First Estate Sale Buy in 2023
« on: January 10, 2023, 06:56:15 PM »
My first estate sale buy in 2023.  Paid $3 for the lot.  The Craftsman  93558 hacksaw.  A no-name pistol grip keyhole saw to add to my collection.  A Benjamin Moore paint can key.  Two wood handle screwdrivers made in the US, a couple of US made sockets, and a wood handle nail puller.
You might say I have a tool collecting problem....

Not bad for three dollars.
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.

No pix, but use your informed imagination.  Was $8 too much to pay?
Sale was in Topeka; motivated seller was from Tucson, closing out a relative's hoarder house.

Two Stanley bevel guages, No. 25 in 6 and 10"
A 3/8" Firestone ratchet by Plomb
A 3/8" C-man rat VJ44811 Quick Release
A 1/2" S-K roundhead rat with a full complement of those pretty sockets
A 1/2" Plomb socket in 1/2" double line
A Proto LA 1/2" extension, 10", No. 5463
A really pretty no-name nickle-plated duckbill pliers
A 7" Shelton block plane
A 40-piece assortment of sandpaper sheets
A full pack of steel wool.
The ORIGINAL Northwoods.

Friend Nothwoods, 
I regret to inform you, that you've overpaid.  I feel bad that someone has done this to you, so I will send you $8 and a prepaid shipping label to rectify this terrible injustice.  :grin:

Oh, and I forgot to mention the H. Boker needle nose pliers.
Are they included in your refund offer?

Sure,  those  Boker pliers make your purchase even more inequitable.   :grin:
