Just got this

[john k]

Stopped at a resell shop last week.   See some bargains there on occasion.   Mostly furniture and household but this time I really came out on top.  Off to one side was a Black & Decker Workmate folding bench.   Looked good so checked it over.   When I turned it around  saw that it was a first series with the aluminum crossbrace.   this thing had never been used, not once.  never sat outside, the boards on top were smoother than my kitchen table.  Now I already have one, but it sat in someones backyard for at least a year.    Also have a little 200 model, that I use a lot.  And some others that I won't mention.    So I bought it,   think it was $15  well spent?    Also been stopping at the Habitat store,  and recently came up  with a Perfect Handle screwdriver,  a Proto 7/16  war finish wrench,   and a Milwaukee Sawzall.   The Milwaukee has been lighty used,  plugged it in,  quiet gearbox,  I blew $20 on it.   Got to quit  stopping there.

Great buy on the Workmate, the aluminum cross brace models are the best, and are getting harder to find.Regards, Lou

Great buys all around. I never see anything worth buying at our local Habitat restore.

I'm a sucker for the Restore.  Have found some great buys there.  An old Stanley swiveling miter box with a 23" blade Disston saw for $3?  Yes!
Last week, it was two larger Plvmb DOE, a Plvmb DBE, a NASH #3 DOE, a Brooklyn Williams DOE, a nice Gooddell push screwdriver and this nice Wakefield stamped DOE for $10.
BTW, Bridgeport sold the same wrench.  I wonder who made the both of them.
