Keep rubbing it in,, I still want to know where you keep all this stuff, I mean even with a two car garage like mine, and all the stuff you keep getting you’d be using it as storage rather then a workshop!

Ka-bar scissors? Wiss is a good company, their all I’d use for sheet metal, what’s the wrench on the bottom, kinda looks like it has a hammer backside? Good score!

Yep Ka-bar scissors.  The bottom wrench is an Auto Wrench or monkey wrench made by Diamond Horseshoe and Tool Co.  They are often used to hammer things although the aren't necessarily designed for Hammering.

I picked up these two Eagle oil cans in an online auction.  Good users.

[MadPlumbarian]

This is the second of my estate sale buys this past weekend.  Two wood splitting wedges.  The small, wider wedge was made in Japan, the longer narrow wedge is a Husky.  Kobalt mini prybar, Irwin 900 screw starter Great Neck folding rule and Husky stubby metric wrenches.  I have a soft spot for stubby wrenches.

Nice little pry bar, is the stick ruler an inside or outside or both?

Outside ruler, yeah that Kobalt prybar will be very handy. 

[MadPlumbarian]

I just never could stand an outside, is it yellow or white, I really can’t tell in the pic if it’s faded? You should like clean that prybar up and like paint it wacky or something!

It is white.    It needs cleaning and oiling.  I'll definitely need to also clean the prybar.  Wacky paint job? Hmmmmm....

Yeah, like this, I know you have a ton of wrenches, but something interesting like these,,
JR

[Yadda]

That would require artistic talent.  I am sorely lacking in that department.     My better half has all the artistic talent.

Now there's something I've never seen before. Pretty darned cool 

[Yadda]

It was a good weekend. This was my third and last estate sale buy from this past weekend.  Brink & Cotton No. 146 six inch clamp.  Easco flarenut wrenches.  Stanley 55-033 Cat's paw and No. 68 square.  The bottle jack works. It is from Taiwan.  The hex wrench is a 17mm Allen brand.  The pocket screwdriver is Phillips frm Ace Hardware.

[MadPlumbarian]

Nice find, ooh look a disk brake compressor! lol

Six inch clamps are good for working on brakes.  I'm building my clamp collection so I can build a kayak or canoe in a few years.

I’d so love to do something like that, heck I’d love to just get into woodworking, just so limited on my able to dos,

Those painted wrenches are neat.  Nice finds as always Yadda.  There was a time when a few fellas at the flea market had tools worth looking at.  Not sure where they've gone. 

[GA1dad]

I haven't been to the flea market in a while. Decided to give it a go this morning. Wet weather had attendance at a minimum, but I still found a couple of small items. Nine dollars was spent. I really liked the box of unused bugs (flies). For $3 they were a great score. The inexpensive pocket watch is non-working, but is made in a way that it can be disassembled for possible repair. If nothing else, the locomotive on its face brings some cool factor.

Also this week I picked up a wet saw. In the next week or two I have to do a new kitchen backsplash. My original plan was to rent a saw from the local hardware store. Then I checked on "Offer-Up and found one with box and papers for $20. At that price, the heck with renting.

[MadPlumbarian]

Nice find,
JR

[Yadda]

Great buys!  Fantastic buy on the wetsaw!

[Aloha]

I hope the watch can be serviced.  Sometimes its a simple tweak/clean/lube that'll get them running. 

[Yadda]

My first estate sale buy in 2023.  Paid $3 for the lot.  The Craftsman  93558 hacksaw.  A no-name pistol grip keyhole saw to add to my collection.  A Benjamin Moore paint can key.  Two wood handle screwdrivers made in the US, a couple of US made sockets, and a wood handle nail puller.

[GA1dad]

  There is certainly $3 worth of fun in that score!
