Title: Weekend pawnie finds
Post by: bonneyman on February 16, 2016, 08:47:56 PM

Took two hours of digging (totally fun!) and walked away with all this goodness for $5. Two Snap-On tools are in there, too!

I like swap meets,  will be May before thee is one nearby.  Right now we have a foot of snow on the ground.   That is a big variety.

I grab USA-made aviation clamps whenever I find them. Foreign ones are such junk.

And I've had several comments on the 1/4" Williams ratchet.

Strangely, I find that pawn shops often--but not always--have reasonable prices.
And they often don't charge sales tax--or give sales receipts

Some of the best collector / user tools i have found have been at the Habitat Restore.
