Finding tools that were bought years ago --

[goodfellow]

I'm slowly starting to pack up and consolidate a lot of the tools in my garage and machine shop in anticipation of a move later this year or early next. Funny thing is that as I root through cabinets and cartons, I find tools that were purchased years ago and never actually unpacked. Today i found a complete early 2000s Craftsman SAE/Metric socket set, and Craftsman Pro screwdriver set.

Amazing!! IIRC I bought them in anticipation of Craftsman going Asian, and wanted a few USA made spares to keep in reserve. Good enough excuse I guess -- LOL

Any idea where you'll be moving to, Ray?  I remember you had mentioned South Carolina at one point.  The north Georgia mountains are nice too.

Good way to make some extra dough if you're not gonna use this stuff.

We like NC and SC -- actively looking for properties as we speak.

Good for you.
I do a lot of riding in western Virginia and NC and wish to get away from the coastal congestion.  With my daughter in Roanoke VA I may have a move in my future also.

I'm sure you can find your dream house and garage there for a decent price.

I found this new set of Craftsman screwdrivers packed in a box several months ago. It is a nice WF complete set. I was surprised to find rust spots on the shafts of a couple of driver shafts.

Good luck with moving, packing up and moving all of your tools and equipment is such a pain in the a$$. My last move in 2017 was a huge pain, I was glad it was over and I'm still trying to find some stuff. I would suggest trying to get some big plastic totes to pack up like thing (oils, spray cans, solvents, etc) and label everything. Its also a good time to clean out, if you have a can of paint or something like that that you haven't touched in years or you think it might be bad toss it.

Also #1 rule when moving in my book. Make sure you keep one box in the truck with you with a roll of TP, snacks, a cup, and couple changes of shirts.

Hell, just moving twenty miles has been a royal PITA!
