this past friday:
yard sale that turned out to be an estate sale, so I stood in line. Shed in the back yard, saw the 12" proto adjustable and grabbed that then started the search. I wasn't the first one in to the little shed but it seemed like I was the only one who was willing to get dirty. Dug through some boxes on the floor, passed up some old cman but came up with some sockets and pliers, the offset jaw pipe wrench and a little anvil that was really cool but I couldn't justify the space it would take up. Moved over to the other side of the shed and grabbed the wrenches, the SK Wayne breaker (with a square drive in the handle end) and the extension/adapter. Sockets are mostly proto with a couple snap on I think. Also found a BSA wrench with 4 sizes, thought it was pretty cool. Out the door for $17, and thats paying the marked $8 for that 12" proto
saturday went to a guy's sale that I went to last week, which will be documented in my next post. Got there bright and early based on my haul last weekend. Wasn't as rich as last time but still came away happy.
I think I have a neighbor on here because someone posted some finds that had the same blue paint on them. Anyways..
plomb+proto chisels and center punch
proto pickle fork that cleaned up pretty nicely
vlchek 1 1/2" + 1 ?/??" DOE
some other wrenches, bonney 1" combo, proto 1 1/16", proto 1", others
some proto extensions, some plomb WF extensions
proto stud remover
cornwell flathead screwdriver
pliers I thought were plomb but I don't think so anymore
old snap on ratchet, s-71 i think? half inch
10" proto clik-stop
plvmb pebble 1/2" breaker
challenger 1/2" breaker
big C clamp
had basically all that plus a small 2 jaw puller and 2 snap on gasket scrapers in my pile.. 35$, same as last week. he said it was because of the "specialty" tools, meaning the puller and the picklefork and the snap on scrapers. got everything except the clamp, some small wrenches and the puller for $12. then on the way out saw the big boy impact, greasy and no markings other than a serial and "made in japan" asked how much, 20$. offered 15 he said no so I loaded my **** into the truck. thought about it for a minute and went back and got it. Told him Ill take it for 20 if you throw in some of my old pile. "How much of your old pile?" "the rest of it."
I ended up paying an extra 3$ to include the c clamp and I walked away happy. As I drove off I realized I basically traded a couple very used scrapers for a big *** impact gun. works for me
Then on the way back hit a little yard sale (upper left corner of the picture), not sure if it was already picked through but I got 2 proto impact sockets, a couple drive size adapters and then this big hinged crowsfoot spanner wrench thing. paid $3 plus 1$ for a copy of blacks law dictionary (my 3rd). I looked up the part number on the tool and its for hydraulic cylinder gland nuts.
Not sure on the maker of this impact, maybe someone can help with ID?
googled the model number engraving but came up dry.
I guess its not visible in the pic, but it looks like "clp 183" or "LIP 183" or CLF or something like that. hand engraved along with a name and some kind of serial or tool room stock number or something.
