Found these at a local pawn shop this morning after about an hour of digging through bins. For the grade total of $5.35

Vintage Kleins are really good tools. Good steel, good fit & finish, and sharp cutting edges. Hard to beat!

Nice find.

Good job. Our local pawn shop marks used **** for new prices and doesn't negotiate. They loan money and keep acquiring stuff and never seem to sell it.

The pawn shops around here always have the same policy, If it ain't Snap On, it's Chinese. They will give you exactly squat, For "import junk" like Armstrong,Matco,Proto,Bonney,Mac,and others. This is why I don't ever try to buy stuff or sell stuff, at local pawn shops. Ken.

That is the reason I buy from the local pawn shops.

Dang, at ~$1.50 per tool, I'd give you a "Super ****" :thumbup: I can't imagine finding those prices at a common garage sale, let alone a pawn shop. :shocking: Especially the auto strippers. Are those USA made?

This is the same shop I found a Proto 1/4" ratchet for 2 bucks like new. Used it rebuild my Grandfathers Plomb and got the 3/8 kit to make a stubby. The strippers are marked Sears but I believe they where made by Ideal. I have got several other deals at this shop on specialty tools as they didn't know what they were, little stuff though. All the Kliens are in great shape, better than ones I use everyday. I'm going back one day this week and dig some more.

Sounds like a great place. Those strippers look like a pair of ideal strip masters, that is why I asked the COO. Again great score :thumbup:
