I have the same Weller Soldering Kit, don't know how many years they made them but since I know who originally owned mine I can tell you that the one I have is from the 80s. For the Bench Grinder look at - Serr-Edge SK100, also Shopmate 2601T0. Fine Steel Wool & WD-40 work great to get rid or the rust and rejuvenate the paint a little on a toolbox for clear coating (of course you have to clean off the WD-40 after so the paint will stick). Love those Rolls of Wire and also I like those plastic tool holders, I have several of them loaded with tools. Keeps things right where I can see them and get to them fast. So much Great Stuff for only 20 Bucks!
I just discovered an awesome grommet trick just in the last month or two. The South Wall of my bedroom is All Glass which is nice in the summer, but in the winter completely blinds me early in the morning. So I typically put a triangular tarp up in the Summers, but the UV and the wind and salt Air tend to destroy them in one season. This year, I had found some nice wax canvas to make this tarp out of. I always use good grommets, but the first couple days they still stretch and expose some fibers. This time when I made it, I put a silicone washer on each side between The grommet and the fabric. I ran out towards the end and swapped to o-rings. If you look closely at a grommet, it's outer edges are thin and want to lay flat against the cloth. But it has a corrugation and gets twice as thick about 3/16 in from the edge. There's plenty of room in that corrugation for an o-ring or rubber washer on both sides! Granted, the one I made has only been up for 2 weeks, but I normally have to retighten everything at this point. It is still perfectly taut and we even had some pretty wicked wind storms. I never heard of the tip before, just got inspired to give it a try. I was so impressed with the result that I'm sharing it with anyone willing to listen
Always fun to watch your stuff... I have that exact Craftsman tool box. My Dad gave it to me in the early 70's when I was getting interested in mechanics. I still use it as my car box. I bought that exact Weller soldering kit, plastic box and all in 83' for 17 bucks. Still use it. My Dad built his house with that exact Skill saw back in the mid 60's. My brother still uses it. Don.
Goodness! What a haul!! Glad you were finally able to get out to one... and 20 bucks! I love estate sales! When baseball season over.. I'm gonna be back at them heavy again..lol.. enjoyed Mr. Tom.. great haul!
Those little buffing wheels work nicely on an angle grinder. They don't last that long at those RPMs, but they're a lot floppier so they're great getting into tight corners. I kind of use them sacrificially
I agree with your assessment about the electrical contacts. The little finial looking thing is a piece of a marijuana pipe of the cheapest caliber, they were everywhere in the 80s
Nice haul Tom. That last box looked like pins for lock repair or re-keying a lockset. Then you have the springs that go with the pins. That's my guess! Love that quality Craftsman stuff.
One other thing. I learned just a week ago from a TH-cam video that you can make your own tarps that are way better and way cheaper. Dude just squeezed a full tube of 100% silicone into a 5 gallon bucket of water and mixed it, apparently the silicone is water soluble. He took random sheets or old blankets and soaked them in this mix and hung them to dry. The thicker ones he dipped twice. Incredibly better than tarps! Stronger with less stretch, and because you're starting with a much tighter weave, way more waterproof. Between that and the o-rings in the grommet trick, I'm never going to buy a commercial tarp again. They are overpriced and they still don't last.
That weird peg system? You might want to look up the Festool mft-3. There's also a variant in the metal working world called a mini pallet. I'm kind of surprised there was an example that far back. Fixture table is another search term that will show you the same, it's a shockingly powerful and simple system for fabrication, perfect angles and perfect measurements every time with no tape measure nor angle gauge
That grinder is quite unusual. Usually the white Wheels are quite soft, more of a finishing grind. Because the wheels are so narrow and there is that unusual hole in the platen I would guess that this was marketed as a slow speed sharpening grinder. I think the holes are to ostensibly help guide you sharpening drill bits about 3/8 and under. Most people can sharpen the larger ones without any jig, it's a pretty simple operation. Because the guards are swept back as far as they are, I think this is also designed for touching up plane blades or chisels, holding them on a bias to catch the corner of the wheel. Does it run slow speed? Are there any locations that look like they might have held a water cup? And does it have forward and reverse?
I just have all the answers for today's videos. I have an electric vehicle, my second one. All the manufacturers offer a 110 volt charger, these usually take about 13 hours to recharge. The 220 charger that is available usually only shortens it to about 10 hours so almost nobody goes that route. If you want level two charging, they convert to DC three phase so it's hardwired straight from your panel to it j1772 if memory serves which is now the universal charge controller. This would be sort of the equivalent of about 480 volts, not really cuz it's DC, but it will typically recharge on EV 80% in 20 to 25 minutes and 100% in just under an hour. These figures represent sort of an average of the EV options under 50K
Nice Haul Tom. I've got an almost identical grinder but it's badged Kmart, in bright orange. That last kit with springs and pins looks like a re-keying set.
@@TomGunnTools My $.02 is it's way too big for the kitchen. The one you have does have a color scheme that would match 60's kitchen decor. Mine doesn't have that handle, is it after market?
Just because they are usually used for 220 doesn't mean you have to. If you have a dedicated extension cord for some purpose, perhaps outside, this might be a low-tech way to prevent electricity theft
It's a serious cheapskate maneuver, but when in a pinch, I've put a Schrader valve on a can of spray paint to repressurize it. Works way better with CO2, I think the oxygen starts the paint curing. I don't know for sure, I have not done experiments yet, just a few attempts in a pinch that worked
Lots of good vintage stuff. Grinding wheels and wire wheels, excellent! You're right, hard to find American made, the best. Leviton electrical is awesome. We joke about the name, Leviton, "Leave-it-on". Subliminal message from the power company? Those magnetic tool holders are excellent quality compared to imports. Great haul Tom.
The fitting is made for a particular grease nipple but that's not important, they can and are swapped very often. You might be sitting on a gold mine! Alemite is the only company that made a pressurized oil gun, it looks very much like a grease gun, and other than the handle looks exactly like yours. Old grease guns aren't worth anything, BUT if yours happens to be one of the pressurized oil guns, those go for six to $700 all day long. They are very desirable for manual Machinists. Those of us who have machine tools at home often have tools that fall in between having no maintenance capabilities and having one shot oilers with manifolds. So almost all of us have to start the session by oiling 30 to 40 spots on the lathe. The old-fashioned drip oilers you have to wait and add three or four drops and wait some more, etc. I don't know if they weren't discovered until long after they were out of business, I have no idea how the State of affairs came to where it is. But if you have an alemite oil gun, it's big money. Even not working or missing a part or two, they are still over $500. I hope it's not just a grease gun, good luck! Sorry this is kind of long, I stumbled into this score myself about 5 years ago so I always tell people since
Your skilsaw should work reasonably well at 10 amps. I'd highly recommend getting a thin kerf carbide blade. They're much sharper, as well as being thinner, therfore the motor doesn't need to be as torquey. The "Freud" brand "Diablo" series are the gold standard and go for about $10. (Last I bought one, they may have gone up a bit.)
Those old strip magnets are great. Extremely strong and heavy duty. I've got one exactly like yours. You did well to find a half dozen. The new ones aren't anywhere near as powerful.
I'm pretty sure you we're paraphrasing and got the whole memo, but because there is so much potential danger, I just wanted to clarify the statement for any viewer. Old grindstones are dangerous. They contain many substances you don't want to breathe, blah blah blah, but more importantly, the old binders are nowhere near as good and they can break down over time. You don't want the 3 lb chunk of grinding wheel coming at your head at 4,000 RPM. So the trick is just as he said, pop them in the oven for 45 minutes on the lowest possible temperature. This is what I wanted to be specific about. Once they come out of the oven, you want to put them on a flat surface (as flat as you own) and let them normalize for a minimum of 24 to 48 hours. Of course balance the wheel the first time you mount it. If you're going to store grinding wheels, old or new, it is best to do so in a warm dry place with not a lot of change, wherever you store your welding rod is likely a good spot. The one thing I think worth adding involves diamond or CBN Wheels. We all know that everything you breathe in the shop gives you cancer and it gives you 10 fold if you live in California. I think many of us have made our peace with that. Diamond and CBN are not the same, they deserve the utmost respect. These are neurotoxins. You're not going to have a cough for a few weeks, you're going to feel fine and then drop dead 3 days later, or close to it. It's stupid. It's a stupid way to die. Use an active ventilation. When that dust is in a full vacuum bin, it's not any less dangerous, treat it with respect. An atomizer or a cool mist system spraying water is a great thing to have when transferring this material. I assure you, I'm not a very safety-minded guy. This is not hyperbole. You will die and it will hurt the whole time. And now that you know this, it will be your fault as well.
Hey Tom, That kit at the end with the little spring and pins is for rekeying locks. See BoasinaBill (ret) videos th-cam.com/video/3PWh8M9mvFY/w-d-xo.html Great haul!
Mr tom I truly appreciate ya thinking of me.. but I have a dz of those..😊 you certainly need a that chalk.line inthat mobile tool box.. it be perfect addition if you dont already have one..

