I have the exact same craftsman toolbox without the bottom rust. Mine still has the red top tray. Recently tapped out mom’s stuff of the dents and cleaned it real good and painted the outside original silver/gray and the top tray red.
The two Grants items, peaked my interest. W.T.Grants was a department store chain, that went out in the late 60s, maybe early 70s. They may have had a store line brand of tools. Never came across any, myself, but the name took me back. The store was in Chelmsford, Ma. For three bucks, you got quite a haul! Thanks for taking me back, to a time long gone!
I bought a set of Craftsman tools in a box like that which also came with a tray. This was back in the 60’s . I still have them although several of the sockets are cracked. I could have exchanged them for new ones but I waited to long.
Easco is a Mfg in Arkansas. They made the Craftsman wrenches, among others for other companies! My brother’s father in law was an engineer for them. Great find!’
Not much there that a good soak in Evap-O-Rust wouldn't solve (including the bottom of the toolbox)! Great Buy. Those old Craftsman ratchets are easily serviceable - definitely worth more than the $3 you paid, just for that.
Sears didn't make their own tools. The letter markings help identify who made it and when. I think the "v" is for Easco - probably made in the 1970's or 1980's.
Not To Sure But You May Have Found A Tool Kit My Daddy Put Together For Me...Back When I Was a Kid...I'm 68 Now...But, Lots of those Old Tools Sure Look Familiar. Really Fun Remembering. I Know Of Three Times Tools Of My Daddy's were Sold...And These Sure Look Familiar. OBTW.....Any of Those Craftsman Tools That are Unusable...If You Can Find a Dealer ...They Should Replace. God Bless
Love it. Those 'push drills ' are actually Yankee screwdrivers and certain ones are worth a few bucks. Nice haul. I've done the same thing many times. You never know what you'll find. Great video
I like the little wooden handle screwdriver, the pruning sheers, and the C clamp lol I'm a clamp fanatic lol...Great buy !! I can't wait to find my next bucket of rust !! And I like the metal box ! Have done a couple lately but trying to figure out a way to keep some of the patiena..
The craftsman combination wrenches paid for the entire box 10X nice score. The floating fulcrum pruning shears are my favorite. Very vintage and cool. I’d like to see them restored and cleaned up.
My favorite is the C Clamp with just a bit of patina on it. Mrs. Magdad did a great job in spotting this as there is a lot of tutorials in that box. Do you plan on restoring the box? Thanks for sharing this haul, you did a great job in buying it.
I think you found the sister to my tool box find. My Craftsman tool box was found in a pile of branches at a lake house in Maine. Considering the weeds surrounding the tool box it had been outside for many years. The contents were similar to your find. Twelve inch Riggard pipe wrench, twelve inch Crescent wrench, Vietnam era military pocket knife, various Craftsman wrenches and sockets, etc. I saved about half of the tools (some too far rusted to be safe again). I can't help but wonder how someone would lose a complete tool box full of quality tools, left to the elements in northern Maine. I enjoyed your video.
I saw a Craftsman tool box sitting in a driveway at a garage sale. It had 10 or so drawers. I asked how much and the lady said $5.00. I whipped out 5 and bent down to pick up the box and couldn't move it. She told me she had a dolly if I needed it. I got the box to the back of my truck and a man from across the street saw me struggling and walked over to help me load the box. He said she must have had someone just put the box out because it wasn't there a half hour ago. He told me the Lady had caught her husband and was selling all his stuff while he was at work. The neighbor had bought guns, tools, and lots of stuff for a hundred dollars. The Craftsman box I got was full of high dollar tools that were all like brand new. Cordless tools of all kinds. Air impacts, drills, socket sets, everything imaginable.
I had an opportunity to acquire a 3 month old TroyBilt tiller for $100 in a similar situation. I passed. I couldn't bring myself to participate in such nastiness even though I knew someone else would get it anyway. No pleasure from someone else's misery.
There was a store called WT Grant kind of like a Sears not as good but they had tools with their name on them. They had about 1200 store’s but went belly up in 76. That was a great find your lucky man
Great haul ! Id like to know who the maker of the clear and black striped handle screwdriver is i know they made them with several brand names but the first tool i bought off the tool truck was one... I was 19 and still have it lmao but the end is worn out... i may try to fix it one day?
I was buying Easco tools from a local independently owned auto parts store ( when we still had them) to turn wrenches on the '61 DeSoto I owned at the time, now some 40 years later I still have, and use these tools along with many others. I buy every Easco I see at the flea markets, they have stood the test of time. You will find some with the NAPA name on them that otherwise look like any other Easco, and they did make some tools for Craftsman, but these will look like any other Craftsman wrench except for the codes. Evaporust will clean all that up, I paid more than three bucks for the last V series Craftsman 1/2" drive ratchet I bought, didn't need another, but it was all alone on the table with an idiot who let it sit out in the rain.
Great tool haul. I liked everything but favorites were the stillson pattern pipe wrench and the ignition pliers. Also looking forward to seeing how the jack knife turns out.
If you have just ONE ratchet item that still works, you got ur money's worth. Still plenty of life in a lot of those items. The tin snips and secateurs are always handy things to have around. I'd be more than happy with that find. Clean up what you can and tidy the box up and leave it in the back of a truck. You never know lol
