Stopped by the dollar a pound scrap yard this morning and this is what followed me home. A Herma No.29 18 inch pipe wrench made in Germany, a Proto 814-HD, a cute little Oswego pipe wrench, a Bonney 727, a Vlchek, and a Barcalo box end. These tools are in perfect working order and not damaged, just a light coat of rust that rubs right off, yet someone thought they were only worth scrap.
I keep telling my wife these are only a dollar a pound, and as long as I keep my purchases to under $20 at a time I can sneak them into the shop. Well, $14 here, $8 there, over the past year well over 150 pounds of rusty old tools have followed me home just from this one metal scrap yard.... ooops.
