Title: Tool sales Sep 5 and 6
Post by: Northwoods on September 04, 2015, 08:43:48 PM

Spent the day at Sparks, Ks, and White Cloud, Ks, flea markets in extreme NE Kansas on State Highway 7.
Both sales (15 miles apart) have dozens and dozens of vendors and both have an extraordinary number of tools this year.  Some slick and clean; some rusty and crusty.
They are on the Internets and will be open Sat and Sun.
Got a nice Elgin adjustable June 3 .97.Alligator for $5.  And plenty more.

Waiting for pictures....

I've never seen an adjustable alligator wrench.  Or was that the name of the company, Elgin Adjustable?

I wish this area did that kind of sale.  We see block sales and neighborhood sales, but the sum total of what's on offer is usually not in my area of interest, he said politely.
