I am trying to wean myself of going to estate sales, at least when I have cash on me, as I am pretty well tooled up but I saw an ad for one that looks like it might be worth checking out. It was run by a company that I don't really like as they are tool anal for my tastes; expensive, they put stuff into weird lots that don't match and they tend to clean everything before the sale so I always get the feeling that good stuff gets tossed. But, the ad said there were a few Snap-on chests, a craftsman chest, loads of tools and guns. So, I didn't go and stand in line but went a couple of hours after it opened.
Holy Cow! There were tools everywhere, of all types and quality levels. The crowd was thinning out when I got there, but there were a lot of good deals to be had. Still a huge pile of trash, but the whole thing was worth it. This is what I picked up:
PowrKraft socket set, Snap-on terminal block set, Stanley saw set in box with papers, Fulton ignition pliers set (one missing but had been replaced by Vacuum Grips), Snap-on TML70A, Starrett 174 tap wrench, Craftsman RHFT flex, and a Fairmont body spoon. First day, morning price of $42.
As I was leaving I checked out the free/trash pile and among the distributors and coils, empty boxes and sheet metal, I found this:
A KRA series side shelf. A little rusty on the edge, like someone spilled battery acid on it, but it should clean up just fine.
