more flea market tools

[PWC Repair]

Picked up this stuff this weekend for a total of $8...yay!
3 Proto Proffessional 12pt 1/2" drive deepwells, 1/2, 9/16, 11/16. 2 Williams superrench a 1092 and a 1090D which doesn't seem to be good quality, could it be a chinese imposter? An old Snap-on 60C, no date code and branded inside the handle, and ground down ages ago. And a Champion Dearment #307 battery plier. I feel like I did OK.

I like your $8.00 dollars flea finds good job!

Good deal for those tools!

That Champion battery plier is a great find. Though most new side terminal batteries won't use such a tool, I use my battery pliers for all sorts of corroded/rusted/deformed fittings on A/C's and evap coolers. I think they are perfect for screwed up fasteners.

Those battery or parrot nose pliers are a nice find. I have been casually keeping both of my eyes out for a pair at garage sales, etc. for quite some time and I have yet to come across some that aren't made of gold according to the owner trying to sell them. I can see how they would be very nice to have in certain situations.

Bonneyman and Jeremy are right about your pliers, I've heard them called "nutbusters" too. They grip kinda like a pipe wrench if that makes sense.

Thanks guys. I can see how the battery pliers would bite in. I'll give them a go on my next rusted or rounded bolt.

I grabbed a NOS pair of Channellocks from Epsteins for $12 I think. FYI.

Oh nice, thanks. There site can be relatively hard to casually browse for stuff and I hadn't seen them there. I have been slowly gathering a list of things to add together for one order from them (to save on shipping) and I might just add a pair of those too.

Nice score. Last week I picked up my first garage sale find. A nice, but old Cornwell 1/2" ratchet. $2 bucks is what I paid for it.

Champion DeArment is the original name of Channellock. Nice old pliers!!

Good find! I have been trying to find a nice pair of the battery pliers for cheap for some time. Every pair I find seems to be completely ragged out.
