Syracuse Restore - some goodies
« on: January 28, 2017, 03:13:12 PM »
   Really, honest, I rarely go to the Restore.  But my wife wanted to look for a 2 drawer file cabinet which we found - a nice one for $10.  While I was looking at tools she found a dust brush and a can of quilt basting spray, 50 cents each.
   I came up with a Walden Worcester 3/4" wrench - unfortunately badly worn in the socket - marked X19** , and PAT. APR. 14,1925 - on the opposite side marked MOTOR WHEEL CORP. 80584? or 30584?
   Left to right are some abrasive grinding discs, a 1-5/8" hole saw -new, the MOTOR WHEEL wrench, a 1 inch clamp, Snap-On V5224 angle wrench, an unmarked brake tool with a spoon-like end, alligator W&B in a diamond and "1" on other side, pliers with MH in circle (I forget what that stands for), Craftsman 43980 adjustable.  The C-man looks like it would be handy to hold a nut or bolt where you can't fit your hand.
The Restore has all the tools on a dedicated shelf now.  Total for tools only $8.75.  My contribution to Restore was a nice porcelain sink I was saving but now can't use.

I'd say you did quite well,probably worth your while to go a little more often.

Nice haul. I try to go at least once a day to the Habitat Restore. I have got very lucky at times. Yesterday i did find two Plomb combo wrenches and 4 Proto Challenger combo wrenches. Better prices than a pawnshop. I paid 75 cent each for the wrenches.

I went to the Restore yesterday.  All new tools.  No hand tools to speak of present.
You might say I have a tool collecting problem....
