Need info on these

[Thumper68]

I got these as part of a lot from an auction last week and I can't find any info on these 2 models. Mostly I am looking for a value so I can pass them along to someone who will use them, if I kept them they would sit on a shelf collecting dust.

I have 4 of the dynamic jaw and 3 of the static jaw so I might keep the odd one to use.

[Can I try?]

Holy moly!

Is it fair to guess that you didn't pay anywhere near that amount for said auction lot?

No I didn't, a complete surprise to me. Now I just have to fugure out the best way to sell them.

So how would you guys who sell stuff all the time sell these?

Craig's list? Ebay?

I'd clean them up and see what size flat rate box they'll fit into. See what they've gone for under the eBay sold listings and go from there. If you can't find anything, start at 50% of list price with a "Best Offer" option.

I bought a decent size lot of air tools with a like new Cleco Air Screwdriver in the mix. Was shocked that the list price was over $1K. Listed it for maybe six months at half of that and kept dropping the price as time went on. I think it eventually sold for under $100.
That was one of those tools that gets provided by an employer for manufacturing. So while insanely pricey new, it didn't hold that value in the public market.

I don't think you'll have to go farther that GJ , There is a lot of 'heavy metal' guys on here !

Back in December I shipped a set of these to Adam Booth (Abom79 on YouTube).

He just posted a video of them in use.

Here is a video of me boxing them up for shipping, not easy to box something that weighs 55 pounds and get the box to not get destroyed.
