I thought it funny that it had $29 inside on the paper card. I have a set of snappy Allen sockets so these will probably never see use. If I was offering it would have been less. I picked up a one gallon gas can with old style spout for $2 to balance it out. Wife loves those kind of sales. The lady riding heard over the sale said that at 3pm when the sale opened there were several guys who went straight upstairs to get this old guys model airplanes and helicopters. And bought em all in about ten minutes. He was a colonel in the marine corps. Sad his kids didn't want the stuff but I guess ya can't save it all. I'm sure my kids will bring in one of those giant dumpsters and pitch most of my stuff in when the time comes.

Yeah, I'm starting to wonder where my tools are going to end up. With no kids or worthy relatives or young friends to pass them on to I'm thinking my best bet may be donating them to a technical training school.

The only way you will control where your tools go is to put it in your will/trust etc.  Many auctions I go to make me feel bad when I see how little someone's tools bring.  I just found out an old friend left no will (even though he told me he was leaving his tools and equipment to a nephew).  And, next week the state is auctioning off all his stuff. >:(

^^^^^^Lot of truth there.  If your stuff is not in a will or trust, the state will say where it all goes.

Pix I promised. Looks like someone "dressed up" the jaws but I think they will work.
