My little haul (pics)

[oak_park]

I'm a fairly new member and starting my collection of tools. Here's my take from today's garage sales and 1 flea market. I think I did okay. Enjoy!

Indestro Super 1/2 Ratchet #3275 Mint condition. 52 teeth, smooth.

JCPenny 3/8 Ratchet. I'm guessing is SK. Very 'clicky'. Directional Lever ruff.

Diamalloy Nippers, Made in USA Like new, 75 cents

Vintage Channellock Needle nose. Awesome handles.

Craftsman tool carrying case for drills or something? Very Clean! No Keys to lock. Not sure how I'm gonna fix that, can't keep lid closed nor carry without a locking device. Any suggestions?

But its a perfect paint match to a toolbox I bought from Mickey couple weeks ago.

Very nice haul, especially the Indestro ratchet, it's a Super (step up) and looks to be in real nice shape. I wonder if the J C Penney ratchet is a Litton/New Britain? I have/had that Identical Craftsman metal box, not sure if I still have it or not, you can just buy a new lockset for it at Menards or Sears. Very nice haul indeed.

What Flea Market did you go to, Northlake? I've seen one down on Joliet road just off 355/55 but haven't gone there, yet (it's only about a 20 - 30 minute drive).

Thanks! I hit a few garage sales in Westchester and stopped by Swap-O-Rama Melrose Park(Mannheim&Lake). I've been there several times and usually don't find much. But its free on fridays and an easy way to kill an hour. I'll check out Menards for the lockset, HD didn't have one that would fit.

nice score! So is indestro super a nice brand? i got an indestro super ratcheting wrench that's pretty old from my grandpa

It is nice stuff, I agree with the penncrest being an SK. Take your lock out of your Craftsman box and take it to a locksmith as they will make keys with no problem and cost is very low and you keep it all original.

there might be a number on that lock
