Had to go into the city Thursday, near the ReStore. Japan socket set, incomplete, bought for the neat box. Neat little mini tube bender kit, good for crafts. Two small buffing wheels (if that's what they are!), Proto, Wizard and Pexto adjustable.

The barn in Memphis NY was open again this weekend and I found these Stanley utility knives for a buck apiece.

Just up the road from the barn there was a house sale. Got a metal box that I might use as a "trunk"/tool kit holder on a bicycle. Welding tip cleaner, Penens 1/2 drive ratchet, works perfectly, and the chrome cleaned up fairly well. Wrenches - a Craftsman Vanadium tappet wrench 7/16 x 17/32, Snap-On verrry looong 5/8 combo specialty wrench for Fluid Drive transmission (date code 1951), Snap-On GOEX32 and 36 industrial finish wrenches one of which hasa 1965 date code. Everything cost a total of $6. If I knew what the gadgety tool on the right was, I might have left it behind. Now that I know what it is I'm glad I only paid 25 cents for it.

Unly the top photo is from the ReStore, but yes, I've been to 2 other New York state ReStores. One had no tools while the other had a few tools that were useless junk.
