2015 Garage SaleThread

[Mohawk Dave]

JakeMac and Mohawk Dave:

The one end does look like the early style pickaroon used in logging.

However, the other end is what is throwing me, as it just has a narrow style striking or hammer head that I haven't yet found in the pictures of the early pickaroons.

Wonder if they had a reason to combine two functions into the same tool in logging?

Yea...google vintage pickaroon axe and look at images. There's quite a few from light weight to heavy. I'm guessing with heavier logs one could use the hammer to beat and move stuff or even break off small branches etc.

Edit: I also saw links where dudes have taken old fire axes or other axes and turned into a pickaroon. which is what I will do now since I have not found a real pickaroon but I have plenty of old axes from yard sales

 

[jakemac]

Looks like an early style Pickaroon.

[smacks forehead] Thanks Dave, that was the word I was looking for earlier.

Yes, it's a Pickaroon.

 

[BFBOB]

came across a nice penens 1/2" set in what I am guessing is an original box. Does anyone know what the label looked like ( said..) originally? 20bux

I don't KNOW, but best guess: Big letters: RUGGED.

Smaller letters,

 

[Lobo74]

I have a jaw if you want it...I think? but usually the stops for the jaw are broken and allows the pipe jaws to collapse

topop--Thanks for the pipe jaw. Betsy says thanks too. She said she feels whole again!!!

Nice scores, guys!
I picked up this small Craftsman air compressor cheap. 1 cylinder and a small tank, nice portable size. The owner was packing up, I asked him about the compressor and he said it was "tired". Took it home and it fired right up and built pressure fine. Paid $20 for it.

 

[Outlawmws]

Maybe he meant HE was "tired"?

Nice score! How fast will it hit shutoff?

That old Sears builds pressure up in about 3 to 4 minutes and hits shutoff. Has plenty of pressure to run a brad nailer (which is why I picked it up). The 1/2 horsepower Emerson electric motor is in good condition. Compressor pump runs fairly quiet too.

I know I'm late but Wow! I just can't believe the suckage this week. Impala64,Outlaw,Davefr to name a few, you all ****!

t4runner though, congrats You Really ****! ! In fact, I think that haul ***** so much that it may have sucked the suckage from all the other suckees who sucked in the past. All those top quality ratchets and other tools have to equal the biggest "yOU ****" I've ever seen in this thread!
Please at least tell us the seller was blind, or maybe from another planet and never heard of a tool before!

 

[lowbucktruck]

I have to agree 3baygarage... in my humble opinion, t4runner has earned the most suckage this week for that major tool score!!! Envy envy envy...

Nice little RI grab off Craigslist.
Pair of Art Metal silly heavy card file cabs.
One will make a sweet side cab to my vidmar. The other... Striper, Jake, Bagged, Strout?

Nice! Do those have oval holes in the bottom of the drawers towards the front?

 

[Squashfest81]

Zkling, just checked. Circles, what does this mean?

 

[zkling]

Just curious. I have one like that. Only downside to them is the bottom of the drawers isn't flat. Each individual drawer should lift out of the main track. Are they ~18.5" wide, 28" deep?

Very nice! I have a pair of oak card catalogs from Boston public library. Hardest part is organizing the drawers!

 

[Squashfest81]

I think it will be some awesome storage. The bearings are massive for the drawer size. Here is a drawer pic. Mine are flat... And yes, that is the size and they lift right out.

IBM punch card files?

 

[Outlawmws]

If the bottoms are a problem, cut out Masonite inserts and drop in.

OH By the way, w
CT scan and CEA blood test at morgantown came back normal, No signs of colon cancer, or The fancy word for cancer spreading to other organs, !!All looks good, CEA was 4.2 , said It's normal.
Needs to be under 5.................well You Know,
So I am not dieing just yet, and will continue for my quest of quality tools, at a low cost.
Thank you for all the support and well wishes.

 

[Thaddeaus]

Pick up a few Craftsman =v= to make a 3/8th set, and these to items for $1.25
I think the screwdriver is missing piece's, as it looks like it might have been able to hold a screw. and the second I have no clue, it's made of aluminum, and if I were to guess I would say both ends are 1/2", but will check later.

Also found one of these. One of my favorites....

 

[ShadowRuleZ]

Grabbed a nice steel cabinet/catalog last weekend for $60. Should be handy. Not nearly as big or pretty as the oak card catalogs I grabbed from Boston public library though...

Here's my $20 version!

 

[AnthonyJ124]

Here's my $20 version!

Great grab. I have a little handle jealously.

Hit a moving sale this morning, paid $1 for a Fluke VoltAlert and a picquic stubby

[Outlawmws]

Mike, you will LOVE that RAS. Give it a tune up, and you will be amazed.

Outlaw:

I had a RAS a few years back, but sold it when I moved.

Saw this Dewalt a year ago and liked the look of it, but price was higher than the market.

A month ago, saw it again and price was reduced and thought about it, but decided it was still a bit high for me. Owner suggested making an offer, so went back yesterday and we came to agreement. Been cleaning and lubing it up and so far no bad surprises. Looks like it will do the job.

 

[jlh92]

Stopped by an estate sale this morning and picked up a few ratchets.

Paid $6.50 for the three. The 3/8" Easco is completely locked up but looks to be in good shape otherwise. Hopefully a little cleaning will get it spinning again.

There was also an older Craftsman vise there for $45 but I only had $35 on me. I put a 'bid' in for $30 so they'll call me before doing the 1/2 price thing tomorrow. I assume someone will pick it up at $45 though.

 

[bigcaddy]

I hit one sale this morning and it was a gold mine! More pictures will follow but this was the hands-down best find.

Blackhawk nuggies 1/4" set. 100% complete with some extra sockets and universal joint with the original plastic case

 

[bigcaddy]

Here is a shot of the lid before I get to cleaning and waxing
