Went not expecting too much due to the sale bill, as it was mostly overstock windows and doors from a lumber yard. Apparently no one wanted a lot of the windows, as a new Anderson 30x60 went for $7.50. And interior doors were going for about the same. That left a lot of bidders hovering over a rerlatively small stash of tools. Old Crasftsman wood lathe went for $22.50, but the stuff I was interested in went for a lot more than I was swilling to jump on. I ended up only walking out with 3 wins; a semi-cool set of Proto deep wall 1/2" drive sockets in their original metal tray, a nearly complete Challenger(by Prorto) 3/8 and 1/4 drive ratchet and socket set metric and SAE, and a flat of Craftsman screwdrivers with some Klein tools hidden in the bottom that a few bidders missed.
It's amazing how many of the empty holes in the Challeger's plastic case I was able to replenish with stuff from all my pawn shop raids. Didn't get them all filled but the fun part was the digging I guess.
Also finally got around to cleaning up the humongous S wrenches I snagged at the Aurora Auction the week before . One is a Billings and the other a Williams.The Williams is over 21" long.
