Nice haul, Tony!  :tu:

Alf Mate, It's a Swiss champ but the blades are very stiff beat up and dirty  :dwts:

Definitely exciting!  That Clamp is really sturdy looking. Is it marked? Another Footprint, always a nice find. The King Dick wrench is also a nice addition. Those spot lights are always handy.

I haven't see any name on the clamp yet and the Hella spotlight is going to become a project I think  :salute:

Are the Maglites LED or incandescent? While solid, I stopped buying the incandescent ones. A: I can't find the bulbs locally, and they blow on me once a month and B: they're dim.

The Maglights were four pounds each I don't know if that was too much but they are new old stock with advertising and incandescent bulbs   

Great selection of knives. The two SAKs should clean up quite easily.

They are quite battered but I knew that when I bought them 

Every time I see "King Dick" on a tool, I have to giggle. Dunno why.

Which is the reason I bought that one!  :D 


Nice lights. Hella is a pretty good brand.  I'm looking at something similar to fit a Ford F-250 I'm looking at buying. Granddad had bought it new in 1989, sold it to my Dad in 1998 (we'd just bought a new Dodge Ram 1500), who in 2004 sold it (as he'd just taken delivery of a 2004 F-250 he'd special ordered) to a neighbor. While my Granddad and Dad babied the truck (and it still looked new in 2004), the guy it was sold to, and his adult sons made a mess out of it and tore it up. Dings, rust, body panel damage, ugly decals everywhere and dents are the main problem.  That's why my spending limit is $2500 (which is very lowball).   A rack (from a wrecked power company truck) was mounted to it behind the cab; and it does have mountings for two work lights and a beacon.

I have a project in mind for the lamp, it's really well made, heavy and chromed  ;)

I thought it looked like a Swisschamp, but since you didn't mention it, I thought it wasn't... silly me  :facepalm:

Went to the flea market today found four SAKs and a Craftsman multitool for 20.00. The mulitool  has a broken main blade. I think it was maid my Bear and son?

The 45201 is, in fact, a Bear and Sons. I recently got one--far better than any modern Bear Jaws I've handled, even though it still has the typical quirks of Bear's "agricultural" build quality (namely drivers that are unfinished at the bottom. Wonder if Bear and Sons would have a replacement blade for it?  I do have a spare Bear Jaws, but it's got the locks, meaning the blade won't fit.

Nice assortment of SAKs. Liking them all. Especially that Mettler Executive. And at $20, you did super well. I've seen a guy be firm at $20 on a beat up SAK that wasn't worth ten .

Thanks, Sparky and Cody someone poured something in the Hiker I got tools to open but I can't get them to open right. I tried hot water then a good soak in oil. The good news the tools look like new. I am going to take it apart and clean and polish everything and put it back together.

The two things I am happiest about are the clamp (very well made and strong)
and (very top left) the Hella 12v vehicle mounted 'hunting' spotlight  :woohoo:

Chip,
Yes I had to re-shape the blade a little as 4 or 5mm was missing (Great steel and everything but a little brittle) from the tip
added a lanyard hole and added a 'nail nick'  in the handle  :tu:
