And I have a pick that opens most tubular locks in a couple of seconds at most.

So do I, a big pair of bolt cutters. That's not the point. Ordinary cuff keys are very common. In the context of where and when security cuffs would be used, nobody would have the means at hand to release them other than the person who holds the correct key. Part of the security is that no two sets of cuffs are keyed alike, unlike ordinary ones where one key opens all.

Looks like a JET. Thats a great deal. Ditto on the You ****!

$50 ? !! You ****. I want one but haven't found one yet.

Thanks guys! It is a JET HVBS-461
Since I am a woodworker, this was one of those machines that I was watching for, but didn't need all that badly, so I was waiting for a killer deal before I picked one up. Now I just need to get a welder, an anvil, and a metal lathe and I will be unstoppable!

A quick stop into the tail end of an estate today after work and I grabbed up a few goodies.

Craftsman crown logo socket wrench set
Craftsman nut driver set with a SK 1/4" ratchet and a set of deep 1/4" drive sockets
Atha cross peen hammer... Atha went out of bizz before 1910 if I remember right.

I paid 18.00 for the lot. I didn't get to hit any sales last weAk because I was having one of my own . Had to clear out some of the clutter from two estates I bought. One more sale this Saturday and the final one the following Saturday should leave me enough room to buy allll winter!!!

Then earlier in the weAk I picked this 1927 Singer up off cl for 50 bucks. One of the old hens I chase had been wanting one for quilting . They have been selling pretty steady around 150-200 in my area and 300 on ebay. If she doesn't like it I can always flip it... for more TOOL money!!!

For a Singer that nice, I'd say you can make a handsome profit; Not necessarily a monetary one either!

 

[Macduf]

Great sales today
1 bunch of bog sockets in an odd holder
2 4 c-man wrenches vv
3 3 in one oil
4 kd brand metric hex key kit
5 odd sk socket
6 big pair of vice grips where someone welded new jaws on it . They look new so why the weld job?

Special use? Close up pics of the jaws?

And a mill, and a forge, and plasma cutter, the list goes on once you get started...

Here's the pictures of vice grips

 

[Outlawmws]

Yep Specialty jaws. I was thinking forming jaws until I saw them closed. They might be for fixturing something and the something needed that gap/Space.

Most of those old ones need the presser foot shaft replaced so that more modern feet can be used. Had to do it on my grandmother's.

 

[Outlawmws]

So what is wrong with the original foot? What is the benefit to the "upgrade"?

Those are for making lap joints usually in preparation for welding to possibly gluing panels during autobody repair work..

Picked these up for $350. The gray is Equipto. Not sure what brand the beige was is, but I couldn't pass them up.

I really know nothing about these at all. I'll let the lady friend decide what she needs. I did look into a parts source from singer and they still make some replacement parts!

Some recent finds.

Pic 1 is stuff I forgot to add from earlier sales.

The wooden shell was used for practicing loading a navy ship big gun! $20

On the left is some old vintage cast iron press, no name or markings found so far. $3

The two red wrench rolls are vintage military items, $5 at a pawn shop.

The wood plane is a Dunlap. Think I paid $10 for this one.

Pic 2 the articulated shoplight works and has already been rewired with newer cord, $15 at a flea market on the border of Minnesota.

Pic 3, 4, 5, more stuff I picked up for "free" from a widow I have been helping sell her late husbands tools.

 

[Private Lugnutz]

This morning's Early Bird haul...

Heavy duck WWII "TRANSPORT BAG" (also called Bailey bags), unknown box (no markings, possibly 50 cal ammo can), OD vinylized pouch (PROPERTY OF U.S. GOVERNMENT / O.C.D.) with belt loops on the back (I am guessing 1950's, 60's or even later), a 3-1/2 inch Columbia-made CRAFTSMAN vise, model 506-51800, 8-inch Danielson-made PROTO slip joints with a 1951 date code, and a wartime Plomb model 5480 1/2-drive speed brace.

 

[bagged89s10]

Picked up a $40 grinder stand. 34" high and weighs 90 pounds.

Anyone know what it's from?

My 1HP block grinder fits perfectly on it.

 

[Waggoner72]

Well...... I hit the Starrett mother load today... I'm not exactly sure what all I have here. I will post more close up pictures later and maybe make my own thread to get some advice.
All of this got posted for sale, guy didn't know the value. I paid $180 for everything.
I'm not Forsure myself on how much value I have here, all I knew at the time was that It was worth $180 Forsure.....

Basically everything is Starrett and there is still more to go through in back of my truck. Dial indicators, micrometers, magnetic bases, machinist levels, etc etc.

The big indicator is "Japan"

This is what I have left to go through in back of my truck. Some welding leads, more Starrett tools, various tools, brand new giant wright sockets.

Just needs cleaned up

 

[stewed baker]

Getting hard to breath ! The whole west coast is being deprived of oxygen, due to a giant suckage coming from Cabot, Arkansas ! Make it stop !

 

[Lump]

HOLY ****, Waggoner! That haul may be one of the biggest "You **** Award" candidates I've ever seen!

 

[Al Bundy]

That Starrett load is either the biggest you **** I've ever seen or it's waiting for the cops to show up and confiscate it.

 

[chopper1]

Holeeee schit

 

[tripplejl]

Nice score!

 

[rickhigginshtbr]

Bagged that's a Delta stand, 50's IIRC

 

[Outlawmws]

It's a Twista!

 

[Whchua]

Starrett......... You ****......

 

[Bobcat753]

YOU **** BIG TIME!!!!

That is one hell of a score. I am very jealous now.

 

[nine4gmc]

Major suckage on that Starret score!!

Mother of God, what I would have done for a deal like that when I started my tool and die apprenticeship.

 

[Craptain]

Damn! Waggoner. I can feel the wind in Florida from that suckage.

Hot damn!!

 

[Waggoner72]

Thanks y'all. I may go through the rest of the stuff this evening.

 

[bmwrd0]

Oh boy, that Starrett suckage...

I stopped by a small estate sale today, and picked up the following handful of Snap On (and Plomb adaptor) for $13:

The crowsfoot is 2 and 7/16! Couldn't pass that up!

 

[Waggoner72]

Starrett mother load part 2:

Went through the rest of the boxes and this is what I got, including the pictures above, all for the $180 price still.

Another Japan micrometer and a mitutoyo depth gauge

Giant drill bits and taps, all USA and new.

Various taps. Can someone explain to me why they come in packages of multiple of the same size? Do they wear out?

All the torch items are victor, brass hammers, proto long feeler gauges, Starrett magnetic indicator holder

Williams, Blackhawk, Armstrong wrenches, dewalt grinder, proto and Armstrong ratchets, and stick welder lead.

More files than I know what to do with. I honestly don't know what to do with all of it, I will probably sell a good majority and keep what I think I may use in the next 30 years....

I hope y'all enjoyed this loot run. I'm not a machinist by any means so any advice is welcome. I may make a thread later of up close pictures of all the Starrett tools.

 

[Craptain]

The taps are in sets. If you look closely you will see they are not the same. They all have the same thread but are different tapers for starting through bottoming taps.

BTW you **** even more.
