You said haveway decent turnout of vendors, I say an awesome turnout, I've never seen a full set or close to a full set of 8 point sockets offered at any sale I've ever been to.  Very good find you luckey bu%^&*.

Hello gibsontool. The sockets actually came from the same guy that I buy from every week, the other vendors were a bonus!!

Halfway decent turnout of vendors this morning!

Those 8pt sockets are a very nice find that are not often seen as a set. The beauty part of those being a set like that can sometimes be found dirt cheap. I found and bought an old set like that from a pawn shop about 30 years ago very cheap since they were 8 pt. I have used several of those sizes through the years and never regretted my purchase. Very well done indeed!

Those two big like new wrenches in the back caught my eye. Followed by the 1/4" ratchet wrench. Who made those?
No matter how much you cut off, it's still too short
