Kennedy boxes filled with tools

[alwaysFlOoReD]

I bought myself an early present. I was cruising kijiji and found an ad for " machinists tools and boxes ". I answered and got the call to go look at them. The boxes themselves are nothing too great but it is filled with tools from the PO begining in the tool and die trade ~ 30 years ago. He told me that he was tired of lugging them around as he hadn't used them for many years, and he was about to move yet again. I paid $100.00 and didn't need to look any further after he opened the first two drawers. On with some pics;

This is about 1/2 of what's in the boxes. I'm pretty happy There are lots of tools that I don't know the use of but I haven't finished researching yet.

Let me be the first to award you a "you ****" for this outstanding purchase.

[Jim Johnstone]

Wow! What a deal. Do you do any machining?

 

[MFolks]

Nice! The air tools by themselves are $$$$$$, plus all the taps & measuring tools.

 

[NJ Marty]

Ill be the second to say "You ****". What a great buy.

 

[Dan in Pasadena]

You ****!!!!

Congrats on a true steal.

 

[crice63]

I'm just shaking my head. You break even on any one drawer, the rest is free tools, and the boxes aren't bad either. Either congratulations or you ****, but they might mean the same thing.

 

[Jim Johnstone]

Man I'm jealous. A surface gauge and depth mic are on my short list of tools for work and there they are along with a mountain of other tools. I hope I can find a deal like that.

 

[beatcad]

are you ******* kidding!?
you **** with a capital S

 

[Whitworth]

So you paid $100 for a dial caliper and everything else was free.

You **** so much.

You should feel guilty...

But I wouldn't either. Very nice purchase.

 

[alwaysFlOoReD]

Wow! What a deal. Do you do any machining?

Not since high school 30 years ago. And I have no garage either since losing my rental space several months ago. My plans are to sell some of the tools and put the money into a land aquisition fund. If any one is interested in the consumables I'd be happy to consider a fair offer. I believe you can access 3 pages of pics here; https://imageshack.com/a/oVFz/3

Around here, the top box would cost you $100 empty. The bottom roller, more.
On those alone = you ****.

With tools = YOU ****, BIGTIME !

A low pressure front just moved in over Seattle due to the suckage in Alberta.

What a score.

 

[PFSard]

WOW. You ****.

 

[AV tinker er]

Those hammers look barley used; if those are core drills I see you have quite a bit of money there....... You **** for sure!

 

[zkling]

It was a good deal, but too bad they didn't go to someone that really needed and could have used them.

I've picked up lots before, learned what a tool was, then learned to use it. Half the time you think, "Damn, this makes it so easy!"



And someone that needed them should've been looking on Kijiji working at it harder than everybody else.

 

[Jim Johnstone]

I just looked through all the pics.........Holy ****. I'm speechless. A digimatic indicator? Are you ******* kidding me? That's like $400 right there! Angle plate, vee blocks, magnetic parallels, needle files, rad gages, surface gage, 12" dial calipers. That's like $1000 in the few items I just mentioned. You utterly robbed that guy. Sooooooo many of those tools are on my list to buy as I complete my apprenticeship.

 

[M6erfan]

Speechless...

Major suckage = YOU!

 

[uniballer]

Sweet jesus!

 

[Thumper68]

Well now I know who to thank for the rain in Northern MN today, you **** so bad that you pulled warm air all the way from the gulf of Mexico.

 

[PugetDude]

$100?? Are your freaking kidding?
It's a Sucking Christmas Miracle.

 

[2oolhound]

****! When I think of what I went through to get my Kennedy box restored to useable condition..... and yours WITH all those tools!

YOU ****!

 

[Drake9]

Holy ****! You ****! That is an amazing score

 

[mitusa]

Damn!!!! Did you bang his wife while you were there????

 

[Flatland Dave]

Some times it is nice to get a deal isn't it? Nice haul.

 

[Sam'sAutoParts]

Nice grab! I would have paid that for the boxes alone!

 

[CNGsaves]

Wow . . . just wow !!! Did the guy drop drop his pants, hold his arms up, and say Don't Shoot !!!

You bought a toolbox . . then got another toolbox AND then ALL CONTENTS FREE !!

. . . . . .
. . . . . . . obviously . . . . . . YOU **** !!!

 

[Scimonetti]

It's a christmas miracle!!!!!

 

[twertsy]

Wow......and I thought I got a good deal on my SS victim's gift! Nice score - super sucker!

 

[bisley45]

[jkherd]

This draws a serious vacuum!

 

[toddacimer]

[CoopVA]

That has got to be the best deal I have seen on here yet.... I never get any deals like that... Ever... You really ****....

Way to go!

Oh, did I tell you that you ****? Since you don't do any machining or even have a garage, you should send all that to me... I'll give you $200...

I understand your feelings as I share them. I would trade all those tools and more to have my health back. The reason I was able to find this deal is because I have time to look as I can't work a fulltime job, my knees are bone on bone and arthritus is catching me on my other joints. I've never been good at desk work and don't have the wherewithal to learn now. However I hope that this will help me toward a down payment on a piece of land so I can work at my own pace on money making projects. I have the skills and tools but....

So you paid $100 for a dial caliper and everything else was free.

You **** so much.

Gary

No, he paid $100 for a couple of boxes.

 

[kelpaso1]

My GOD!! All those tools are worth MANY thousands of dollars

How come I never win the lottery
