Estate Sale 6/29/2024

[Yadda]

This weekend's estate sale buy is mostly clamps.  All but three clamps in this lot are Adjustable  brand clamps made in the US.  The 14.5 inch egg beater style hand drill is a Goodell Pratt, No. 1515.  Wrenches include Craftsman, Plomb, Proto, and Thorsen.  The Vise-Grips are 7R and 7WR.  The pick set is Mac Tools. The pliers are Proto Los Angeles which indicates they were probably made before 1958.   Thanks again to Alloy Artifacts for all the great info.

Nice collection. What's the story with that Chisel on the far right?

Is that a 4" adjustable wrench? Or smaller?  What brand?
Thanks

It is a 2.5 inch wrench.  No brand.  Marked Hong Kong.  Probably more toy than wrench.

Nice gets.

I don't think I've ever seen one of those all-steel chisels that didn't look like it was used to chisel granite.

That one looks like a Craftsman.  I have a few sets of them & if you treat them right, they keep an edge for quite awhile.  But then, I use a rawhide mallet instead of a sledge on them.

Yadda, you kind of fell into the same trap as me.  They say you can't have too many clamps-  I probably do, but I still continue to bring them home.  The Mac pick set is also a great find

The chisel is a Craftsman all Steel wood chisel. They came in sets of 4 from 1/4 to 1 inch.  This version has a round shaft and no part number.  Later versions had square or hexagonal shafts and part numbers.  These chisels were often marketed to tradesmen like plumbers and electricians because you can pound on them.  Probably ly explains why they often look beat to he'll.

Hello, Yadda. Great bunch of tools . The All Forged Alloy Steel Chisels were offered in a set of 4 as you said, but there were 2 more sizes . The 1-1/4" would be the same style as the set of 4 .  Craftsman also offered a 2-3/8" All Forged Alloy Chisel , but that size was ground at a double bevel.