Well worth the 3.00. You have your daughters Christmas presents all the pokey things LOL. I like the pocket knife love to see how it turns out. I have a pair of the JC Penny pliers. A good buy just for the fun. Stay safe and healthy my friend. Thanks
Your wife got you a great deal. I bought a toolbox just like that back in the 80s from a Sears Outlet Store for 25 dollars. What does the V Stand for? I give a thumbs-up to your video and find. Are Craftsmen still being made in the USA today?
Thanks for watching Thomas! V series Craftsman were made by Easco from 1968 to 1986. I think all Craftsman are foreign made now. A factory in Texas tried to start making ratchets and sockets again recently but closed due to pandemic supply chain problems.
You have got tbe the luckiest guy in the world getting that box of tools for 3 dollars I couldn't buy those here for under 100 dollars . Just 1 rusty ratchet here is about 30 dollars. If I had those I would wash them in soapy water put them in a plastic tub put 4 gallons of white vinegar in it and 1 container of salt let them soak for 2 days wash them with sos pads dry them oil them and bam new tools. I've been restoring rusty tools for over 45 years now like that.
I have four tool boxes like that three of them came badly spray painted. This spray paint came off with lacquer thinner. Different stores for each. Gave $8-$12 for each if I remember. A couple have the socket tray still.
I thought the Pruners said Made in Poland but after a closer look they say Made in the USA "Pat Pend".............You never know where the rust came from when they're jammed together like that, most of the rust on that Knife may have dripped off of something else and it might clean up better than one would think..........I had a thread gauge like that, it confused me how it was cleaning up like new then I figured the rust obviously came off something else.
That was awesome!! I can’t believe I watched the whole video. I’m a bit of a tool nut myself and recently cut the cord. This was way more entertaining than anything on cable tv. Thanks for putting this out. Hope you follow up with the restoration video. It would be cool to see how some of these tools come out.
I'm glad you watched the whole video Lou! If you like old tool restorations, I have a lot of videos I think you will enjoy! Go ahead and cancel your cable!
@@357magdad I found a cigar box once that was crammed full of machinists tools -- a taper gauge, inside/ outside templates rulers of all sorts. Feeler gauges in metric and SAE Lots of stuff I don't even know what they are for. The lady was only asking 5 bucks for the whole box. The taper gauge alone is a Starrett, probably worth 75 bucks alone. A good find
I found a crecent wrench in a coffee can that was apparently full of water at one time. A lot of rust but after wire brush and a little elbow grease and oil it now adjustable and don't look bad, in fact it's usually the one I grab first when I need an adjustable wrench.
The two pruners are at both end of the spectrum for gardening. One is a bypass pruner, and the other is an anvil pruner. GREAT video. Are you going to try to refurb everything? I'd love to see that video!
Get yourself an old storage tub or cooler and put a couple of gallons of white vinegar in it. Drop those rusty tools in there and let them soak for a few days till the rust is gone. The vinegar used to be about $4 a gallon at Walmart but don't know now. Cheap and effective rust remover. After that some WD-40 and you're good to go.
I've been looking for a 1-1/16" box wrench to dedicate to my table saw and you just pull one out of that box. Clean them up and you have some gems there. I call that a box deal. $3 for a box deal is good. And yeah you did good with that one. Some crap and some keepers. I knew that was a Kamp-King knife right off the bat. I keep one in my shed for opening bags. They're actually somewhat collectable.
Your bent screwdriver tip looks like a paint can opener. Maybe it was manufactured that way because tips tend to snap off unless they're heated. Heat doesn't do plastic handles much good.
Bargain! Lots of pokey things for magdaughter to have a stab* at and a couple of rocks for Chuck to perch on. Should make for some interesting videos. Looking forward to seeing them. *pun most definitely intended : )
For $3, that was a good deal. Just the Craftsman ratchet more than doubled the investment. That's one of the best models Craftsman ever sold. Just a few days ago, I found myself wanting precisely that ratchet. My dad had one when I was growing up. He took good care of his though. Lol.
I am 72 years old and I have my father’s push drill. It’s an excellent condition it’s about all he ever used for years. He is born in 1917. If you can get those drillbits out of that push drill I would love to have them. Let me know if I can buy them from you
I’m not sure about the Dunlop. But the down step from craftsman for many years was Companion. Which they are actually great tools. I have many companion made in Japan pliers that I have inherited. Great high quality tools
Bought yourself a lot of time consuming work projects for $3. Have fun. The cheapo perfect condition screwdrivers were house-use and tossed in as an afterthought.
I have a video out on the Craftsman ratchet. The video of the floating fulcrum pruners is coming soon and I'm working on the Kamp King pocket knife for #norustnovember2021!
Thanks for watching! Vinegar does work, but I like using Evapo-Rust. Check out how some of the items from the $3 tool box turned out: th-cam.com/play/PL2LUCgmdqpXOKe7fWYo_2fTNEZ_QHkMDi.html
LOL, it's amazing you have the United Nations collection of wrenches. At 3$ I think it's a bargain, your wife is a keeper my friend.
Mrs Magdad is the best!
Back in the day you could have taken that ratchet craftman to Sears and would change it for a new one?????Miss those days....
I wonder if there are NOS kits still floating around for these?
I have the exact same craftsman toolbox without the bottom rust. Mine still has the red top tray. Recently tapped out mom’s stuff of the dents and cleaned it real good and painted the outside original silver/gray and the top tray red.
I think I have two similar craftsman boxes now - both missing the trays.

