Bucket o' tools $5 Craigslist
« on: April 09, 2016, 02:53:26 PM »
Spotted this on CL yesterday and picked it up this morning.  So much low level junk!  But a few pieces I spotted in the ad that made me buy it. 

Top of picture is a Old Forge flare tool and "Excellent" tube cutter - cheap but in a really heavy duty nice box.  In center is a mass of stamped ignition wrenches and a few sockets.  Some of the ign wrenches are Oxwall and others the angled ones with a star in a circle.  Snap-On breaker bar 3/8 in fair shape and a sweet Xcelite screwdriver with a fine tip.  The adjustable is a slightly stuck Blue Grass 8" that should clean up well.  The big pipe wr is Trimo, one of the 9"ers is Moore, another unbranded and the last has nice plating and should clean up.  The little pipe wr is Pexto and will need a bit of straightening.  In the pile of junk screwdrivers is a blue handle - that's a Stanley push drill.  There might be some bits for it in that heap.  There are some springs for Rigid pipe wrenches - at least that's what I think they are.

And you've got the pulleys to string up a clothesline in your backyard!

That's a definite "good on ya!" for $5.

In case the neighborhood scamps try to steal your clothes?

Yes, we have no buckets!  The guy wanted me to bring my own box because he wanted to keep the bucket!  I brought a container but when I got there he had everything in a good sturdy box.

Heelspur,  I am assuming Oxwall sockets actually are stamped Oxwall?   There are two 3/16" 1/4 drive JAPAN sockets, each part of a set slightly different than the other.

I am going to post photos of these sockets and wrenches.  It's possible someone might own a set and is missing one.  I have them sorted and will be taking photos soon.
