Stumbled across this listing yesterday evening on my bi-hourly makita hunt and decided since i could use a few of these things, id ask about the bow saw, the vise grips, the nupla hammer, a small crescent wrench and the wrecking bar. I'm trying to keep it modest, ya know?
The seller knew i took the bait, and she reeled me right in. She said to 'give me a price or take it all for $20'. I couldn't say SOLD fast enough. Just picked it all up a bit ago, wasnt at her house for longer than 2 minutes. She just wanted the heavy bin out of her hair! After loosely going through everything, here are some of the standout finds.
In order from left to right
Nupla lifetime Sledge
Old Craftsman hammer
Craftsman professional autolock pliers
Wiss m-300 shears?
Eklind tool company sae allen set
old Kraeuter cutters
Milwaukee 19 oz framing hammer and shears (almost new juat dirty)
Centeal forge gooseneck wrecking bar
Additionally, there are several brand new flat blade screwdrivers, putty knives, crescent wrenches, and even a 1/2 inch chisel i didnt see in the picture that i now get the pleasure of trying to revive. The bow saw also looks virtually brand new, and it still has an intact paper sheath over the blade. 10+ recip bi-metal blades and 2x 24-inch bellhanger bits (one milwaukee, one dewalt) idk what I'll do with.
Im a mobile mechanic, so having a versatile set of tools has become more and more important as time goes on. I have just about everything i need to tackle a majority of jobs in varying conditions, aside from a few select wrenches, specialty tools, and the electrical capacity to run my compressor anywhere. Im also going to help a friend out who is getting a motorcycle with a good set since his set is very basic and lacking a lot of vatiety. Since there are so many duplicates ill probably give a few select tools to my sister as well (maybe one day she will use them, shes really good with her hands but, she is a girl and would rather do makeup haha) What a score tho.
There are several items here worth well over $20 alone. Im going to clean some of the more unique tools up and try to bring them back to life, but all the tools with moving parts seem to work well. The drill works so too, i plan on using that for a diy drill press. Oddly enough, the plug on it is only 2 prong. Thought that was weird.
It truly pays to check facebook marketplace every time im on the toilet. And before i go to sleep. And whenever im cooking. And sometimes at red lights if there's tons of traffic. Pretty much, just check it every time you open your phone. Lol. Now, to organize all this. Or maybe I'll wait til tomorrow. Thanks for coming to my ted talk 👍🏽
