So, I only spent about $3.30..
362670
$1.30 worth.....might adapt the "wood chisel" into a paint can opener:rolleyes:
The other $2?
362671
Just a pair of clamps...
362672
$1 each. I bought half of what the fellow was selling, didn't have the room for another two of these....clamps:eek:
Yep, was a tad skimpy today....

That would be the price sticker on the bag the clamp came in.....black item is the carry-cord ( lanyard) from my camera........

The item shaped like a wood chisel.....might make it a paint can opener

The rest?
362694
Stanley screwdriver might just be long enough?
"Nail puller" is by "Heller"?
Not much of any names on the cold chisel..
Pliers have a three diamond logo on them....
Yep, a bit skimpy that day....

Heller is a quality manufacturer of striking tools and farrier tools

I sure wouldn't feel bad about that $2. If those are DeStaCo clamps, they're fairly expensive. Last time I bought similar items, they were nearly $20 each.

Steven,

You didn't waste any time cleaning them up. I know I have asked a similar, sort of, question in the past, but how did you get them cleaned up so quickly?

Nice job by the way, and ya did good, based on the dollars spent.

This is what I picked up last weekend 3$ at the swap meet.
Unfortunately every weekend does not produce a home run.
