn't have that kind of cash for the week so I had to leave them behind.

 

[madison069]

No rust, no scratches, I'm not sure what I would do with myself.

It's going to my Dad for when he gets his new garage built. Only one thing, he lives 1,500 miles away. So until he can drive here to get it, I'll be using it for him!

[jkeller]

Nice! Around here that box alone would be $200

 

[thundermug]

FIL passed away 2.5 years ago, and my MIL asked me to help clean her basement this week. Told me to take whatever I could use. This represents about 1/5 of the tools from her late husband. The rest are going to be sold off or sourced to local craftsman and tradesmen. Must be three generations of tools down there.

Lots and lots of crowntop Craftsman stuff. Lots of it. In new or like-new condition. Some of it never used. Just amazing. He had three daughters, and only one has any interest in tools.

I'll comb through it when I get back to Chicago on Monday.

 

[Bobcat753]

You already ****.

 

[nine4gmc]

Major suckage!

 

[Craptain]

Madison, I have the same box with the top box. But nothing like the condition of yours. I paid $100 a year or two back with a few worthwhile tools and a bunch more junk in it.
Great score.

 

[ecotec]

Madison, that is an awesome box.

 

[rsieracki]

I'll comb through it when I get back to Chicago on Monday.

I'll be happy to come over and help you [emoji6]

 

[Private Lugnutz]

Guys,
Need some help. I am not a Craftsman collector. I can identify Craftsman Circle-H and BE tools because they are wartime. But I know nothing about toolboxes. This box looks mid- to late-40's to me, but that's just a SWAG. I've seen a similar box with a leather handle that was definitely 40's. The tools in it are underline-Craft sman Circle-H 40's (which could be misleading if the box was picked up in the 50's.) I remember guys finding boxes like this, if not exactly like this. Hoping someone will know definitively. I plan to clean it up and sell it, but need to know some facts first. Thanks in advance.

 

[3baygarage]

Key ****!









I was about to write off a sale today and then I saw just this one little key ring so I bought it. We'll have to get in touch again Jeff.

 

[jeffmoss26]
