[Nolatoolguy]

Great haul.

Your making me have the urge to go to estate sales again....and that's not good.

Saw a sign for one yesterday and this morning but passed it up, cause that thing called money.

[lauver]

ken W,

It looks like you had a very good day.  Lot's of useful tools and misc. bits.

Well done. 

[dimwittedmoose51]

Great score!
Somebody really knew their tools, whoever your benefactor was.
Its funny, you can tell practically everything about a guy rooting through his tools after he's dead.

  Those two short tinsnip type pliers are jewelers snips. High power for slicing off strips of silver or gold like nothing else.
  I never saw bent adjustable needle nose before, ever! 
Anything marked vacuumgrip are quality goods.

The long Buck brothers is a sash mortise chisel. Not a common pattern of chisel.

Keep buying those chuck keys! I had to break down and buy some new ones recently, and I ---did not-- like it! I keep a stash too but the one I needed was not there.
     yours Scott

That's the first pair of Vacuum Grip chain nose I've ever come across. I'll post a pic of all the chuck keys I've collected.
