I wish I had some good salvage yards near me, none of mine around me let people go out to the cars and take things off. They never have the exact parts I need because of this.
Cool haven't seen those in awhile I used to have the buffalo tools harmonic balancer puller kit I stripped and twisted alot of bolts so it ended up getting replaced with craftsman USA made set and then the big bolt that threaded into the center of the puller got stripped and then the bolts got thrown in with a great neck set I picked up and then that one disappeared right along with the craftsman tools and screwdrivers, pliers,chisels and punches out of my truck so now I have a abn set that is in a big case that latches together nice looking harmonic balancer set
Those buffalo tools harmonic balancer sets were cheap and quite handy pulled several Buick 231 and SBC harmonic balancers and several steering wheels still have the puller and big hub bolt on the tips, but I have lost the assorted bolts for different threads and lengths..
In general, how well did tools from Buffalo perform? I’ve seen an owned several tools from that brand, but have nothing to compare with based on age. It seems they were very popular and I never come across broken tools in that brand..
@@MidwestToolReview honestly I would have to say fairly decent for the price, most of them took quite a few years of use and quite a bit of abuse also very impressive for what I paid for them.
I'm going to be changing things up soon. I have a truck box to put behind the cab of my S10. So I'm thinking about getting one of those cube type tool kits to put in there to cover the basics. But it's winter in Iowa so I'm not in a huge hurry to do that transition right now in the wind and cold. lol My salvage yard lets me drive right up to the donor trucks anyway so I can get my whole truck pretty close.
Thank you. I have a good deal of SK. Funny enough, I just picked up a set of 3/8” drive standard length sockets this morning. I’ll have a photo up on my Instagram account if you’re interested
9:40 I too am opposed to segregation. I have a tool box, as shown cluttered in a recent video, that is going to be swapped out for a larger more spacious apartment for my box wrenches. Somebody was talking about sockets that are double marked....7/16" & 11mm. I wonder if that is becoming more common. I have three sets of tools, the master set in the garage close to home, the satellite set in storage, and the very top end small stealth set that rides with me. The satellite set is made up of yard sale and roadside finds.
I’m gonna find me a KR 53 one of these days ! Lol those darn happy kids laughing and playing, what the heck ? Ha won’t bother me if you have some happy kids in the background James, just solidifies my opinion of you …
Lookin.........blackhawk is being discontinued i hear. You mentioned you recondition your fv 71. I have one. It's former military and nobody wants to touch it how did you go about that?
You take that to the junk yards? Wow! They said CP was the tool addict. He said " I'm fine, It is Midwest Tool Review who needs an intervention". Boy oh boy, was he right. When the scrapyards see you coming they run out and borrow tools because you have a better portable set than they have at their benches.
Man those deep swivels are sweet. So is the box.
Very complete and compact...very nice. I love these old snap-on boxes. I have a 1980s craftsman 10 drawer chest that is packed.
Nice all around set especially for metric setups
Yards in my area,Have one that is no pick and pull.They have the parts already off on the shelf

That a slick set up! Great video

Nice toolbox
I have a simple bag.......My family always said I was simple - so it seems fitting.
I finally found one of those snapon toolboxes and I have to say its perfect for what i will be using it for
Awesome setup 👍

Good stuff man. You really are a old school tool user. How come NO SK TOOLS. Both of you are from the Midwest. Keep the vintage going!!

There is a LOT of redundancy in that box. nice to have if you have the strength to carry it all.
I’ve since retired that box like 2y ago…
That guys has way too many tools. But that’s fine
Wrench racks would be nice but I don't think they all fit in drawer of how many is there
