Thrift/pawn store finds

[1badbird]

Had some free time yesterday so I decided to hit some of the local thrift/resale/pawn stores. Overall did pretty good, all the tools are made in the u.s.a, expect one. A little bit of everything, velchek, billings, s&k, blackhawk, challenger, p&c, powr Kraft, craftsman, as well as a few others. Small wrenches were 5 for a 1.00, other wrenches were .50-1.00 each, and sockets were .30 each. Also got a metal bookcase and a cool metal sign.

You did real good

The one wrench with the small hole in the handle was part of a tool kit that you could screw a few more wrenches together; think along the lines of the largest wrench on the bottom followed by the next smaller size and so on.

Good job and a great price for all that vintage bling.

Yeah I knew it was part of a kit and unfortunately it was the only one I found but I figured for 50cents it was a neat piece.

Nice! I hit our local thrifts but never find any tools other than Harbor Fail stuff. I'm sure the stuff comes in, but our thrifts get picked pretty hard around here. Good score.

Good find! I have to pick up a 23mm today.
