Auction Purchase -- Guess the random tools

[bimmer1980]

I was at an auction this past week and picked up this material cart that had some tool boards mounted on each side. I'm suspecting that this was possibly a display of how not to treat your tools in a manufacturing facility...

Some of the tools are pretty beat, but some could be usable with some new handles, etc. I like the Wilton clamp, but it could use a new swivel pad. Some of the hammers don't look too bad, but will probably need a new handle.

This unit was purchased for $25.

Also bought an identical material cart (but without the tools) for $12.

Any guesses on the use of some of those odd ball tools??

At the same auction I also picked up these face shields for $1 for the lot of four of them.

Three of them are Jackson brand.

I'm thinking they just need a good cleaning before I put them into service. I want one at each of the areas in my garage where I'm doing grinding or sanding that will send metal sparks flying....


I also picked up a box lot of these magnetic tool holders for the side of a tool box. Looks like they would be good for cans or random tools. Not the best picture of them... That box lot also included a number of AckroMill Bins, included the giant yellow one.

Also got a Flammable trash bin for $3.

I spent the most money on the Flammable Cabinet at $75...

Also got a box lot of air hoses... Tested them and ended up with five that are in great shape-- 3/8" hose with 1/4" connectors on them. Have another few of 1/2" hose and 3/8" connectors that I have not test yet... Paid $5 for all of the hose....

I had hoped to get a Stronghold cabinet, but they went for more than I wanted to pay.... Maybe another time....

How do you find these auctions? Can you post a close up of the L and the extension with bit on the backside of the board?

You don't screw a hammer to a board if you plan on using it, so must be some weird display. My first thought was examples of tool abuse.

Well, the big metal things with the long handles are hammers. . . that much I know.

Nice score!

Oh my gosh those poor hammers, some poor schmuck just killed them... Hammericide

That flammables cabinet for 75 bucks is a steal!

Could that board be a display of tools found in a machine, sort of a "FOD" board as a reminder?

The ball peen hammers were obviously used as electrical tape dispensers....
