Two bucks ($2) for this stuff

[orangeblood]

I was driving home with groceries in the car (including fresh meats for bbq smoking) and it was 97 degrees hot.

Saw a garage sale sign and followed it to a driveway where the sale was closing down. I quickly looked through a $1/item bin and found the 2 Jorgensen clamps. The box with assorted stuff in it was free. I cleaned everything up and the stuff in the two pics below plus a lot of hardware were had for $2.

The guy holding the sale was disposing of his recently deceased FIL's stuff. There was a lot more to go through but i was already pushing the envelope with fresh meat in the car.

The crimpers look new, the rasp is Nichols US made. The box is a Waterloo Craftsman(?). It has been used but not abused. Looks like the guy had it in his truck (since it is missing the casters) and at some point it was broken into. Lock is missing and the back has a small roughly ripped hole in the sheet metal.

I dont know what the blue set of gauges(?) in the bottom right are for...any help will be appreciated identifying what they are.

+1. Yep, that's it. They're also good for cleaning carb jets (if you're careful).

thanks...had no idea that was their purpose

I agree. Tip cleaners for a welder’s torch.

I agree. Tip cleaners for a welder’s torch. You don’t need that stuff. Give it to somebody that has a Ranch in the Hill Country

Dirty job but someone has to do it.
And someone else has to say it.

The black and red handled pliers looking tool is a sheet metal crimper for round metal pipe. Malco brand probably.

The thin wire loops next to the torch tip cleaner looks like match holders for lighting camp stoves and furnace pilots.

The wires next to the tip cleaners are wire ties for tying re-bar in concrete work....

They are sack ties for tying up sacks really but they do work great for tying rebar.
