I finally managed to get a good deal at a garage sale!

Here is the score...

All of the sockets and extension were in the Wright box. I was hoping it was full of Wright Tools but it had a mixed batch. The sockets are, in descending order, Proto , Craftsman, Thorsen, Wright, Hornet, Snap-On, OTC, Wizard, and the deep well at the bottom has no name on it but a number RD-1222. I can list the sizes but for reference the biggest Proto is a 1-1/4". Extensions are Proto, Craftsman, and Thorsen. The Craftsman one rolled down to the Wright row while I wasn't looking. The adapter is a Great Neck.

Picked up two Proto adjustable wrenches 15" and 12" and an Armstrong adjustable wrench. The clamp is a Diecraft and the chisels are Dasco Pro. A couple random screwdrivers, a SK 1/2" breaker bar and a few Channellock pliers.

All in all I think I came out well for spending $26. I almost didn't get the Wright box and sockets. There was no price on it and I went back and forth. Finally, I decided I'd see how much he wanted and when he said $2 I decided to get it. :bounce:

Dude, you ****. I sell a lot of channel locks and get between $5 to $8 for the sizes you have there. The clamp looks forged $15. The proto adjustables are $10 each. The breaker is $10. And on and on. That's a good haul for a garage sale.

I got after the channel locks and the adjustable wrenches with a wire wheel on the drill press. I need to work on the Armstrong some more. I cleaned up the handles as well.

Nice haul !! You're set for Channelocks for quite a while.
Weird thing I noticed... I have a Walden breaker bar and a Fleet breaker bar and both have the same handle as your SK.
