You’re welcome that guy can restore anything.
I think Alcohol, Tabacco and Firearms should be a convenience store, not a government agency.

Retail therapy estate sale #2.   Vise-Grips galore.   Also an 8mm Craftsman wrench to replace one I lost, two Craftsman screwdrivers, a craftsman 3/8 8 inch extension,  an Elephant brand 6 inch adjustable wrench and a Lufkin 656 Mason’s rule and this was the mundane stuff. More from this sale to come.

Part three of Estate sale #2.   And this is the star buy.  Spyderco Police pair in a Nite Ize Mini sheath.  Another $5. A little wear on the stainless steel scales, but otherwise no real use .  These are marked G-2 which from my research indicates they were made 1992-1994ish.  I don’t usually buy knives, but this was too good to pass up.

Yep, there is a second 1 1/4 chisel so kind of an extended set.  I bought the lot for that set.

My Craftsman just like that was my first real power tool (in other words, not a Dremel). I badly need to replace the cord, but it's still going strong. My Granddad bought it in the '80s, replaced it with a cordless drill in the early 2000s; and it sat unused for quite some time. I've mostly been using a 5/8 Hitachi for the bigger stuff, however. Got that on sale at Lowe's for $30.

Some really great finds Yadda.  Theres a lot of garage sales this weekend in my community.  I'll be working  but my partner is a pro when it comes to seeking out neat things I like.  We'll see if she scores anything.

Thanks!  There are a couple of nearby estate sales with tools starting tomorrow. I don't know if I'll get to go, but look very interesting.  :D
