<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 200079, member: 54"]A seller 2 hrs from me told me he'd have a small truckload of tools and machines available to sell at about 9:30 Saturday. I hit the road at 6:00 and got here at 8:00 to find his other customers had mostly stripped anything decent out of the truck, leaving nothing I could use. Not the first time that's happened, to make sure and get there early enough to get anything good I have to drive the day prior and either stay in motel or with inlaws. Anyway here's what I got from his regular inventory after the unproductive (for me) truck sale. I was tired and had a bad cold, didn't take the time to secure the 500-lb. load against quick stops, intending to avoid those, but yes had to make one quick stop and now those drills etc. are all over the truck. The 5-gal. Buckets are about 12 inches across the tops, for scale. Most of the drills have been resharpened many times, and now much shorter than originally. The drills go up to about 2" diameter but I rarely use drills that big so I'll be thinking of non-traditional uses for them, or maybe sell or trade some. I wonder if steampunk buy them?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://springfieldarsenal.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/img_4508.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
