Title: Slim Pickens on Wednesday and Friday Sales
Post by: dimwittedmoose51 on July 09, 2011, 08:32:11 PM
Wednesday was much better than Friday and that ain't sayin' much.  Found a sale that had pretty much been picked over and I only had like $4 in my pocket.  From that, I got a nice Trimo 14" alloy pipe wrench, a nice no name draw knife, a pr. of Lakside small pliers in great shape, and a handful of misc. wood and plastic handled screwdrivers.  Anyone know if there's a site that ID's wooden screwdrivers by the pattern they use in their handles?

Friday only found one location with anything resembling tools.  Dug around in their box and came up with $2 worth of .25 cent items.  Two Thorsen sockets, a Thorsen Combo wrench, a TruTest DOE and a couple of no name DOE's..  The Lewis knife is one I hadn't seen before, so that made #8.  Saturday stated out bad too, but I'll start another thread on that.

I didn't mention the level, but it's made by the Mayes Co.  It's missing the center vial and the left side has no fluid in it.  easy to replace I guess, but it can serve as a straight edge for now.   How many levels have both metric and US measurements put on the top edge??

That's a really lovely drawknife.   I couldn't have passed it up.  Like the turnscrews too!  Nice score over all.
