I don't see a lot of tools I want to buy at estate sales, and they often have high prices, but this one was a little different. I stopped there yesterday and looked at tool boxes and a parts washer. The J C Penny box that was for sale had some Indestro sockets in it, but the price was too high.
Came back this afternoon and talked him down on the box ( He said it is "vintage" and worth a lot of $! ). I didn't mention the Indestro hex sockets and 1/2" drive Indestro sockets were worth more than the box.
As for the parts washer, it was a Northern Tool 20 gallon model that yesterday he wanted $200 for. Today it was $100 and the same price as the same Chinese washer at Harbor Freight and Northern Tool. Offered $70 to see what they would say and they wouldn't come down so it stayed there.
Indestro 1/2" drive sockets- 1/2 to 1" with a 13/16" spark plug socket and a 5" extension.
Indestro hex sockets from 1/4 to 7/16 with a spiral socket
Indestro hex sockets from 1/4 to 7/16 look like marked Japan, in a small open case and a hex wrench with a detent included
Indestro #922 double offset DBE 1/2 and 9/16
1/2" Hex Drive socket set in a case with a hex key with detent - 7/16 to 7/8
A Cheney claw hammer
A Crescent LS 75 1/2" drive ratchet marked JAPAN K
Chinese Combo wrench set 3/8" to 5/8" in a carrier
Two Nicholson rasps
Stanley 50' tape
Two Promark made in Taiwan adjustable 6" AND 8"
One Bluegrass Clutch Head screwdriver # T2-BG CL5 1/4" PT

Hello, Papaw. Nice haul, I like the Indestro tools!! Regards, Lou

I like the bent tip needlenose pliers. What brand are they? Those are extremely handy in certain situations.
-
No brand on them. The tips are bent a little bit.
The Cheney hammer is marked Cheney Tool *** Little Falls N. Y.
6 Inch slip joint pliers with screwdriver end and 6 inch dikes with unusual grooves on the jaws and a slot in the cutting edges. Neither have makers marks.

The grooves in the side cutters are probably for stripping the insulation.
-
The makers mark on the dikes would be on the other side. I have seen Bell System ones with the stripping grooves. Sometimes there is the Utica triangles logo on the inside of the handles.

Nice pile you picked up there papaw
