Title: $45.00 box lot all Craftsman except one s-k
Post by: coolmercury on April 23, 2019, 06:06:10 PM

Bought this box lot last Saturday at an auction of a guys tools (he was there).  Twenty pieces including the spinner and only one not Craftsman, the s-k push button ratchet.  About half is =v= Craftsman and everything is in fine condition.  Was at least 50 guys there and apparently none was aware of the value of the spinner.

Nice score you got there. Everything looks in really great shape and a very nice price for the lot.

Haven't cleaned them at all, that is just the way they were in the box.

Those spinner ratchets go for crazy money -- if you're at an auction where people are familiar with vintage Craftsman tools.  Great get!!

What an investment for that price.

that was probably worth the price  without the spinner in there.

I don't recall ever seeing one of those Craftsman speeders before, I like the shape of that handle.
It reminds me of the handle on a palm bit ratchet I used to have.
