Screwdriver work? Looks nice, the handle looks like it could use a little touch up, but nice find!

Yes, at least the ratcheting works. I haven't had time to check it out fully.

Friday's small estate sale buy.  The fun finds were the Perfection Nut Cracker and the Roll-a-Ruler.  Cool finds include a pristine Stanley 199 utility knife, a Stanley 58-011 Self Centering Nail Set, and Italian made poultry shears. Round it out with NOS jigsaw blades and hardware.

Edit: looks like there will be a shop cleanup this coming weekend. I won't be going in on Saturday (I have a $10 off at Meijer coupon that will not be going to waste), but I'll be in on Sunday. That could be an opportunity to treasure hunt. :D

First estate sale buys of the new year. These Indestro tool boards were  an unexpected buy. Interestingly, there wasn't a single Indestro tool in the garage. I have a few Indestro tools, but don't collect them.  They aren't perfect, but they are in good shape considering their age.

Oh dang, nice score, never heard of the brand but that would be a nice way to store the amount of wrenches you find!

Indesto/Duro made a lot of inexpensive tools and were early adopters of importing tools made overseas. However, they also made quality tools here in the US and also made contract tools for other companies.

This is the small goods from two different estate sales. In the second photo. Mostly oil, brake fluid, and cleaners, two rusty Williams Superrenches, and a Roe 752N 6 ft tape measure. The little oil can was made in Italy. In the first photo, tools include a Stanley Handyman H1275 keyhole saw, a Millers Falls 369, 3 inch aluminum line level, a True Temper  Little Giant transfer shovel (not shown), and and a Rosco Torx driver.

Nice!  :tu: I soooo wanted the Stanley 175th Anniversary tape measure, we were even going to the store to get one when it came out yet something came up and we turned around, thus after that the shelves were cleaned off and never could find one,, yet I did find this one, I don’t remember when,,

Friday and Saturday estate sale buys. The big buy was the Justrite Safety Can. Lots of additional goodies.

Great score on the gas can. They sure don't make them like that anymore.

Actually, they do and in different sizes. I was surprised at the price.  I paid $10 for this one. https://www.amazon.com/stores/Justrite/page/3D9CEC5B-B0E3-42D2-B078-B277381AA3FB?ref_=cm_sw_r_apann_ast_store_3WTC3XKV6AJ9QB4AXVDE&store_ref=bl_ast_dp_brandLogo_sto

After spilling half of one of the new "environmentally friendly" cans several times, we ordered one of the older style ones. Naturally, after using the other one a half dozen times in a year, I've only used the nicer one once in like five.

Saturday's estate sale buy.  Craftsman 11 inch F style adjustable (monkey) wrench (44491), Vise-Grip 7R, Craftsman chain pipe wrench.  Craftsman regular and deepwell sockets, a few Snap-On and New Britain sockets, two vintage church keys, a very rusty spoke shave, and the big buy, a Swiss made Zyliss multi vise.
