Good finds today
« on: April 05, 2012, 11:53:05 PM »
Stopped at a used tool store today to find a lug wrench for my boat trailer. I saw several bins full of used wrenches so I spent about 3 hours or so picking through them and came up with the following:

39 Barcalos
3 Williams superwrenches
4 Westline
18 Thorsen
11 SK
3 John Deere
3 P&C
9 Vlchek
10 Dunlap
6 Bonney
4 Plumb
and several brands more consisting of Crescent, NTK, Indestro, Penens Corp, Armstrong, Wizard, Craftsman, Fleet, Blackhawk, Walden, Action, Herbrand and a few others. Following are some pics. I have gone through them and listed sizes, numbers, etc. but my typing is poor and it takes me so long to do it an explanation of each wrench will have to wait.

When I asked what he wanted for the lot (161 wrenches and 3 speed bars) he said he wasn't too sure.
"What would you offer?", I said $75, which he immediately said OK to, and the deal was done. Less than 50 cents each.
Why the hell didn't I say $50?

Some of you guys have been asking about several of these brands. The Barcalos and SK are what I'm currently collecting.
I'm willing to part with duplicates (sale or trade).  The majority of the others are up for sale or trade now.

If you see something you like/want/need, send me a PM.












When I got back to where I'm staying, I realized I'd forgotten to even get the lug wrench. I had to drive back and pay $1 for the damn thing.
