Great score!
Somebody really knew their tools, whoever your benefactor was.
Its funny, you can tell practically everything about a guy rooting through his tools after he's dead.
Those two short tinsnip type pliers are jewelers snips. High power for slicing off strips of silver or gold like nothing else.
I never saw bent adjustable needle nose before, ever!
Anything marked vacuumgrip are quality goods.
The long Buck brothers is a sash mortise chisel. Not a common pattern of chisel.
Keep buying those chuck keys! I had to break down and buy some new ones recently, and I ---did not-- like it! I keep a stash too but the one I needed was not there.
yours Scott

Thanks for the information on Buck Brothers. My first serious chisel was an old Buck Brothers I picked up at a yard sale for 25 cents. It has worked at everything from paring to chopping mortises. I still have it, still use it. Still keep my eyes open for these chisels. One of my other favorite manufacturers is D.R. Barton, so it's interesting that the Bucks began by working for that company in the US. Dependable high quality all around.
