garage sale booty
« on: July 07, 2011, 08:17:32 PM »
I over paid but the deaf ol' boy 'couldn't hear my offer' and his cute wife wasn't about to translate. He said he was getting too old to use his tools anymore. That always melts the heart. If I were rich I'd have given him more. I don't think I really gave too much, it's just not as good as I usually do. Oh well. Here they are:

I don't know what kind of ratchet this is, no markings. It looks like the handle was modified with the sleeve you see, which is hollow to about 1/3 the way down. Must have bent or broken the handle. Anyone happen to recognize it? Probably a TPOS.
And the rest, some additions to my =v= collection. A big Billings Life Time breaker, extension and a couple of sockets. 3 Lisle torx sockets, the sockets and extensions on the left are Indestro Super, which I was glad to get, sk and cman extensions next to them,  a handful of Cman wrenches and a 1/4 breaker in the middle, a cman and a sears ratcheting off sets, a generic driver, Klein needle nose, Cman vice grips and a few Mac, SnapOn, 1 giller and 1 ratcheting Proto crows feet and the dirty little sack they came in, and way at the bottom a thread file. Not bad for a work day. The sale was about 30 paces from my parking spot.

Sometimes I hate you folks.  Just kidding!!!!!!!!...... it's been a while since I've found a good buy on anything. My dad still has my brother and I beat on our eternal "road kill quest"  ---- shiny stuff on the side of the road that we feel complelled to pull over for..... I think I've told you, dad is the King. He managed to dodge through a major intersection to retrieve a tool --- a FREAKING SNAP ON RATCHET!
Looks like a good find,
cheers, bird

Yep, you were "screwed!!!"   My brother and I are still trying to compete for a "road kill find" better than dad's snap on ratchet...... I don't think it's going to happen!

I think only the 306898 number is visible on it. I'll look at it again to see for sure. The seller said it is the sack that the crows feet came in but they are Proto, Mac, SnapOn and Giller; so I don't know which ones he was referring to. Does the sack look familiar to you?

Correction on the number on the sack. It's 306808.
