finally bought an old wrench.
« on: July 16, 2015, 08:24:52 PM »
I haven't been active here much because I really don't consider myself a tool collector. I will admit to having a lot of spares of some things, but I don't really buy tools I am not going to use or give to my son.
well today we went to a tractor show I an I found an old dogbone wrench I could not say no to. I actually find these handy when doing oil changes as I have so many different vehicles I can never remember what size they are. unfortunately most of them are metric these days.

You stand on the edge of a very slippery slope.   :grin:
You might say I have a tool collecting problem....

I will say that I have picked up a few things that I eventually sold, and some have earned me a bit of money. I will buy something for a friend or my son, or if I know it is worth way WAY more than the asking price.

Thru no fault of my own I have owned 4 sand blast cabinets and have never sand blasted anything in a cabinet. sold 2 at a profit to pay bills and lost 2 in two separate fires. if I ever buy another sandblast cabinet I am taking it home and sandblasting something....

What is the name on that wrench?  And why is there a flathead screw on the left there? 
Very different kind of wrench. Neat.

It's a slippery slope...welcome to the addiction.

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
