Title: Junk store good goodies
Post by: amecks on June 21, 2014, 08:05:21 PM

I've been wanting to go to this "junk" store that opened recently.  And man is it full of junk.  It's like everything from every auction that didn't sell.  Some furniture, tons of books, records, even eight track tapes.  Very few tools, but I found these.

Imperial Eastman set (missing the tubing cutter) in a rusty but serviceable box.  My other set is smaller and doesn't have the tool for the larger sizes.  And I have a tubing cutter.

Tool for setting glazier points. I once worked in a glass shop and always watch for glass working tools.
Spent $8.00 including a set of 2" caster wheels I need for a project at work.

Oh yes! The original design that works every time, not the cheap copy
that misfires 2 out of 3 times...:)

$8..hmm....the new stupid one costs $40 if I remember correctly

Working hard towards that suck award aren't ya ;P

Bought a new real one a few years ago.   Seems to me it ran close to $80.

Good find with the original case on the imperial flaring tool.
