I hit a couple estate sales this weekend.I made out pretty good. I don't get there until mid day after the insane people who run thru the house and push people out of there leave.I found most of this stuff under a bench that nobody bothered to look at.I'll try to post some close up pics in the correct category.

Wow! Makes me wonder what was there when they opened.

I've done good at those estate sales, call em tag sales often.   If the house is big, or well packed, can usually find things the first comers miss, but you did real well!  I see all sorts of things in those pics that I would gladly haul home.

At least one wheelbarrow load there for sure.  I just wish they'd sell that stuff by the pound and be done with it!!!  Easier checkout for the tag sale gals.....  great hauls BTW..

That cigar box was just filled with obstruction wrenches and some really unusual wrenches.I'm slowly sorting them out. I got some Vacuum grip pliers as well.

Huge fan here of the vacuum grips.  Nice find.  Happy sorting :-)

The ONLY "by the pound" sale I've seen in six months was wanting $6 per pound for Craftsman.  I didn't whip out my calc-foo on the set of tools, but it seemed very high.
