The weather is finally clearing up and the yard/garage/estate sales are starting back up again. So its the time again! Haul Thread!
You know the rules: No new stuff, no foreign stuff, don't post unless you have a picture.
The following pictures are about a months worth of stuff. A little here, a little there and then a ton of stuff yesterday (Saturday March 19th). The Craftsman carpenters box (the big one) set me back a princely sum of $10. It includes the tray and the original wooden support for the lid. I got the smaller Craftsman at the same sale for $6, also with tray. I also got the Pony pipe clamps ($4 each), Craftsman (OEM Millers Falls) eggbeater drill ($6), 50 ft.measuring tape ($3), new, unused Irwin expanding bit ($3) and new in box, still sealed Craftsman Kromedge router bits ($8) at the same sale.
At another couple sales I picked up the Stanley corner clamps (1 steel, 2 aluminum), Vice Grip clamps, and a Channellocks fencing tool, the flex chaft tool w/ Jacob's chuck and a 1/2 inch Craftsman chuck.

Next up is this beautiful Craftsman top box that the previous owner painted tomato red with a rattle can. On a related note, anyone know how to get spray paint off of decent paint without ruining the decent paint under it?
The large clamps are J.H. Williams, the smaller ones are Cincinnati Tool Co. Paid a buck each. Dremel 100 ($3), Craftsman 'Yankee' screwdriver ($4), Stanley Yankee ($2), Stanley push drill ($2), Supreme Versamatic (2 for about $5) and a Supreme Versamate ($2), mortising machine chisel ($1), Craftsman ratchet extension (forget), Stillson pipe wrench ($5), Easy Driver ($1), Omega caliper ($1) and a small new looking grinding wheel ($.75). The measuring tools in the back are both Starrett.

Old, old, old Craftsman dado set. Its complete and even has its original dirty paper. Not much of a deal on this one as its about the price you would pay on eBay bit it is like new inside.
>>965009
Like new.

With a name like Climax I couldn't pass it up. Didn't hurt that it was only $2.

Nice work lamp.

And finally, the crown jewel. A nice blue Simonsen toolbox. $15 and it included everything inside. The ratchet is unbranded but seems well built, if of a very old style. Almost all of the sockets and accessories are Montgomery Ward 'Speed Master' brand. It seems these may have been made under contract by Wright Tool and Forge, which is still in business and still made in the USA. They are all rust free. I'd say 6 or 7 of the pieces in there are made by other manufactures (mostly Craftsman).
Mostly garbage.

dazor lamps are neat. i got one with a broken mount for a buck. i gutted the old fluorescent wiring and put in an led array.
tip: don't take apart the upper swivel, it'll never hold the same again.
>>965009
good haul.
i got a few boxes of new/old potentiometers (100+), multi-kv capacitors, a bunch of servos for ~$10

Some of their stuff is acceptable. Mind you, it's all shit that even Chinese slave labor can make without issue, like hammers. If it requires a power source of any sort (gas, air, electricity,) fuck it.
>>965563
Im actually surprised by this, but I have some of their air tools that have been sitting compltely unused in a wet garage for 20 years in extreme cold and heat and the damn things still work.
The impact Ive been using doesnt even have a name, it just says taiwan. fucking sketchy but it just werks.
>>965266
Hey, some of their stuff is alright. Like their pneumatic tires or heat shrink tube if you need it in a pinch.
I also picked up some 'titanium nitride' bits, and they worked well enough.
>>965563
their resharpened carbide pcb drill bits are nice (30x assorted sizes for $7)
>>965750
Wait, the bits are good if they are resharpened? How would one even do such a thing?
I might get some then.
>>965754
diamond wheel i'd assume
they work fine in a harbor freight drill press heh
no problems in FR4 glass fiber board, steel too (carefully)
