Paid too much for a Snap On split beam torque wrench yesterday, so today I was rewarded I think with some decent deals.

Old Proto Pebble 5449 (needs a kit) along with a Mustang ratchet for $8.

Old Craftsman ratchet, Armstrong ratchet, Craftsman 17/19 DBE, Snap On 1/4 ext (TMX60), and a 4" Diamond adj wrench (not pictured) for $11.

Picked up the vessel impact driver for $2. Looked through his other stuff and found the snap on screwdriver (SDD6). He asked 50 cents and he didn't have change to break a $5, so he gave it to me for FREE. He said he wasn't worried about 50 cents. Woohoo!

Last is probably my favorite find in a while. I came in and saw this Hein Werner O'Boy jack and I remember reading something about it a while ago and knew it was probably rebuildable. The guy asked $10 for the broke jack. I passed and decided to walk around. On the way back to my car, I said to myself, if he still had it, I'd buy it. He did and I asked again for the price and he said $5. Okay. Woohoo! 3 of the wheels were frozen dragging it back to my car. I spent about 30 mins breaking loose the 3 wheels. When you pump it, it makes a whooshing sound, but nothing happens. I have no idea about jacks, so I'll probably read up a bit. Probably needs a rebuild kit. Very cool I think.

Thanks for the plug Steven

Be advised: Hiball is the man when it comes to "soft kits" for these jacks. He's a stand up guy and you'll have no issues dealing with him

I just read the entire thread Hiball linked for your restoration... and wow. Fantastic job! I can't see myself putting that much into this jack. I'm going to see if there's hydraulic fluid still in there and go from there.
