Hit & Miss most of the day....found a few "gems" .....3 Cresent "water pump pliers" $1 each. ( can never find mine WHEN I need it) Turned down a 7-1/4" B&D all steel circular saw...even at $5...cost more to replace the dry rotted rubber coated cord...
Stopped another place...inside the shack was a tub of 8 braces....all over priced...walked out back to the "yard sale" area he had...there laying on the table ( and for who knows how long in the weather) was this $4 brace
387017
Walked back through the shack..and found this $2 item..
387018
Handed the fellow $6, and called it good...
The Brace?
387019387020
Stanley No. 945, 8". Needed a bit of 3in1 oil in all the right places...
387021
Springs are still in the chuck, BTW. Worked the oil into the joints, and it worked like new...handles got a coat of an oil stain...
Liked like one of my other braces..
387022
Because i have it's 10" big brother...:D
as for that mushroom..
387023
Need to yank the wooden plug out, and fit a new handle...
Socket is stamped:
DEFIANCE by STANLEY
No. 1251
Made in USA
And it 1-1/2" wide...
It does have a "back-bevel":rolleyes:
387024
AND, IF you look closely, you can see the edge is not straight...more of a reverse camber...corners stick out more that the middle.
Bevel side has two bevels....:eek:
Not too bad a day..not great, just ...so-so...:rolleyes:
