Thanks Tony! Trying my best to keep the rust content at a consistent level round here.  :D

Made a fleamarket run today, and did quite well. First off, let me say that every trip to the fleamarket starts with a stop at the ATM where I withdraw $40,,, (two  twenties). Today I got all this and returned home with one twenty still in my wallet.

Schrade Walden #825 Stockman $3.00
Fishing lures $1.00 each bag
Solar G Shock GR-8900 $5.00
Fossil watch $1.00
Two 20 ft. telescoping fishing rods $2.00 each. ( will be used for amateur radio antenna deployment )
Crimpers $1.00
Blue extension cord to match the color of my toolbox at work $1.00
New In Box (old stock) Igrill2 $3.00 ( will be used when I do BBQ cookoffs )

Craftsman sockets (V, VV, G), screwdrivers, punch and
Chisel set, and clamps.  Empire speed square made of steel with what looks like gray japaning. Nicholson 4 on hand file, Fuller file,   and 3-way C-clamp made in Japan.   Two of the Craftsman screwdrivers are almost 17 inches.

Good variety of tools. I don't reckon I've ever seen a 3 way clamp, but can sure think of a few times it would have been handy.

I picked up a few things today. The big score is the Blackstone outdoor cooking table that I got for $20. Really looking forward to using this.

I'm putting together a toolbox for my 17 year old daughter to keep in her Jeep. I found her a standard wrench set and an adjustable wrench for $5.

The balance went to some fishing lures, a reel, a box full of assorted treble hooks and a cool courier/laptop bag evidently from a Zac Brown Band tour. I had been looking for a bag to carry to the fleamarket to put finds in,, this one will be perfect. The guy who sold me the hooks explained that customers bring him lures to custom paint and upgrade the hooks. These were the brand new original hooks that he took off the lures. There must be 150 or more of them.

One of the tools that was sitting in that toolbox I got but the kid tried taking I took back, :neener: but this thing was totally seized up and it had orange paint all over the handles, so I hit it with a little “liquid wrench” I’ve always liked it better the wd40, but I worked it in a little, then sprayed it all over the joint and let it sit in a little trough I had overnight, so today I went down and that thing open and closed like it was new, I cleaned it up p, took some elbow grease but I got all the paint off of it and gave it a little shine,, nice piece!

There I finally brought in the channel locks, they need a little clean up to get that whatever that little goop is, but heck to dig through a old tool box and find a few tools names I’ve never heard of but I’d rather have them old ones, only this those needle nose, they have no name?
I’ll also have to take a pic of the robo-grips, kinda like a pair of channel locks but self adjusting, I had a small small pair but found a larger so now got two diff sizes!

Here I told you I’d take a pic of the robo-grips, there like brand new, I left the small ones on my desk and the kid would walk in and just reach for them and use them like a stress ball as he walked around then put them back as he left,

Craftsman Flying V 3/8 drive ratchet with sockets. This will clean up and look great.  I oiled it and it sang as it turned.
