« Last post by amecks on October 11, 2025, 09:10:59 AM »Stopped here Thursday but had no time. I saw some bargains but nothing I "had" to have. But I stopped after work (about noon) Friday and was able to root through the boxes and buckets of tools.
Top Left...Tool kit with flashlight, Craftsman and Stearns clamps, Lathe wrench, Clobemaster small chain wrench, Zim valve seat grinder, brass wire brush - (why is it ound?), amazingly tiny vise - hope to repair using one of above clamps, Continental 25254-E (tires) wrench/tire iron, "Tappet Adjuster Wrench Sccrewdiver And Nut", Champion Dearment cutter/puller - (Is this for horseshoe work?), The unusual angle wrench has a badge style marking, and the multitool - (is this for fire hydrants?) = "The Fyr-Fyter Co. Wooster Brass - WS20" - (it is iron not made of brass).
Tool box with K-D 126 test light, Vaco crimp pliers and numerous fuses and light bulbs.
This truck was in a free scrap metal pile at a second hand store along with a large stainless steel "can". The truck may end up as yard art. Still pondering its fate.
