Estate Sale 5/25/2024
« on: May 28, 2024, 05:56:07 PM »
I bought the tool lot for $15 and the drill bit and screwdriver lot for $5.  Most of the bits are American made.  A little soak in rilust remover and they are ready to fill in spots in my drill index sets.
You might say I have a tool collecting problem....

In the first photo, what is that next to the garden shears in the upper left corner?

Looks like a telescoping magnetic pickup.

We have a winner.  One of larger ones I've seen.

Hello, Yadda. Nice finds, once again. What do you think the pickup/weight capacity is of that magnetic tool?

I think it is an 8 pound magnet with a light.  More soon.

May have started out like this one.
battery is also now a collectable.
32" extended   8" retracted

Those bench pucks are also extremely handy.

27 inches extended.  It has a light, but no battery.  No idea if the light works.

You can go to your local Radio Shack & pick up a new type N alkaline.  Mine still works, although slightly yellow.  I've always taken the battery out when not using it to avoid the corrosion.  Battery is actually readily available.
