I'm in a picture mood today. I didn't say 'good' pictures, but if you use your imagination you can see what's there. I had the deal all set for $7 dollars and then one of the other workers stuck his nose in and mentioned $10. The whole situation got awkward and these guys have treated me more than good, so I was happy to pay the 10 bucks and I know they'll make it up on another trip.

Too lazy to bust 'em out but you can see a couple of Proto Professional dbe obstruction wrenches, buried but barely visible are some old Bonney flare nut crowfoot wrenches, a big handful of assorted USA sockets and a big Ktool half drive big guy, a Proto pebble flare, a couple of rubber coated punches of unknown make, a Fuller USA stubby screwdriver, and a couple of mint condition metric Action combos for you know who if he's interested. All in all a pretty good haul, but I'd rather have paid $7. The guy that jacked my deal must have felt bad because he came out to the parking lot and told me he'd make it up to me next time. I have no complaint though, these guys have been very good to me.
At another sale, I again over paid but got the Kennedy box shown here without a speck of rust on it, tray inside and the tools shown on top for a total of $30. Call me cheap, but I'm used to doing better than that. This sale was by an older guy looking to retire, so in this case I had no problem contributing to his retirement fund. Still a good score IMO. I got a little closer to a full set of Kline USA drivers and a couple of nice Plomb pieces including the Plomb pry bar in front there. It's hard to tell but that big wrench in back is a 30mm Easco teardrop style, my collection of those grows.

I'd say you did good. The Kennedy is good.

Lovely prybar! How long is it?
Thanks. It is right at 15 inches, give or take.

$10 wasn't too bad, although $7 would have been better.

Are thoes Klein screwdrivers, I love those things.

The pry bar is great to.

Nice finds :)

And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