That’s all really great information. I’m going to look into that bench grinder, was very curious. Thank you!
Thanks for the information RB, interesting grinder
Like you, I too have really grown to like estate & garage sales. The old Craftsman tools are the best and highly desired. Nice score!
Thanks! Appreciate you watching
I like the sound of this deal !!!! I can carry alot !!!! Wow what a great buy everything was . Well down . Love the toolbox !!!!!!
Lol, was a great deal!
@@TomGunnTools you always get great deals !!!!!!
Holy moly that’s a lot of stuff for 20 bucks. Nice haul Tom.

Hi Tom! Lots of great stuff there! All hidden gems, The best deals come on the last day but not much to choose from... Thanks!
Yep last day is a double edged saw.

plastic tray of pins is use for locks, I think.
Yes those pins are used for re-keying locks
I thought the same myself.

Think your right Doug. Appreciate you sharing!
All that for $20!? Can’t beat that! That cutter tool made in Hungary definitely looked like a fabric cutter to me.
Perfect for my shop rags. Hope all is well Cody!

Thanks Tony, always appreciate you watching.
The Skill 537 circular saw is worth at least $50.00 (with the blade). The grommet set will come in handy for camping equipment repairs.
Hi Michael, good call on the grommet set.

Hey Fernando, thanks!
Great haul Tom! You always find the good stuff. It’s fun to dig up treasure that everybody else overlooked. Take care 😃👍🏼

Great video, thanks

Great haul Tom 👍
Hey Lila, thanks.
Nice Haul Tom. I've got an almost identical grinder but it's badged Kmart, in bright orange. That last kit with springs and pins looks like a re-keying set.
Mick in your opinion is that grinder meant for kitchen or shop use?

I bet most places, that cloth sheathed wire would be out of code.
I'm suprised the buffing compound was not all dried out.

Nice Haul Bud!! Can't go wrong with a Weller, how many Watts is it??☻
It says 140/100 watts, I just assumed all models that size were the same? Definitely feels well-made by the weight of it.
@14:45 I believe that is a fabric cutter.
Thanks!
I think that is a Kmart bench grinder
20 bucks for all that great deal easp the Nissan grinding wheels worth that alone
Thanks Buddy!
I thought that little box at the end is for lighter restoration.
