Good scavenging weekend!
« on: April 22, 2013, 07:03:12 PM »
Had a pretty good tool scavenging weekend! Managed to score a Proto 5450 at a pawn shop and a Mac AT and Engine Oil Press Test kit off of Craigslist. I paid $5 for the Proto by talking them down due to surface rust and being frozen. I brought it home, scrubbed the rust off with a wire brush and oil, disassembled it, cleaned it thoroughly, lubed it with assembly lube and reassembled. Works like a charm! I paid $10 for the pressure test kit. It shows no evidence of having ever been used, and includes all the fittings.  Just figured I'd share with ya'll!

Nice tools, what size Proto Rat is it? 1/2" the handle looks long.
