Latest item saved from the trash

[dwall174]

I've always been amazed by some of the items people throw-out!

Now it seems as though I've gotten my brother involved in helping me feed my old tool/machinery addiction.

My brother stopped by the other day & said he had something for me in the back of his car. He stated that he didn't know what it was, But it looked like something I would want!

They were just planning to toss it out where he works!

Great, if it will get used or sold

Nice! Very cool brother you have.

You have a use for a pipe vise? I've given up on acquiring 'stuff' as it consumes space that could be used for usable, by me, stuff. That was a great tool in its day.

This.. it's only worth it if it'll get used.. I have an electric cement mixer (among dozens of other thing) that I've never used, can't bring myself to sell, and it's just a waste of space.. I've saved enough orphans...

Those are very useful if you do any pipe work. I salvaged a more compact model from the garbage probably because they did not know what it was. Mine looks as though it belongs on a SHOPSMITH or something similar. I use mine for hold exhaust pipes, etc.

Maybe they need the room for useful stuff.

Looks cool, but it would be just something else, for me to stumble over and I already have plenty.

Enjoy!

I'd imagine you could use them for locking down angle iron and long stretches of straight steel as well, sort of like a feeder table extension. if someone rolled by my house and dropped it off with me I figure I could use it from time to time rather than letting stuff drag on the ground and marring up the concrete.

Good score and good save! I somewhat agree with the others about accumulating things we do not need, but it pisses me off to see perfectly good tools go into the trash. Please donate them to a good cause like Restore or the Salvation Army Thrift Store. Someone who needs it will buy it and the proceeds go to a good cause.

I have a pipe stand and vise and use it quite often.

Nice, especially for free.

Not very often, But there's been times it would have came in handy.
Being it folds up pretty good I should be able to find spot to put it.

Probably more like no one there knew what it was & they just wanted to get rid of it.

My brother works in a advertising/sales type office & he said it's just been sitting in the back of their storage/receiving area for several years. I'm guessing that a plumbing or electric contractor may have left it behind at some point.
