Oh wow. I need something like the one on the right to squirt fuel directly into the carb of neglected chainsaws.

And is that a lawnmower blade balancer?

Some for the toolbox I'm putting together for my teenage daughter,,, some for my toolbox,,, some for my tackle box. Have you noticed how expensive drill bits are now,,, and locks too. Based on the cost of just those, I'm thinking my budget of $40 was well spent this weekend.

Is that a solid brass handle on the nut driver? Bet that is kinda hefty!

The micro-driver set I bought this weekend was for a specific project I had to do. Dang old chrome book won't run unless it's plugged in. Needed to open it up to access the battery for a changeout. I guess even if I never use it again, I got my couple of dollars worth out of it now.

Not solid, but still quite hefty.   I'll post some more close ups.

You'll probably find more uses for it than you imagine.  I received a similar set a few years back.  I use it 3 or 4 times a year.

B&D mouse sander I picked up a few weeks back.  It also came with $20+ in sanding pads.  I spent $5.

Well the kid and I went out garage sale hopping, and well, he only got one thing, me on the got a few little things, I got,
1, pack of zip-ties, $1,
1, very nice hockey stick to make into a hiking stick, $2,
And 2, 6” Ridgid pipe wrenches, $1 each! I talked her down! So a total of $5.. I just put the sak up to show size,,

The kid on the hand only found one thing, a IRobot Roomba, original price $20 but the kid talked the lady down to $15, the Mrs had the biggest smile on her face when she saw it, we cleaned it all up and let it charge, and sure enough after a while we tried it out and well, it works! Oh the Mrs is freaking loving this, look at how good it did in the living room..

Kennedy 520 Machinist toolbox.  Picked it up at a garage sale.  It was the end of the day and they made me an offer I couldn't refuse.  Once I clean it I will show a before and after.

Another garage sale buy.  Everything in the tote was $40.  Price per piece was less than a dollar.  Craftsman, Penncraft, Sears, hand made table saw jig, 10 Chinese 4 inch clamps and 6 American made 3 inch clamps.  And a grinder jig for sharpening tools and more.  Plus a drill chuck key for the Jacobs chuck I bought last week.
