I love the little hand plane with the original box. COOL.

That is a very nice little haul, more than a few things I would have been happy to grab myself.

[JC23]

Care to say what you paid? We always dig a "you ****" deal.

 

[Sokoloff]

Last line said $30.

 

[Arne73]

Wow-
A haul for sure. That little tap & die set in the yellow case looks to be Craftsman late 60's early 70's.
Nice selection of tools.

 

[Amitygravel]

Wow! I thought I had a lot of files , in one fell swoop you took me out of the running. Not to mention all the other great stuff you scored , FOR 30 BUCKS !

You **** !!

That's a little spendy for a milk crate. What did you pay for the tools?



Just kidding. Great find.

The Snap On ratchet is dated 1954.

very nice haul. well done!

 

[2oolhound]

I think your reamers are stud extractors. At least I couldn't see any reamers there. At any rate - you **** buddy.

 

[Kirbot]

Very nice haul indeed!
You ****, especially for that price!


One little piece of advise though, might save you a little wasted time...
Railroad spikes make really lousy cold chisels.
WAY too soft...

I guess it would work if you were desperate and had plenty of time to resharpen, but personally, I gave up on the idea pretty quickly and just switched to a proper cold chisel.

 

[JASTECH]

Very nice indeed!
I sure miss yard sales and flea markets, they don't have anything but poor quality yard sales out this way. I will be moving to Texas this year so looking forward to warmer weather and the yard sales!

Thanks, JASTECH

 

[JimDon]

that klein hammer is an electricians hammer. notice the long nose on it., it is made for hammering inside electrical boxes. good score.

[woody 73]

You did fantastic,and indeed in one fell swoop you have as many files as my whole collection;good job!

 

[Goldboattail455]

That's what I get for leaving home.

Nice find!

 

[BJ42LX]

Hey, how about some close up shots of the SK sets? And an inventory. I find I'm interested in old SK lately...

Yeah I can't use the spike for chiseling grade 8 bolts....lol

But i work in plumbing and they work pretty good for caping out brass plugs and *******.

Shouldn't leave your door unlocked....... neighbor.lol

Yeah I guess if your only using it for brass and ******* (....) It would work.

There's not enough carbon (if I remember my metallurgy) in them to heat treat them to be hard enough to use on even soft steel though.

Yeah, I'll bet it's made by Stanley
Thanks,

That is correct. Are they Plomb or Proto? If they're Plomb you deserve a major ****.