Thanks for watching Michael! Keep an eye out for replacements at yard sales.
Craftsman is lifetime warranty😢 the quality is not the same😂 you should still be able to change cracked sockets for new ones😊
Ponies thing is an awl
Great haul for $3. I'm a fan of the hand drills. Be sure you're up to date on your tetanus shot. 😀
I'm also a big fan of push drills! I hope I can get that No 41 running again!
You are molre likely to get tetnus from broken glass in the dirt than from any rusty metal. Tetnus can not survive rust.
Easco is a Mfg in Arkansas. They made the Craftsman wrenches, among others for other companies! My brother’s father in law was an engineer for them.
Great find!’
I think the v series Craftsman that came out of the box were made by Easco.
They made the sockets for Craftsman, too, at one time, I think.
Good vid but Pleasssssse stop calling them pokey-things there called probes or awls and yes I enjoyed it.
Thanks for watching! You missed the memo - Magdaughter renamed that tool! th-cam.com/video/fDRz-ddVQsw/w-d-xo.html
I went to a yard sale and bought an old box of Ferrari and Lamborghini manuals for $ 5 dollars. I sold one of the manuals for $ 700 dollars.
Impressive!
I can’t wait to watch you restore some of the cool stuff from this. The knife, the plumbers wrench, the push-drill. Let’s do it!
I did a video on the Craftsman ratchet and a video on the Floating Fulcrum pruners is on the way!
Fulcrum cotter looks like it is a poly irrigation pipe cutter and the action will cut it well. Not a pruner!
Nope it's a pruner. I found a 1967 Life magazine ad for it. Clean up video coming soon!
A little tiny yellow handled poky thing got away from you on the left.
Basement flooded or the toolbox was filled with water. Good eye Mrs. MagDad. Nice score. Favorite ten is the knife. Bet it's made by Frontier.
It's like a stream ran through it! The Kamp King is very popular with viewers!
Ignition pliers, pocket knife & of course thee wooden handled screwdrivers. When you gonna do-em?
The pocket knife is coming soon! I've got a couple wood handle screwdriver projects lined up for this winter!
You got a BUNCH of little treasures in there!!!! Good Eye Mrs. Magdad 🇺🇸
Mrs Magdad knows what I like!
Not much there that a good soak in Evap-O-Rust wouldn't solve (including the bottom of the toolbox)! Great Buy. Those old Craftsman ratchets are easily serviceable - definitely worth more than the $3 you paid, just for that.
A video on the Craftsman ratchet wrench is coming very soon!
I would start by restoring the box lol
great price for all of that
I've got two of these boxes now, both missing the trays.
@@357magdad Then pocket knife it is
Ya 3 bucks one ESCO wrench worth that looks like most of the 🔧 well Worth the price
It was worth the $3 just to rummage through the box!
What does the 'V' indicate on the Craftsman stuff?
Manufacturer code.
Sears didn't make their own tools. The letter markings help identify who made it and when. I think the "v" is for Easco - probably made in the 1970's or 1980's.
JC Penny, Wahoo! Thanks for sharing...
There was some cool items in that $3 box!
I did this once and got sick for a week, must have had a pile of germs in it. Dud wash your hands!
If I was allergic to rust, this box would have put me in the hospital!

