Up to the Neck in wrenches!

[nahuebsch82]

I need advice on what to do with my extra wrenches!! a year or so ago I purchased a bulk container of wrenches for $10 I have sorted though and kept what I wanted, put together car "kits" and gave some to family members. I still about about 50-75 wrenches of various common sizes...a hand full of USA made left, which I'll just sell, but the bulk is just dirty or rusty import junk. Should I attempt to resell as a bulk and get my money back or just donate? Any other ideas? I need and want to get rid of them! Thanks

Are they heavy? Weigh 'em in for scrap

Make some cool art pieces out of them. Weld them into a lamp or something cool.

Become an artist and weld them together into something.
Use them for cabinet handles.
Give them to neighborhood kids to start out with.
Leave them on someone's doorstep, knock, then run like hell.
Take them to the zoo and throw them at the monkeys.

Honestly, taking them to a flea market or something and selling them as a bulk lot sounds like the best idea.

Find a $5 tool box, throw them in it and sell it for $10

Fill an older cheap blingy toolbox with a set or two of cheapos and leave it unlocked in plain sight in the garage. Move your real toolbox behind something out of sight. Toss all the 2nd rate tools in it to make room for quality in the real toolbox.

When they come to borrow a tool direct them to the loaner box. Every time. Never loan one out from your own better tools ever again.

Whenever I go through and weed out my tools I make a box and give it to a deserving kid. I will go to HF and buy some cheap stuff, like a ball pein hammer small hook and pick set ect. It is totally worth it to see the look on a kids face when they receive their first tool box. Most of the time when I do this, the kids box is better than their dads tools. I also tell them if they take care of the tools and actually use them, I will upgrade them in a few years.
