Those old "monkey wrenches", "Stillson wrenches", are literally a dime a dozen. Over on the other tool sites, there are guys who collect them and have thousands.

When I come across one in my travels, I check with one of the experts to see if it is rare or valuable, but usually it is about as common as a Crescent adjustable was in it's heyday.

thnx, jack vines

Perhaps more interesting is the old Snap On speeder wrench (advertised as a drill) http://www.shopgoodwill.com/auctions/Vintage-Snap-On-A-2001-Hand-Held-Manual-Drill-5958413.html#des

I gotcha......I tend to troll that site looking for a good deal on newer stuff. I thought I would post it up here, because I couldnt remember seeing any threads about it. There are ALWAYS some old tools on there.

that one is very interesting, looked all through alloy-artifacts and did not get a match, would be interesting to put a date to it

There are a couple things there that are interesting - the speeder wrench, an old Craftsman toolbox, a Starrett dial indicator - but the rest isn't much. I see they're trying to sell a $5 Radio Shack multimeter with a starting bid of $10.

I shop at their outlet store. Everything except books, stereo components, large furniture is 49 cents a pound. Bought a delta table saw for $15, 18 files + 1 torque wrench + MAC brake tool for $8, and a TEAC AGV 8520 (perfect condition) for $2.99.

There are latinos that hang out there waiting for them to bring new/old stuff out. It's like a mad rush once they yell out, 'go!' Its funny to see grown men digging into the toy section like cattle to the trough.

I've got one of those monkey wrenchs like the first one in the picture that says FORD USA on it. Not good for much though.
