General Discussion / Estate Sale #1 3/23/2024
« Last post by Yadda on March 27, 2024, 09:25:18 PM »
This is the first of two estate sale buys today.  Craftsman magnetic torpedo level, Pexto tin snips, Barcalo DBE wrench, Disston tape measure, wizard combo wrench, two no-name prybars, a Husky mini Torx driver set, and an Indestro sliding T bar. Not bad for $4.50.

Can’t have too many of those. I regret selling some off in the early days.

Some say that 3 of anything is a collection.  Your friend just started you down the path of completing a Plomb pebble dbe collection.  You'll always think of him as you build on the collection that he started for you.  No matter what- they are among the best looking wrenches ever made.  Even the plating has a distinct color.  Enjoy them!!

How thoughtful of your friend! There's just something special about receiving a gift that holds sentimental value, like those Plomb box ends. It's truly a reminder of the bond and connection we share with our friends. Speaking of cherished gifts, have you ever considered personalized Mother's Day gifts? They're a wonderful way to show appreciation for the amazing moms in our lives!

It could be the welding chipping hammer in lieu of the rock pick.  Rock pick has a square head,  welding looks like
Darn nice hammer. You're right, but I see you identified it as an Estwing. I got two of their framing hammers with that blue handle. Many years ago I bought a bunch of new hammers. That's them pictured on the far right
Anyway, I know it's a chipping hammer cause I made one once. Took the wood handle off a claw hammer. Used a cutting torch and anvil and hammered that into one. I enjoyed stretching out the claw end. Flattened the head out and ground an edge on her. Rarely got any use cause I always had a pneumatic tool for that.
Thanks for showing this welding hammer. Both of em.

Nice find.  The hex box with the nicely polished handle is, quite surely a lathe tail stock wrench

With the exception of a couple of framing hammers, all of the Estwings I own are leather handled.   

they are getting harder to find in the wild these days

Is the Billings & Spencer in the upper right to tighten packing nuts?

yes, it's a  hook spanner  mostly for packing nuts

Everything else seem to be for machinery, except the "vice grips".

he was a machine repair guy so yes

A couple of those are agricultural , but a bit unusual, at least to me


 It does appear that the clamp could be an owner mod.  Good workmanship to adapt a regular clamp for a specific job.

yes it is


 If only tools could talk....
