Went to some estate sales....
« on: September 18, 2022, 11:07:27 AM »

Some Craftsman Sockets with the V logo, feeler gauge set, some spark plug gap tools

The little black tote, a sprinkler tool to get the broken off riser pieces that is handy and a little c clamp

a pennen wrench, scraper tool and some torch cleaner tools

Craftsman channel locks

Three cornwell wrenches(10mm, 12mm, 14mm) , a 'superwrench' and the end of that pennen box wrench

Little rockler clamp

The w in an oval on the "superwrench"

the v logo on the same three sockets

Those things I got for $12

then we got this ladder for $40




and the wood scraps where sitting to the side of the house and they wanted $10 but I negotiated em down to nothing for just taking them so they didn't have to move em again. got some plywood squares, some dowels and other assorted cut offs and some quarter round and other trim. Mostly crap but Ill try to use some for things and burn the rest.

Judging by this stuff and the pix for the sale I missed a bunch of good stuff I didn't need.

Our one teacher at tech school would always give us a hard time when we called them "feeler" gauges. "They don't feel anything, they have no feelings!"

I do the feeling, the gauge just provides the precision.

My dad called em feeler, therefore, I call them feeler gauges. Just like the gas axe and bull prick. I knew what to bring when it was asked for. Haha

Elroy has always referred to them a feeler gauges. If one wants more a accurate name then Elroy would suggest it's a PTG, precision thickness gauge  :spam1:

We called them feeler gauges because you felt if they caught, or saw if they were too loose.
