I stopped by a estate sale that was just down the street from my house this morning and saw this waiting for me.

I never owned one and thought why not try it out.

Gave $10 for it.

 

[jakemac]

Been hitting yard sales for the past few weekends with no luck till today. Old guy retiring and dumping off everything. .................. Got a 4 1/2" post vise for $25, ..............

Around here, that would go for 3 to 4 times that amount. You ****, great score.

 

[mike_paxton]

Short stop list this week, (no clue why... Maybe Schools out adn everybody went on VACA?

Except for a bunk bed ladder for my youngest and her loft bed (No pic $5...) Absolutely NOTHING...

The only saving grace was this from a CL ad: $40 as it was frozen (screw wouldn't turn for them) but I got it to budge, and knew it shouldn't be too tough to get it apart. 3-1/2" jaws the jaws are in pretty good shape so should clean up nice.

As found other than I shot it with PB blaster

Outlaw:

Great pick up on that Vise.

Glad you were able to get that "unfrozen" fairly quickly.

[Outlawmws]

Madison, that looks like it has the marine ply jaws instead of the particle board jaws; True? if the working face double thickness or single?

Great score in either case!

 

[Outlawmws]

Thanks Mike!

I know it's not particle board for sure, but it's a nice work surface for sure! What is the thickness of a single and double?

 

[iajonesy]

Well.......I may be too stupid to post pictures on here but I was smart enough to buy 4 Jorgensen 4" c clamps and a very nice 1/4" Snap On ratchet for $5 yesterday.

They just cut a 1" or so strip of the ply and glue/screw that to the underside where the jaws meet. if your asking then almost certainly its just the single thickness, of the ply.

Here's today's YS finds...

Torque screwdriver kit (this thing sells for insane money!)
Empty Stanley metal box
Jug full of poker chips and a deck of cards
PLOMB WF 38 (Wright field) 1/2" dr ratchet (more on it later)
E. Edelmann & Co. #114 tubing cutter
Myrtle beach/Wanda army knife



This Sturtevant Richmont #810568/CAL36/4K 29 piece torque screwdriver kit is in excellent/like new condition (slight rust on a few bits)

Nice little (china made) army knife the has 'Myrtle beach' laser etched on one side and 'Wanda' etched on the other side.
I buy a lot of tools from a lady named Wanda (in fact I bought the PLOMB ratchet from her today) so I'm going to clean this knife up and give it to her this Wednesday at the flea market as a thank you gift for all the deals she gives me!



E. Edelmann & Co. No.114 tubing cutter (needs cutter wheel



Empty Stanley tool metal box



I'll post about the PLOMB ratchet in a moment....

[JMLangford]

Got this PLOMB WF38 (Wright field) ratchet today and when I found it I gave it a few clicks in one direction and then checked to see if it changed directions, which it did.....I didn't noticed any slippage.
I also think the reversing lever is backwards/flipped up instead of down

When I got home and took it apart to start cleaning it.....I found it had several broken teeth!

I'm sure with these WF series tools (1942-1945) that finding a repair kit is impossible.

Here are some pic anyways.....I was really lookin' forward to cleaning this one up.

Anyone need it for parts?





Got the others cleaned up pretty good!

[sgs236]

Went to an auction this morning and won this toolbox for 13 dollars. I took all the drawers out, but I could not find any markings or date stamp anywhere on the box. I'm thinking that it is a waterloo box, maybe from the eighties. Outside of the crappy paint job box is in great condition. A couple of very small dings in the back is all. Original color was orange. As a bonus, it had a Snap-On CT4C continuity tester in the bottom drawer.

Jim, I'd make a guess that the std Proto 5449 gear-1/2 drive would fit? If you have one its an easy test to make...

 

[Lobo74]

[Kellaway]

[twertsy]

That wissota is cool. What is the lever on the front for?

I have no idea what that's for. Haven't had time to look it over and investigate yet.............

Nope,it's a single thickness.

 

[onarant]

Found this today, $5.00 and it works great. I have cleaned it some, looked like it had been sitting for a long time. Gonna put new oil in it and a new blade.

Posted originally in the wrong thread.

The hole in the Proto J5449RK http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001HWCQLQ/?tag=atomicindus08-20 plate looks bigger (?) but it do look promising!

The rest of the pictures. The last pic is of all the vise's I've gathered in the last 3 weeks.

 

[jakemac]

Went back to the honey hole from yesterday this morning. I wasn't sure they'd be open due to pouring rain and the ad was pulled from CL last night. I went anyway just to see if they would be open. I wanted to see if they'd sell me just the drawers from the Cman workstation that was stuck under a sagging bench.

Instead of selling just the drawers, the son came over and Hulked the bench up off the box so I could pull it out. I also grabbed a large pair of General dividers.

The drawers will get added to the workstation in my shop, and the rest will get parted out, or scrapped.

I offered $20 for both pieces, and the woman running things said "give me $10". Your wish is my command.

Well, it appears I guessed wrong Jim. Sorry; unless WF Made different mods for wartime expediency (Possible), they do look different comparing a 5449 to my one WF style. the on;y other solution is to find a WF that si dead another way and make 1 good from 2 bads...

 

[Outlawmws]

So have to take the youngest back to College for summer session, (she's on track to finish 4 years in three...) and we plan to stop at that town's Flea market. I also found one estate sale, so we will see how that goes for a father's day...

 

[Davefr]

Some assorted tools for about $2/ea:

The vise (Fairmont???) was $20 the Plomb ratchet was $2 but needs a kit:

An oddball crankshaft grinding kit, "big block" Weller D550, R12 and Posi Track oil for $5.

