This being half of what I bought at a garage sale, the other half which comprised of a tool box set of metric combination wrenches, channel locks, set of philips and standard screw drivers which I gave to my daughter all for $60 the sockets which were H code full set with breaker bar t handle and extension..wright torque wrench..

 

[paulm12]

forgot this reloader, came free with the box of wrenches I recently got. Will sell to cover the wrenches. Anyone interested?

 

[littleponderosa]

joseph, i'd sure as hell paid $15 for it. hell, even if it doesn't run or drill true that is worthy of a "you ****"

Bill

 

[littleponderosa]

Paul, is the press large enough for 50bmg? I've got a buddy who might be interested.

Bill

Figured some of you guys knew a bit about the older Craftsman drill presses so I thought I'd ask my question here. If there's a thread on GJ about them, let me know and I'll post there!

I borrowed this picture from another thread. Are the two rods, one where the pulley attaches and the one with the notches, supposed to slide or be fixed to each other? On mine, when you lower the chuck, the pulley goes down as well and bottoms out on the casting. It doesn't seem right to me, but I've never messed with one before.

Go to this thread. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=227480

There was this Craftsman tool chest with castle:

The drawers felt like they moved pretty good. It sold for 85$.

Firworks,

That castle looks pretty similar to that Army Corp. of Engineers insignia.

Great finds.

Nice haul, Ryan. Posted alphabetically, too--very tidy.

I'm in love with my Stripmasters, also an estate sale find. It's like using a nail gun--its makes it so easy, you never go back.

 

[Outlawmws]

Bill

Not a chance. 30-06 is close to capacity.

 

[Outlawmws]

Holy Cow guys, its Wed. Doesn't anyone work anymore? (sellers or buyers)

Great Scores!

 

[paulm12]

Not a chance. 30-06 is close to capacity.

the shaft diameter on the press is just over 0.800"

Paul

 

[thecody59]

The craftsman sale is in the morning so hopefully i can have some good stuff to show you guys tomorrow! It snowed a lot today so it won't be fun standing outside in line tomorrow i will try to get there at least a hour early. I hope to walk out of there with at least those craftsman ratchets and breaker bars and i will be happy.

 

[Outlawmws]

Paul

The shaft isn't the issue; the stroke is too short. also I strongly doubt the dies that fit that could be machined for a 50 BMG case. Its too fat.

 

[Outlawmws]

Do you think I got a good buy for $15?

No, you got raked over the coals. But I hate to see an new member get stuck like that so I'll buy it off you so you don't take a loss...

 

[littleponderosa]

Ok, what are you going to dedicate to that press? You are correct that it is a 30 cal, at least that is what I found on a search. Damn thing has gotta be heavy, but probably one helluva press.
Bill

 

[thecody59]

First in line by a minute. Got here a hour and 10 minutes early. Guess i get first crack and the tools.

 

[jakemac]

I'm so excited !
I'm on the edge of my seat as I type.
I can't wait to see what you come out with.
Good Luck !!!!!!

 

[thecody59]

Oh no the guy behind me is after the tools as well. There are 99% guys here. My strategy is grab first look at prices later or i won't get anything. Going to grab every ratchet and breaker bar i see then i will go for the other stuff.

My plans of sleeping in were crashed last night when I got a text from Merc mentioning an estate sale near me. The company running it is a good one with decent pricing and it was right around the corner so we met up over there this morning. There were lots of carry boxes, Kennedy and Craftsman cantilevers and some others but nothing really needed. I dug around long enough and finally found a Proto wrench, mostly everything was China or Taiwan, just as I was about done looking, I saw the familiar Snap On fiberglass handle on the body hammer and snatched it up. Total spent, $3.

 

[jakemac]

It's been over an hour and we still haven't heard from Cody.
I hope we didn't lose him in the stampede.

Hope he didn't slip on any pet hair!

I didn't do as well as Nine but I picked up a rubber mallet, wooden mallet, boy's axe, and Coleman 413G stove in good condition for $17. No pictures for now, maybe during lunch.

Wish I would've gotten there a bit earlier, but the wife decided to start some 5:30 AM yoga class. Crazy women...

 

[thecody59]

Sorry guys went to a few places after the sale. The sale was mostly a bust i don't know what happened but a lot of the tools like the ratchets were missing. The guy behind me got a few because they took everything out of the chest and put it on the tables so that cost me some time. I think they sold some stuff before the sale myself even tho the guy said they didn't.

 

[thecody59]

All the pliers were $1.50 each and i got some craftsman, crescent, klein. The adjustable wrenches were a set at $4.50 and they were tiger, craftsman, proto.

 

[thecody59]

Some ford tools at $1.50 each

What a bummer.
I've had that happen, it *****.

Oh well, you've got another sale lined up for tomorrow don't you ?
More money to spend on that one. Better luck next time.

 

[thecody59]

Got this Hitachi drill for $6.50 but i forgot the charger if there was one which i don't think there was. I Can either buy a replacement or see if one of mine at home will fit it!

 

[thecody59]

I bought this for a member here because he wanted it. If you guys ever want me to keep a eye on something for you i will. I always some across a lot of stuff i don't need so i don't buy it but i am always willing to help out you guys!

I've noticed a trend in my area that all the yard/garage sales start on Thursday or Friday during the day. Not sure what the idea behind it is since most people have to work during the week. Maybe they want to leave the **** for the people who come on weekends?

Yeah either they slipped by because they were tucked away somewhere or they were sold to a worker there? The older guy behind me was really nice and we talked for awhile but he took the good stuff i didn't get! Oh well i always find craftsman stuff every once and a while like the usa ratchets and breaker bars so there will always be more at another sale. I might come back tho because the wrenches they kept in sets same as the screwdrivers and sockets. But they were price over $40 but at half off they will be a better deal!

Bingo.
They're targeting the resellers in an attempt to clear out more stuff in bulk. The rest is left for the weekend hunters.

 

[thecody59]

Who knows about the one tomorrow there are no pics yet and all they say is snap-on tool collectibles! That could either mean tools or it could mean snap-on hats and toy trucks who knows?
