Yesterday, went to 3 garage sales, 1st one found a; $2. SANDVIK 220 Sweden. Hacksaw & a $5. THOR U44 1/2" elec. drill..

Then went to another & hit the Jackpot!! they were selling tools, 4 for $1.00, everything in 5 cardboard boxes.. so I bought $5.00 worth of tools..  20 tools! Nice tools! and 4 knifes for a buck..

4 Japan knifes.. they cleaned up nice & sharp!
4 cutters, & A wire crimper, round nose, little plier, channel lock..
2 Stanley push drills with all the bits, & small vice grip, Bit driver..
2 large screwdrivers, PLVMB 1/2" Ratchet, M.Klein & Sons 8" adjustable.
a Japan folding saw, 3/8" GTD Tap & Handle, Riggers knife, & a Briddell Crisfied 8" blade cleaver..

I felt guilty, but the old grandma was happy to sell the tools to someone that could use them..
ended up helping her rearrange all her tables & organizing her stuff to make it easer for people to look things over..

Last one got 2ea. 3" wide, 20' long webbed rigging straps. & window squeegee & mop still in original packaging.. all $5.00

She said that the family already took 3 boxes full for themselves, so this was the leftovers, basically all the Old Tools! they didn't want.. 
Go figure?..
