Garage sale picks
« on: July 09, 2015, 01:02:00 AM »
Picked up a Craftsman 2 draw toolbox with tools for $5.00
Nice brace, with 2 regular (square taper) & 2 unusual bits, (flatten tapered drive?)  a saw set, knifes, wrenches,
Hex drive ratchet set (USA) Tin snips, pliers, hacksaw & blades, Push Driver, Bunch of chisels, punches, drills, etc...
Just a little cleaning should be usable tools...

Problem is running out of room to store more tool boxes... it's a tuff addiction to live with...

What an odd mix of tools!  I wonder if the seller just threw all the tools hanging around the garage into the box to sell.

That's a gloatable price, too!

Thank you guys!!! 
Just wondering if anyone knows about those 2 unusual bits, (flatten tapered drive?)  are they for a special driver?
doesn't look like it would work well in the brace...

Sorry guys, I had to clean it up to read the markings, at 1st it had a USA socket in it, but I found the right socket for the set, marking is "Japan" 7/16" to 15/16" & smaller set 1/4" to 7/16".. found "FIX 'N' SAVE" Japan" on the holder..  every thing works great...
