The Tool Thread

The Chrysler tools are cool

 

Picked up these 6 wrenches today for a grand total of $1.00.

 

I can't see them :-(

 

If you want to pay $10 for random single name brand tools . Wee need to talk I have a few!

 

Awesome score

 

Picked up this set of Craftsman pass through sockets, the case was dirty but the tools look virtually unused.

 

^Nice! I've always wanted a set of those if I found them for the right price.

 

I found a set in a pawn shop several weeks ago, it was missing the 3/8" ratchet (~$18) and a couple of other bits and they wanted $40. I can buy a new set locally for $55.

 

Nice find

 

Not often I need pass throughs but when you do you wish you had them!!

 

Here's my newest tool hoarding obsession - old hand planes. I figure if I want to use any of the wide live edge slabs that I've been making, the best way to flatten them will be to learn to work them old school.

I got a few for Christmas and bought a few more on ebay. Course they need to be real sharp so I got the best tool for that too.

- Birmingham #7 jointer pre 1900
- Stanley Bedrock # 605 jack owned by my grandfather
- Stanley #110 block NIB
- Stanley #9-1/2 block x2
- Stanley #65 low angle block

 

im reliving my past ,sold most of my planes and a friend sold my tormek for me on ebay ,its nice to see someone with the same interests,have you gotten a granite plate or something to flatten the soles ? of course you can use your tablesaw top also ,i hope i dont start wanting to get back into this ,if i do its your fault curry

 

Yeah I went with a tempered glass plate system from peachtree.

Yeah this site is kind of the opposite of a hoarding support group.

 

Wow these really work great unclefess - I can see why you used to like them. I was mistaken the other day when I said I didn't have a jointer yet - I've got an old no 7.

I've got a new project cooking, and I wasn't sure how I was going to be able to joint some of the pieces flat. Took me all of two minutes to figure that out.

 

That is a very nice looking plane Shawn Curry. I would really like to get one like that.

 

Yesterday's haul, everything you see for $10. There are 58 Craftsman sockets in the group along with 42 no name ones. Also a couple of Bernz O Matic torch tips, a Weller soldering iron and 2 Nicholson files. There was a Mac screwdriver in the box when I first opened it up but apparently the guy rummaging the tool boxes took it when I went to ask the price.



I have a large box of Craftsman sockets, time to put some sets together.

 

I have a large box (40+) of mostly vintage 3/4" drive breakers, extensions and sockets if anyone is looking.
