For this one, it's the wooden handled wrench. I'm still waiting for one to turn up in a cheap tool haul so I can have one in my collection. You really got a bargain with that lot👍🏻
Indeed! the rusty ones are quite plentiful around here. I'd send you one but I think the international post would make it a very expensive 'cheap' restoration! 😁 good looking Jerry can grill by the way.
So many cool tools in that bucket. It's hard to pick a favorite but I'd like to see the micrometer and dividers cleaned up followed by the taps and dies
definitely, the micrometer needs to shine again! I've already separated the taps/dies by manufacturer and a large number of them are GTD Greenfield Tap & Die that match a boxed set I have. they'll go in the evaporate real soon!
Wow Matt that was a great haul.Fantastic price,. Hard to say what my favorite tool is. I would like to see the tap and dies cleaned up i think. I like the bucket too.Good haul.
agreed. I need to come up creative storage solution for these loose taps/dies too. once the bucket was emptied I could see that the bottom was speckled with pin holes. could be salvaged or turned into a planter for my wife :)
That bucket just kept on giving. What a deal!!
it certainly was deep! the best part is nearly all of it is usable.

Wow so much good stuff. I’m sure it’s all good and can be reused. You do a great job fixing it all. It looks great.
thanks brun!
Hi Matt! That hand drill was a great surprise! I really like the bucket to!
for sure! those North Bros Yankee drills aren't too common, but in good condition WITH all the drill bits...excitement!
Lots of cool stuff, good variety. That hand drill is unique
hi Bill yah, that Yankee push drill is a favorite of mine - especially with a full set of bits!

Hi Matt, that is one helluva group of tools you came across. You must have a shop only people think about. Would you do a look around sometime?
funny you ask, I was thinking about doing something like that! my stuff is literally everywhere, I'd have to do some gathering!
