Thanks, I am gald to have been able to save some of this gentlemans tooling, I donated what I didnt have space for or time to mess wtih, There was so much more I wish I could have saved but it just wasn't practical and I couldnt get it all. The entire situation was sad and unfortnate. As you said I was happy to save what I could. Cheers and thanks.
This stuff is pure gold dude, if you had to purchase this find new you'd be looking at $1000. I live to find this stuff cheap at garage sales and estate sale. Some of this you can't even find anymore, it's not trash!
Every mans tools consist of a few they have bought and a lot that have been handed down or acquired from markets auctions or charity shops. They all have a functional value, an aesthetic value and some times a money value. They are to a tradesman or a maker or doer like jewellery is to a fasionister or princess or wannabe. They all deserve to be respected , and used or passed on to those who will respect or use.
I’m always envious when I hear prices of tools in USA…. if I’d found that brass hammer, I’d genuinely be over the moon. The prices in Oz for tools are ludicrous
Cool, This gentleman had about 5-6 of these homemade long toolboxes. I didn't realize that Plumbers made them for their tooling. Makes sense. I could see them being useful for longer carpentry tools as well, Like Squares and levels etc. Thanks for watching.
Don't throw those beaters out. They're great for putting in drills and mixing cans of paint. My favorite out of it all is that brass hammer. That's beauty.
The Brass hammer is awesome. Great idea with this beaters. Ill hang onto them. thanks. I have a lot of the hammers and older tools tucked away in buckets for future cleanups.
@@deezworkshop you'll find some old beaters in my garage. They're for stirring old paint. You can bring it back with a stick. The beater is faster and easier. Which if I'm skimping on paint I'm all about. Some paint's too far gone. I've brought a lot of borderline cases back from the brink though. Just give it a good beating.
The real thin pliers with odd ends that you called the valve compressor is actually a Briggs and Straton tool to compress a spring on the condenser to slide in the wire in
I was gifted loads of leather tools that was going to be thrown away by the people that found them in a house they bought. They didn't see any value in them but figured I might want them. Easily $3000 worth of tools and supplies even in the condition they were in.
I tried to save what I could, donated a lot. It was a shame the family wanted nothign to do with anything. There was so much stuff to go through. tons and tons more than I have in this video.
Not a lot of great things in this lot but I thinkn the effort to see what was there was worth it. I dis manage to save some things that I will put to use, My family got a lot of the wrenches. making tool sets for the nephews. Oddly enough many of these wrenches complete sets that were missing sizes from several family members tool collections. At least someone will use them
The Clipper you took out of the white bucket did it have any name on it or letters in the handle grips? It looks like an H.K.Porter tool? That would be a cool tool to have and restore. If it is my dad was on of their machinists.
Thats cool your dad was a machinest there, I checked and they werent actually clippers but they were Crimpers, Make in Ohio by "National Telephone Supply Company" Not sure they will be of any use to me but neat old tool.
I have to laugh all the wrenches are trash. They're all SAE and everything is metric now days. The last time I used an SAE wrench was some 30 years ago. This was a blast from the past seeing all the old tools I'm older than dirt so if you want to know what something is let me know. Thanks for sharing!
Agreed. Most of it was junk and I’ve already given it away. I personally think the old fella became senile in his later years and bought many many repeat tools thinking he didn’t have them.
Man, you talk a lot of shit about a deceased man's tools, which I find pretty disrespectful. Who are you to call the final iteration of a man's life of tool use "garbage". But that's your opinion and I'm not going to try and sway your thoughts about that. What I would suggest is, that if this is something you do often (buy big collections if old tools) then for God sakes man, at the very least get two buckets somewhere in or outside your shop. One being for totally unusable tools, but collected to go to the scrap yard. Put a few bucks in your pocket while you dig through another man's treasure. Plus they'll get recycled rather than wasting away in a landfill. Number two would be to donate usable, but undesirable tools to your local charity shop, especially Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Those of us that would have been happy to get 25 odd screwdrivers for like 50¢ love to find grungy old stuff like that and try to bring it back to life.
I dont do this often, I dont do this ever, I was respectful to the man, I meant no disrespect to him but he obviously cared little for these tools considering the condition they were in and what it took for me to gather this small sampling together. His own children wanted nothing to do with these tools, I was glad to have tried to salvage some of this mans legacy of tooling, the rest was donated to others who wanted it or put back in their tool boxes and given to a group who wanted it. The items that were discarded were truly trash, covered in racoon and rat feces and rusted or beyond repair.
Actually I think you were disrespectful to another mans tools. I didn't see anything that was gross or nasty. Just a lifetime of tools being tossed on a table that belonged to a person that you didn't know. Just remember someday your tools and junk will be purchased and critiqued, hopefully in a more respectful way than you did. FYI- dirty tools are in most cases hidden gems waiting to be restored. Your knowledge of old tools is lacking.
The man could have been sick for many many years plus they could have even been his Dad’s stuff. I had to laugh, I think my Dad was trying to open a C-clamp museum. I still have everyone of them. Pop’s been gone 19 years and I still thank him when I go through a box and find just the tool I need to complete a job.
Very nice haul. Good job on saving these tools

Interesting video! 👍
Thanks, It was fun to save some of this gentlemans tools and find some treasures.

The long box was a homemade plumbing box
Cool, This gentleman had about 5-6 of these homemade long toolboxes. I didn't realize that Plumbers made them for their tooling. Makes sense. I could see them being useful for longer carpentry tools as well, Like Squares and levels etc. Thanks for watching.
Id be interested in the angle top metal box if you want to pass it along.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. I still hadn’t figured out what they were for.
I was gifted loads of leather tools that was going to be thrown away by the people that found them in a house they bought. They didn't see any value in them but figured I might want them. Easily $3000 worth of tools and supplies even in the condition they were in.

Hi Deez, the mystery oiler was made by Eagle the clue is the patented pump style and its handle.
I cleaned it up recently and it is an Eagle as you pointed out.
Looks like my tools after I sell anything of any value Eagle
Not a lot of great things in this lot but I thinkn the effort to see what was there was worth it.

You DON'T trash tools ever.
Put that old masking tape in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, it’ll work fine
I will try that, I actually have a painting task to work on so this will be a good test.

Lots of poorly maintained repeat tools.... Some handy items but sadly nil surprising nuggets of tool gold.
Agreed. Most of it was junk and I’ve already given it away. I personally think the old fella became senile in his later years and bought many many repeat tools thinking he didn’t have them.
