Title: Flex head adjustable
Post by: fatfillup on August 14, 2018, 03:25:34 PM

Picked up this flex adjustable last spring or so at a sale.  It was sold as choice from about 10 adjustables sitting on a table.  Can't remember if I got first choice but I know I paid $3 for it.  Could have gotten it cheaper maybe but it is such an odd ball I didn't want it to get away.  It was rough, locked up and rusty but a little time in Evaporust and it is good.  I have never seen one before .

Evaporust, a fresh pour in the Tupperware celery container.  I don't think I wheeled before either.

First for me . Surprised Craftsman didn't latch on to that for their Christmas special.

Pretty cool. Did you get the hammer that had been used to beat it as well?
