I managed to get to this mechanics estate sale about 10 minutes before the EARLY rush hit, so, was able to scan through a bunch of pull-drawers and garb things that looked different or special. here's what I got. A couple of German tools and several tools I think would make any mechanic happy. I know I am!
that adj. wrench is fascinating. bob w.
Nice choices, I like the adjustable filter pliers.
The piece that looks like a tap holder, does it ratchet like a Yankee driver?
Yes, the ratcheting tap wrench is just like a Yankee drive - only smoother! I'm wanting to drill some holes just to tap them with the new tool. ha-ha!
Those 90 degree snap ring pliers cuaght my eye.....but they're all very cool.....gotta love getting first dibs!!!! I know it makes me feel like I have canary feathers in my mouth.....lol

a very good find. The little box end ratcheting handle bottom center, came with 3 bits, round shank, will fit around many philips screwdriver shanks. Probably find it in the Mac catalog. Those big oil filter pliers are very interesting.

Those struck me, too. After chasing snap rings that leapt off regular editions, these look really desirable.
that snap ring tool is for the wheel cylinder clip on 80's GM's

Well I'll be. Never would have thought if that.
I grabbed it because it will take replaceable tips and figured it could be useful with disassembling ratchets and bike hubs.
Those are all very nice, I like all three ratcheting screwdrivers the most
The 2 ratcheting screwdrivers are missing the cap on the end of the handle, and one will have a very hard time getting replacements.
I love that ratcheting tap handle!
