A Thursday Shopping Spree

[dimwittedmoose51]

Taking the advice of my cohorts here, I went back to the pawn shop and found the culled NAPA sockets;12 of them and a Thorsen and an SK.  Price was still .10, so walked out of there for $1.50(Photo #1). 

The yard sales were pretty slim on goodies, and the interesting stuff was way over priced.  I found an old Craftsman Tool box for $3 and a Wood handled Stanley wood chisel and a really long version of what I thought might be one of those things you stuff tire plugs in with, but something on that didn't seem right.  I'll dig it up and post later in the week.  The trip to the other pawn shop down the street was the big find today.

Photo #2 has the tool box and the wrenches that they sold me for .50 cents each. 
New Britain NDF-208
P&C 2536
Snap On OEX-34
Williams Super Wrench  1171
WGB    DIN 895
SK  33026
Challenger 5428
Crescent LC-32

IN addition, they had hundreds of nearly new C-man sockets and hand wrenches that likely could've been had for a quarter a pop.  May go back just to stock up before this fall's big sale.

Photo #3 has everything that was a quarter each:
5 C-man oldies
3 Challengers
2 Fairmonts
3 Hex Drives
11 Huskys
Row 2:
6 Indestros
2 Krauters
2 Mustangs
Row 3:
16 SK/Waynes
2 Williams
2 Wrights
Row 4 has all the singles:
The first 3 need some ID help,starting with a socket with an SW-933-D on it from Dayton Ohio, the 2nd one has a CD-1220 on it and the 3rd is a knurled 1/2" drive socket with the 25/32 on it.  following that we have a Fleet, JC Penney, Mac, None Better, Penncraft, Powr-Kraft, Proto, Snap On, Trutest, and a TRW.


The right side of the photo has a 1/4" Proto Drift, a Wards Master chisel and a Klein slot screwdriver.  then we drop down to 14 Craftsman wrenches, some of which are pretty dated, a Metcoid, a Proto DBE #8182, and 3 SK Waynes.

If any of these might fill in sets you've started, let me know what you need before I put all this in storage.

As time and finances alow, I'm tempted to go back to pawn shop #2 and snag more of that C-man stuff.  Maybe not all that collectible, but certainly sell-able to the general tool/yard sale community.

A  lot of the C-man stuff is only a couple years old and much of it virtually in new condition.  Likely many repeats. IIRC, more SAE than metric.  I already have a big stash of odd C-man stuff, so maybe I should inventory and see what we can swap for.....PM if you please.....and I will go back and see what sort of deal I can work out should you want to participate in this financially too.