Found a nice minty Zenith Transoceanic with original owners and service manual for $10:

Dremel on an X, Y stand for $12:

From Tek Engineer's moving sale. The scope was $10 and works great.

Two piles of misc for $10:

All the rest of this stuff came from a retired clock repairman. All I wanted was the little lathe but he said it's all or nothing. The entire lot was three benjamins. The bench drawers are still full of misc. parts and tools.:

The lathe is Derbyshire:

That's a very fine set up. Should be able to piece that out and easily put those dead president back in you wallet

I tried to buy a complete set up like that once. The seller was looking for 3k for it. I had to decline her (the widow) generous offer.

You did really really well. Thinking of going into clock repair now?

Saturday's finds.

Barcalo DOE wrench set missing the smallest size. That shoud be an easy find though.

Vulcan pipe chain wrench, Craftsman ratcheting driver and a Klein Scotchlok pliers

Some unique bookends from the estate of a machine shop teacher. Thought they would fit in with the garage.

I'd a dumped out 3 bengies for that setup in a second. If your reselling that you will do well.

 

[BlueBomber]

I hit the same honey hole JakeMac did, about 10 minutes after he left. SWMBO skimmed the entire house before I was even three steps into the garage. She retreated to the truck with a book, happy to wait on me while I spent another 45 minutes going through the piles (I love that woman!).

I piled up a variety of stuff I don't really need, but thought had value. As usual, I took many things I otherwise wouldn't have looked at twice, thanks to my ongoing GJ advanced degree in vintage tools.

Thanks to BJ42LX, I now twitch when I find forged C-clamps and gather them up. I found 20 today. The big ones are three Wiltons and one Williams. The smaller ones are all Cincinnati Tool Co Super Jrs.

A cylinder ridge reamer, in original box.

A grungy New Britain and a giant crown top Craftsman valve spring compressor.


A variety of wrenches, to include a mismatched but complete set of S-K combos, three 6" adjustables, a giant Crescent-brand adjustable with a round handle and a one inch Billings Vitalloy combo. Also, a small pair of needle nose Vice Grips.

A Milwaukee Magnum drill, in good condition.

A lamp for the workbench.

A tray of tooling for the lathe.

A Craftsman folding ruler, a Baty and two Starrett dial indicators, two mag mounts and a boom, two dividers, and a Mitutoyo caliper with precision dial.

A Snap-On bushing driver set.

A Black & Decker right angle drill adapter in original box, and a small Craftsman moulding cutter.

A big Walworth pipe cutter.

A box of wire, brass and bristle brushes and a NIB electric plug.

A Starrett index with a film of surface rust.

My first Stillson pipe wrench, big bolt cutter, and the biggest AG Coe monkey wrench I've ever seen.


A two-drawer Waterloo tool box full of electrical goodies - solder, fuses, e tape, etc.

Two small halogen work lights.

A no-name hole saw set, complete.

Not pictures are four jugs of low temp windshield washer fluid and two quarts of oil. I bought two and they threw in the rest.

My total price for all this? She started at $100, I countered with $50, and we settled at $70. [emoji5] Happy Father's Day!

 

[rmalkow2]

I only had time for one GS stop Friday on the way home from work. No tools as such to be found but I did pick up a few other items. Army canteen pouch, a military gun cleaning kit, a pistol cleaning kit, a bunch of small Tootsietoy and one Buddy L toy trucks. And, a really cool Colt Law Enforcement Products hat. $20 for all.

 

[jakemac]

Nice haul BBomber.
Yup, you've got a keeper there. (not talking about the tools)

Most of those clamps came out of the Cman drawers that I got earlier. They're not my style, but I was hoping you'd grab them. I missed the adjustable spud wrench, good eye. I had all those indicators and boom mounts in my hands on both days I was there, but waffled back and forth on them. In the end I left them behind. I'm not sure why. It must be that I knew you'd be batting clean-up.

 

[jeffmoss26]

Great stuff guys!

 

[BlueBomber]

Nice haul BBomber.

Yup, for sure! Her only rules are 1) gotta have a caffeinated beverage before sale-ing, and 2) anything I buy stays in the garage. Oh and 3) anything she finds goes on my pile for the final negotiation.

Glad you got the drawers you were after. Not sure what I'll do with all these great finds. My kids are starting to wonder about me...

 

[Smokeshow69]

I got a call from a co-worker who was a garage sale who knew I was looking for an old vise. She picked up this nice craftsman vise for $20. It has no cracks, welds or large damage. The swivel pin is slightly bent but I will fix that when I repaint. Who made this vise and how old is it?

 

[Outlawmws]

Wow you guys er just knocking it out of the park!

Mike/JM (Whoops!)

Today sucked, I went nowhere NEAR any sales: We started about 1 hour late to take my youngest to that collage summer session; (I was told she wasted to get there EARLY...) the Effing school as usual screwed a 20 min "unload and move into the dorms quick! into 2-1/2 hour waiting ordeal, so we missed the Yard sale, Estate sale and Fleamarket I had lined up- Happy Father's day. I was pissed.

The rest of the way seemed to follow suit.

 

[Outlawmws]

Smokes, that vise is probably about 1940-42 or so. Made either by Reed or Rock island, as both companies made identical vises according to samples that have been found.

Smoke that vise was made by rock island for craftsman. You will need to look at Outlaws craftsman vise thread for exact dates. But I think it was late 1930's-early 1940's.

Here is the link to outlaws thread for craftsman vise id.

Outlaw you are the expert so I differ to you, but I thought the reed ones had fixed jaws, my 5186 did, and the Rock Islands had removable jaws.
