Hit a few yard sales today...next too last had a few box lots on a table...
437991
So...why would I spend $15 on a box filled with papers like this?
437992
My nose detected something else in the box....
437993
These just might come in handy...even these two..
437994
Hmm....:confused:

One sale even had 6 coffee makers sitting out on the table....none were making coffee, though...:rolleyes:

This is the kind of find that makes me think I need to inventory my tools and sit down with the kids and discuss value and prices. Nice haul!

Hi Steven,

You mention "My nose detected something else in the box..." your nose did a great job! Some of us have great noses, and some of us don't. Ya done good!

When you get out of the van, and can smell the "rust" from the street...

There is an also brand new Mitutoyo 6" pair of dividers in the pile...with very SHARP points..DAMHIKT

Score- well done! One can never have enough dividers. One for each key dimension on a project and you never have to measure or reset the dividers!

Was looking through Patrick Leach's "Tool List" for August.....has that same PEXTO 6" divider for sale......$45 or so? Hmmmm, I paid $15 for the entire box?
