How did I do? (Pawnshop find)

[clownbear69]

I went to a pawn shop looking for rolling tool box (discussed in my first thread). But I found a couple of tools and wondering if I did good, decent or terrible on the price.

The wrench is an unbranded "Made in the USA" being a 13/16 on one end and other end is 7/8

If you cant read the photo the other tool is a Klein hex tool (NO 68701)

I bought the pair for $5. So how did I do?

Wow, did the guy at least wear a mask when you got robbed? Just kidding, you did good....

really? Awesome

The regular price for the wrench was $4, the Klein was $3 offered $5

Would you be able to give a rough value on overall worth?

I always say if you walk away happy with the deal then you are one step ahead.

I think you paid about what they're worth. I see LOTS of similar items at pawn shops and flea markets, that can be picked up for a couple bucks.

Clean'em up a little and put'em to work.

 

[mmack66]

Similar Klein hex sets go for $5 -$8 new, so the both of them together for $5 was about right.

awesome glad I didn't get taken then. I might be looking back there today or tomorrow.

It's fun to build wrench/socket sets out of flea market/yard sale/pawn shop finds. It's fun digging around for sizes you need. After you build out your main set, you can build a set to keep in your trunk.

As stated in my other thread I have nothing so building it cheap is always good. It was fun digging through the bins

 

[rockinacummins]

Decent score. Around here, the tools with prices marked on them are way overpriced. The bins with the loose stuff usually goes for .25 to 1.00 a piece. Keep digging too, there's usually good stuff at the bottom!

That wrench was made by "Indestro", and is a good wrench. Probably unmarked because they made tools for other people, including Western Auto, I believe. The recessed center with that shape is their trademark.

Good to know thanks

Those Indestro wrenches are tough. I have an identical one to that wench only in 1/2-9/16.

You did okay for pawn shop prices. Visit more of them. Try an estate sale too. I would only pay 1 dollar per piece at an estate sale for those items. Part of the fun is the hunt.

the Klein folder is built by Eklind Tool Company of Chicago, it is a repackaged Eklind model 20911 and also marketed under several other brand names, around $8-$10 new - made in USA

I like these hex key sets!

I do so little with SAE I would have passed on both, but if they are something you can use not bad for pawn shop pricing. No more than a buck at a garage sale.

Id love to do garage sales stuff. problem around here is im literally the only person that sells decent stuff at a garage sale. Everyone else sell the real cheap tools but wants near retail for stuff.

As for SAE/ Metric I have a lot of older stuff that's in SAE but I do need metric for everything on my truck.

I bet I could've gotten the price lower if I bought more but I didn't have the money for more. Yet still cheaper than buying new in many cases.

I don't know how you did because I can't see the picture