Wao!! 3.00 dollars? very good !! I will pay 3.00 for just the tool box....
Mrs Magdad found me a great deal!
Big pipe wrench? That's a small to very small pipe wrench.
Pipe wrenches come in all sizes!
Think the pipe wrench is a Garrity

I saw the name and immediately thought of the Dukes Of Hazzard!
How much for the craftsman wrench 1-1/4” box end wrench?
Thanks for watching! They are sold.
I think the owner stored these tools right next to the broken sump pump in the basement.
We had a bad storm that year (Ida).
More than your fair share of patina there👀😝😀😀😀😀😀😀
If rust was gold, I'd be rich!
Hey Magdad my favorite part is that box and contents is in your shop and not mine😀 can’t wait to see the patina fly!!
I hope there are a few good projects videos in that box!

Junk 😂😂

It would probably work on hose, but it is indeed a pruner. Video coming soon!
My guess: somebody worked on irrigation systems.
The toolbox definitely got irrigated!
the 15/16 box wrench lawn mower blade bolts size lol
I only use an impact gun on those.
Chuck better get to Flitzing.
I hope we can get something cleaned up enough to Flitz!

Nope, it's a pokey thing!

That plastic sleeve in the beginning, was the case for the screwdriver handle and bits. It rolled up, and snapped shut
It might be!

The Craftsman ratchet wrench video is coming very soon. The Floating Fulcrum will be early November.
At least $3 worth of pokie things
There were some interesting pokey things in there!

The two pruners are at both end of the spectrum for gardening. One is a bypass pruner, and the other is an anvil pruner. GREAT video. Are you going to try to refurb everything? I'd love to see that video!
Check out my video on the Floating Fulcrum pruners:

"Patina in the Air"!!! xD xD that would make a good tshirt :) my nose started to itch just seeing that xD
Chuck sneezed a couple times!
Get yourself an old storage tub or cooler and put a couple of gallons of white vinegar in it. Drop those rusty tools in there and let them soak for a few days till the rust is gone. The vinegar used to be about $4 a gallon at Walmart but don't know now. Cheap and effective rust remover. After that some WD-40 and you're good to go.
I've used vinegar with success. I am a fan of Evapo-Rust also.
I've been looking for a 1-1/16" box wrench to dedicate to my table saw and you just pull one out of that box. Clean them up and you have some gems there. I call that a box deal. $3 for a box deal is good. And yeah you did good with that one. Some crap and some keepers. I knew that was a Kamp-King knife right off the bat. I keep one in my shed for opening bags. They're actually somewhat collectable.
You never know what you'll find at the next yard sale!
All the fun of just looking through the box was worth $3 at last. My favorites were the small wooden handled screw driver and the ignition pliers.
It was fun going through the box with everyone!
Your bent screwdriver tip looks like a paint can opener. Maybe it was manufactured that way because tips tend to snap off unless they're heated. Heat doesn't do plastic handles much good.
Could be! Thanks for watching!
I like the J C Penney's baby channel Locks. There's something cool about small tools.
Thanks for watching!
Bargain! Lots of pokey things for magdaughter to have a stab* at and a couple of rocks for Chuck to perch on.
Should make for some interesting videos. Looking forward to seeing them.
*pun most definitely intended
: )
I hope to get at least a few good videos out of that box!
For $3, that was a good deal. Just the Craftsman ratchet more than doubled the investment. That's one of the best models Craftsman ever sold. Just a few days ago, I found myself wanting precisely that ratchet. My dad had one when I was growing up. He took good care of his though. Lol.
The Craftsman ratchet wrench clean up video is coming soon!
I am 72 years old and I have my father’s push drill. It’s an excellent condition it’s about all he ever used for years. He is born in 1917. If you can get those drillbits out of that push drill I would love to have them. Let me know if I can buy them from you
I have spare bits for the Yankee push drills. Send me an email.

I’m not sure about the Dunlop. But the down step from craftsman for many years was Companion. Which they are actually great tools. I have many companion made in Japan pliers that I have inherited. Great high quality tools
The Dunlap line of tools first appeared in the Sears catalog in 1937 and was replaced in 1941 by Companion.
Bought yourself a lot of time consuming work projects for $3. Have fun. The cheapo perfect condition screwdrivers were house-use and tossed in as an afterthought.
I have a video out on the Craftsman ratchet. The video of the floating fulcrum pruners is coming soon and I'm working on the Kamp King pocket knife for #norustnovember2021!
All that rusty stuff you can bring back to life by soaking in vinegar. Might take a day or two but it works.
Thanks for watching! Vinegar does work, but I like using Evapo-Rust. Check out how some of the items from the $3 tool box turned out:

I enjoyed the cam fire knife and think it will clean up
Is this the knife you are talking about?

If it was me there would be a years worth of projects. Looks like we will have stuff to look at when you are done. 🤪👍
I'm hoping there will be a few good projects that come out of this box!
Try using white vinegar to remove the rust ! A lot cheaper than Evapor-rust.
Thanks for watching Larry! Check out my playlist of projects from this tool box:

Eastco is one I'm going to start putting to the side. Seems like an under-loved company. tHanks for the video
Thanks for watching!
Keep the box and toss the rest. I will take them off your hands for a small removal fee.
A lot of good projects came outta that box:
