I brought home a creeper, an oil can and some belt measuring sticks this week.

I took the wheels off of the creeper, chipped out all of the crusted grease and dirt from the wheels, straightened a couple of bent wheels, cleaned and Armor-alled the wood and headrest, and am waiting to re-install the wheels, because I need a couple dozen 10/24 carriage bolts to replace all of the old stripped ones:

I tried to keep as much of the original patina and character as possible while removing the old crusty grease clumps.
I paid $13 for the creeper.

I added another Swingspout can to my collection :

I paid $15 for this 5qt. can.


And I got a couple of fan belt measuring sticks, along with a dozen or so new belts in a lot. I took apart one of the measuring sticks and cleaned it up. Here it is next to the "as bought" one:

These Gates tools have a rotating internal guide that shows the belt sizes for what you are measuring.

I paid $15 for both measuring tools and a dozen belts.

Awesome scores!
I'd love to find an old creeper to restore. And those old school belt sizers are da bomb!:thumbup:

For just the belts and the two belt gauges, I'm prepared to offer a resounding "You ****". The creeper is pretty slick too.
