Title: Craziest mix of tools here
Post by: Bill Houghton on February 20, 2019, 09:30:07 PM

This thread, http://www.papawswrench.com/vboard/index.php?topic=24428.0 (http://www.papawswrench.com/vboard/index.php?topic=24428.0), from Northwoods, led me to this eBay offering:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/GREAT-LOT-OF-VINTAGE-AND-ANQUITE-TOOLS/113626549400?_trkparms=aid%3D333200%26algo%3DCOMP.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20171012094517%26meid%3D2377bbf0422549c4b75cbcf0ccb393e2%26pid%3D100008%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D7%26sd%3D233134660193%26itm%3D113626549400&_trksid=p2047675.c100008.m2219 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/GREAT-LOT-OF-VINTAGE-AND-ANQUITE-TOOLS/113626549400?_trkparms=aid%3D333200%26algo%3DCOMP.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20171012094517%26meid%3D2377bbf0422549c4b75cbcf0ccb393e2%26pid%3D100008%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D7%26sd%3D233134660193%26itm%3D113626549400&_trksid=p2047675.c100008.m2219)

Crazy mix of tools.  Saw sets, safety wiring pliers, torpedo levels.  There are individual tools that I'd pick up at a yard sale at the right (cheap) price, but the whole package sure doesn't look worth the asking price to me.  And there are items at the left edge of the photo that they never show in their entirety.

I checked the seller's other items.  There's another tool lot - still steep at $40 + $18 shipping (but it does have a "Make Offer").  The other lot has a lot of interesting small tools.

I'm pretty sure he has this same stuff on CL or FB in Rochester , NY. I've looked at it a few times.

Interesting little pipe wrench in the upper right corner.
