Woodworking Forum / Garage Sale Buy 12/7/2025
Last post by Yadda - December 07, 2025, 09:33:44 PM
It's been a while.  Estate sales have been slow for me.  Plus vacation and work have prevented me from getting out to sales.  This weekend there were no interesting estate sales nearby so I checked out  a few local garage sales.  I bought these woodworking power tools at a neighborhood garage sale. The buy included a Pro-Tech 9-inch band saw, a Rockwell Versacut, and a Dremel 4200.  All are in good working order.  The Dremel and Versacut include their manuals.  Total paid was $25.

I saw this item many years ago, it is a metal forming tool for making caps, here is the description from the patent:

"The object of my invention is to provide a simple and cheap tool for crimping or swaging the rim of a sheet-metal cap upon the hanged mouth of a can-spout as, for example, the spout of a varnish-can..."

I agree with IPTOOLS. Down through the years I have sure wished I had some.
