Belated Gloat

[Michael Lutz]

In February I went to an auction of a local tool store that went belly up and won a few bids. All the merchandise was for new items most in their original packaging. For $33 I got the T track, t-track accessories, and the plastic T-molding. For $44 I got all the microplane items (25 in all). For around $300 I got the fein Turbo III and the accessory kit. I also won some finish and brad nails for $44, but my finish nailer can't use the 3 boxes of 1" nails. I waited to post this until I had pictures, since if there are no pictures then it didn't happen, right!:D

The T-track is all for use with 3/8" bolts, but all the T-bolts are for use with 1/4" track, go figure. The lots of stuff were crazy. A lot of 71 assorted Freud router bits went for $450. Many of the power tools went for 80% of what you could buy it on Amazon for, some even went higher like 10 to 20% higher.



Thanks for sharing my gloat,

Mike

PS if anyone has use for plastic T-molding send me a PM.

Very nice haul!

[J.R. Rutter]

I love those Fein vacs. Nice score!

[Paul Johnstone]

I really like the microplanes as well. That's a nice score. I have 4 of them, and I use them more than I anticipated. I like them better than files for taking "just a hair" off something.

Micheal, Thats great, I love having accesories and lots of them. I have always wanted to try one of those Fein vacs...

[Don Bullock]

Nice haul. Congratulations.

Gotta love it when theres no buyers remorse the day after the auction. Way to go!

[Michael Lutz]

Ben,

No buyers remorse except for the brad and finish nails. There were 8 boxes of 3/4" brads which i can use but will probably last for a few decades and the three boxes of 1" finish nails aren't long enough to fit in my finish nailer.
