7 tool boxes and a Vise for $50!

[hbbikeguy]

This is my estate sale score this morning. The old man had passed and the adult kids were clearing out the garage. They were moving mom into a home. They invited me back tomorrow at 5am to get a first look before they open up. SWEET!
There are some tools in the boxes also but not much. I'll post more pictures later of those. Everything for $50.

I'm a stay at home dad now for the last few years so I flip almost everything to help with the bills. What do you want??[emoji4]

This is my favorite of the lot. Could double as a lunch box due to it's diminutive size. Would work great on the rear rack of one of my 50's beach cruisers. Really I want to talk my 11 year old daughter into using it for her lunches. I really like the red interior.

+1 that the two Dunlap toolboxes and the Craftsman vise alone are good buy for the $50 you spent. Adding in the Kennedy box gets you to YOU **** territory !!

Again . . . do LOVE that cool Dunlap box !! That's a lifetime keeper.

I looked up my vise under completed listing (ebay) and was pleasantly surprised. I don't quite understand why these sold for so much. Look at the additional shipping also. Wow!

Not that it really applies to this forum but I also picked this stair lift / lift chair for $135

 

[hbbikeguy]

They told me they put it in new 14 months ago. But I have not confirmed this. It worked great!

 

[hbbikeguy]

I'm to far away for that [emoji22]. Sorry.

Man I like metal tool boxes. I am a large emergency generator technician. I work on many things so large I use a 20"water pump pliers. So because of the size of the tools and the demands of the job. Plastic tool boxes don't have a chance.

This box is almost certainly a corded drill carrier.

Here's a 1/4" Dunlap drill and tote I got from my FIL. Same color and shape, with the drill support metal yours is missing but the holes are where they would be. (I don't have an interior shot but I'm sure it's red).

To bad mine didn't have the tool in it, lol.

Yeah, the chrome plated Dunlap drill is nice. And I've already been informed by the misses that it isn't for sale.

That's a good wife, she's a keeper.

Because it's a US made for Sears by Columbian (Wilton) unit. Good deal...The vise alone is a $75 item and that one looks to be in good shape.

 

[hbbikeguy]

It really cleaned up nice. It appears NOS. It's never been bolted down from the appearence of holes. But that's a guess.

I have that vise. It's my "main" vise. It's not the best vise, the dynamic jaw has a bunch of side-to-side play, the hold-down *****, but for clamping ****, it's pretty damn good. As it is good enough for me, I would say it's a good vise for the average homeowner.

This thread could be a subsection of why the next generation is doomed.. "kids" sold that vice.

Great find. That Dunlap box is my favorite too.

That Craftsman 5 1/2" was my first vise, bought it new, works great, still have it!
