Snap on pawn shop score!

[rockinacummins]

Went into the pawn shop I frequent usually once a week. The guy in there knows me and knows what I'm after so as soon as I walk in he tells me he's got some good stuff. So he shows me this old snap on road box and tells me that it all goes together. Almost everything in it was snap on except the torque wrenches, the dremel, and the fluke. Probably 40 wrenches, 5 socket sets plus a few strays, probably 10 extensions, 2 ratchets, 3 breaker bars, and 10 or so screwdrivers. The majority of it is underlined logo stuff in near perfect condition. Even found the snap on ticket book with receipts from every payment the original buyer paid. Sticker price was $450 and I got it for $400 out the door.

Also found this little... set... thing... in the box. What the heck is it?













The name on the little doo-hickeys is Blain. They all have specific sizes on them.

Nice, looks like the bits to a spot weld drill bit kit

 

[Hencini]

I was thinking some kind of tamper proof sockets at first, but now I'm wondering if they're not very small hole saw bits. Do they look like they're sharpened for cutting?

Looks like a hole saw to me. I'm probly wrong

I can only wish to score a deal like that here, seriously.

Anyway, I'm assuming you'll be selling some/all of this SO lot? If so, I have a list below I'm looking to get.

1/2" drive 6 pt 30mm shallow socket

1/2" drive 6 pt 27mm deep socket

3/4" drive 6 pt 46mm shallow socket

Let me know, thanks!

I believe the set you found is a hole cutter kit, designed for steel,sheet metal, wood and plastic.

The mystery tool looks like the spot weld cutters I use, although my set only has two sizes.

Kinda like these:

[NicksRodz]

Nice box also!

3/4" drive 6 pt 46mm shallow socket

what do you use this one for?

also, keep in mind that this size is virtually identical in size to 1-13/16" which may be MUCH cheaper to buy on ebay!

Spot weld cutter. There's supposed to be a pilot, a spring-loaded awl that keeps the bit centered while you start the cut. They work great. If you'll be welding the panel back in place, the little center piece stays welded to the back panel and helps locate the front panel for re-welding. If you're replacing the front panel, the center piece grinds right off. Spot welds differ in size, so you need the right bit to just barely cut around it so as not to remove more material than necessary. Beats the heck out of a chisel!

 

[miketyler]

another equivalent cutter set is a Rotobroach. That one is a Blair cutter kit just not in the orange plastic case

 

[Herod]

That ratchet/socket set drawer is like a time machine. Awesome.

You never see old harbor freight toolboxes full of old harbor fright tools like that......

 

[Erampu]

I think they're hemorrhoid trimming bits for the Dremel in the top drawer. (Hint: don't use at top speed.)

I really dislike you right about now. Our pawn shops think Kobalt and Husky is high dollar brands...

 

[rockinacummins]

Thanks guys. Yeah the little hole cutter type things are very sharp. They will probably find their way onto eBay. I don't have much use for them. Lol. Most of the snap on stuff will remain where I found it. Except when I'm using it, that is. Lol

Agreed - around here it's not unusual for me to see a beat up snap-on item priced above new retail, at a pawn shop. It's like they think it is made of solid gold. And if you try to enquire about the item and negotiate its (too high) price, they all but laugh you out the door because, "you obviously don't recognize that this is SNAP-ON." Please, I could BIN on eBay on my phone, while standing in your store, and the one I got shipped to my door would be in better condition, for half the price - yet I'm the one that's foolish...

 

[stock z/28]

That certainly looks like a nice find.

In regards to the Fluke tester, I may be wrong but I think I have one very similar to it, and it may be a low impedance model to help in some back feed situations. If it is this style of device I would be care full using it on computer circuits as the higher load may damage the circuit?

I would guess the model number would give you the specs?


Good luck

definitely a good deal. easy money doubler. I cant believe a pawn shop left meat on the bone.

The one with the arbor attached is a spot weld cutter. The other seven are Blaircutters. They are for sheetmetal. I have the better and more expensive Blair Rotabroach's which can cut through thicker metal. I wish those were Rotabroach's a I need to replace a few broken ones LOL.

what do you use this one for?

The 46mm is for my '88 Volkswagen Vanagon's rear axle castle nut.

I'll keep that in mind about the SAE equivalent, thanks!

 

[rockinacummins]

So they are just basically small hole saws? Lol
