schnitz,

From the looks of your recent haul, you have very diverse tastes in tools.  What are your main interests?

schnitz,

It's kinda hard to gauge my overall interests.  I guess one could say I'm open to tools that interest me.  A good chunk of what I find is just old and in need of a little TLC.  When I find something else that interests me, I part with whatever tool less.  Right now, it's pipe stuff.

Schnitz,

  I saw a Stanley router/power plane in the box very similar the ones you show in your pictures.  Kinda cool, but I am trying to keep what I collect to be tailless (cordless hand tools). 

   I used to subscribe to an old tool file server years ago and they called any tool that you had to plug in a "tailed apprentice."  I love the expression.

Square threading dies, very cool.  Makes a guy wonder how they even made that middle one there, with the square relief holes..?

Yep - get it daily - if not a couple of times per day on occasion.
