2 tools that make my heart race are vintage vises and vintage c-clamps. Also, any vintage machinery.

I'm afraid I'm a sucker for anything vintage and a bargain at the local flea market.
I don't NEED anymore adjustable wrenches, ratchets, screwdrivers, etc.
But when I find a guy at the local flea market this AM selling a long-handled 9/16 Snap On combo wrench (along with some garbage wrenches) and he tells me $2 for any of them, I can't pass it up.
Will I EVER use this wrench?? Probably not. Not a size I would normally need and I don't do that much wrenching any more. But for $2????
Who wouldn't????

I probably have enough clamps to sink a battleship, Still buying more.
I also can't resist GOOD sockets and sets. I bought 2 SK sets from HJE even though I really didn't need them

We need a place for the auction listings when any of us croke so we can go to each others auction and feed our addiction. Also than all the quality tools we have hoarded will end up with someone who loves them.

Hello,
Nothing wrong with loving older objects and wanting to own as many as possible. My weaknesses are wood chisels and screwdrivers. Old one especially
Thanks!

Adjustable wrenches and multi bit screwdrivers here. I can't go in HD without picking up one of the Klein 5 in 1 drivers for $9 bucks and some change. Iv'e got around 10 or so stashed around the house, shop, vehicles etc. and that's in addition to the numerous others iv'e collected over the years.
The problem is that the new Kleins aren't what they used to be.
I haven't generated much interest in vintage tools, but those are certainly worth being addicted to.
