Estate sale battery tools and such

[bmwrd0]

A couple weeks ago, I went to an estate sale on its last day, as the ad said that there was still a ton of stuff and it had to go. Well, it was a good day for crap hunting (as my wife calls it.) Along with a bunch of misc. sockets and wrenches (couldn't let those go to the scrappers) I picked up some real gems that I couldn't believe were still there. This was probably the most interesting thing I picked up:


Its a little too brittle to roll up, and the snap doesn't quite work, but,

Then again, its probably 70 years old now. Also picked up this lamp:

But after cleaning it up and putting on a new plug I was able to test it, and it worked fine. Makes a good lathe lamp.

Also dug this up.

Cool stuff -- the lamp is top quality. You should get some good use out of that.

Nice grabs there. Nice blowtorch.

Great grabs and that lamp was worth saving.

This is my third Dazor, and I have as many Luxo's, which are just like them, including a magnifier. I am getting used to rebuilding them as they make great work lamps. Unsurprisingly.

Here is the rest of the stuff I got:





I ended up paying $22 for everything.

cool stuff...


how big is that flare nut socket?

[bmwrd0]

The flare nut socket is 1-13/16". It is one of the ratcheting kind made by TAC/Proto. Soaking it in JAFE juice when I get the chance.

I love me some Blue Bird tools, and have a few too. Battery maintenance just does not have the frequency that it once did. Gawd, did things get crappy in a hurry back in the day.
