Those gloves are awesome, just be aware that they are to be tested yearly for shock hazard. I work in plumbing utilities, the linemen that also work in our shop give use the gloves that dint pass testing, They are awesome for cooking on a pit or any sort of nasty job. A grand find!!
Some of my most used wool sweaters I’ve found in those donation boxes people will put out on the curb in neighborhoods. A Pendleton thick wool button up that holds up in rain/snow better than some modern jackets I have. Just for free in a box. I found a Lelit espresso machine that had a PID in it in a dumpster, after I replaced the group shower holder and cleaned it it was the nicest espresso machine I’ve ever owned. I brought home a toaster oven once. I even got my TV from my old boss at a pizza place. He thought it was broken because someone taped over the vents to prevent flour from getting in it, but obviously that would cause it to overheat and turn off. So he gave it to me for free, a 1 year old $800 sampsung smart tv for free. That was a nice score. There’s opportunities out there where you can grab high quality items for little to no money. It’s such a great feeling when you come across one of these opportunities.
I was working at the gas station when I heard the unmistakable sound of a trucker's winch bar hit the road out front of the station. I drove flatbed truck for most of my driving career. For a simple bar it has so many uses.
If you're storing those gloves with the rubber inside the leather you're setting yourself up to be hurt. In general, if you're not trained for high voltage, don't be messing with anything you found from the power company because you're setting yourself up with a false sense of security without knowing what the actual risks are. You can kill yourself thinking you're safe from harm. I've sat thru 6 hours of HV training to understand that I don't understand any of it, and to just call the people who have gone through much more training, and are certified to work with live systems. Arc flash is NO JOKE. Parts of your body can vaporize before you ever realize you've effed yourself. Don't eff around.
I'm more trained for EV batteries and such. I can't afford good gloves but I don't do much power work so it doesn't matter, these are just nice to have. I'd be fine with getting killed though. Better than my other work injuries.
I was just going to post exactly that. Those are hot gloves. You don't just put them on and hope they work. Especially if you are doing work on voltage that is not standard house 110. Really, really not smart.
Sweet finds! I mostly found hardware and cellphone remnants back when I sometimes walked home from school. I did more recently find three 24V LED light-bars from a fridge near my my workplace, think a homeless person stripped a fridge for wire/metals and abandoned the lights as they didn't know they contained aluminum heat sinks. All three work, though I had to put new wires on two of them and the color-temp of the light isn't great. Still, free lighting!
That is a cool bag. They are not cheap if you went to buy one. The company doesn’t put their name on so when it falls off and damages your car you have nobody to go after.
My dad had a tool bag like that, bummer that the handle had nice splicing on the eyes but still yours will be nicer on the hands, you can always keep the handle as long as it is and pull it in a bit and tie another knot, I had a bag i rigged like that, and used the extra in the bag to make a loop for clipping some things on, so even if the bucket tipped they were tethered
also the bag is probably just untreated thick canvas when it gets wet it swells up and seals up. in the desert out west they would sell a water bag for you to hang on the front of your model T Ford, it let just enough water through to evaporate and as you drove your water got colder and colder. nice for refreshing yourself crossing death valley
@@RinoaL oh btw if you want to clean the fabric more oxy clan and water will help, if it ever got mildew )probably does a little) it will probably never look new. but ocyclean should take alot of that staning off and not hurt the canvas
I WAS WALKING MY DOG AND LIFTED UP A DUMPSTER LID AND THERE WAS A BANK ENVELOPE WITH $200 IN TEN DOLLAR BILLS SITTING ON TOP OF OLD DROP CEILING TILES. :)
@@ericschulze5641 Drug dealers dont tell people to leave money in the trash, they'd be a really lousy drug dealer lol. It's about at realistic as what they told kids in the 80s, that drug dealers would just be at every corner handing you drugs. nah you gotta pay for that lol.
Always got my eyes peeled, never seen a catch like any of yours. Good'n! Edit: as a chaw chewer I feel obliged to tell you, those little cans are called 'dip' and you tuck it in your lip and just spit Chewing tobacco, or chaw, is cut or whole loose leaf tobacco, you take a much bigger amount and hold it more in your cheek and chew it as well as spitting. Dip is more concentrated and finely ground or in pouches
The linerless rubber splicing tape is used to insulate motor lead connections in large motors. You want to stretch it to at least 50% of it's length and overlap the wraps by half.
I'm a lineman electrician, and we use bags like that all the time, we call them nose bags, the reason being that they were originally used for horses feed so they could dip their noses in it to eat.
Oh that's what WB means. cool. I think I have found some. I like locks and collect them but I suck at picking most of them. Maybe I should gather all the ones I've found and sell them.
Fyi, plating wrong, knots should be on the outside better to be spliced,do you have a license to work on burners ,wrong choice to cut rope and there is a reasons why nylon rope was used all this on short video lol.
So you didn't call the company the guy worked for and have the company notify him that a customer reported their personal belongings left behind? Nice.
No, why the fuck would I do that? I don't know what company it was, and if they want to keep their stuff they need to put their names on their tools. Or better yet, not have their workers leave tools out for days.
No personal belongings in that bag, everything in that bag was mode than likely rems from a completed job that would have been scrapped anyway. This is evident by the used primary splice wrapping being left in the bag. These heavy canvas bags are super useful, I have used them in structural steel erection, electrical HV transmission work, and in underwater assembly work for bolts and misc. If the company gave more than half a damn they would have never used faded worn polypropylene line for the carry loop and hung it off the truck like amateurs. Riona, that stuff isn't worth much but the bag is still a useful carry all.
@@sshep7119 The stuff inside the bag actually is worth a lot to me because I maintain a lot of buildings and can use it all actually. I can directly charge my clients over the times I'll use it on their buildings and poles and not have to buy the brackets and bolts myself haha For me, this is basically an $80 bag with $120 in supplies.

Yeah they are past their test date now, but It's not like I do stuff that's too crazy at least.

Gotta love how enthusiastic you are over that thing.
I found a 24 inch Blue Point chain wrench on the side of the road almost 30 years ago. I still use it regularly.
That was a good find 💰

fuck yeah! So far I've found about 110$ in bills blowing around over the past few years. good catch!
Some kind of drug dealer stuff if it was on top
@@ericschulze5641 i think it was the person that dumped construction waste. karma got um lol

I saw that in a video about that, very cool. Could be great for some antique motors I've saved that the leads got cut on.

It's always cool when stuff falls off of vehicles on the highways and other roads
Wonder what kind of Locks you've found. Wilson Bohannan padlocks are certainly collectable.
Oh that's what WB means. cool. I think I have found some. I like locks and collect them but I suck at picking most of them. Maybe I should gather all the ones I've found and sell them.
That rubber splicing tape looks self-vulcanizing, that's good stuff. Nice heavy duty tool bag-bucket too.
Happy holidays to you and Thais!
It doesn't have adhesive, it sticks to itself then vulcanized to itself and becomes water tight.
That's a lifetime supply of silicone dielectric grease for most people. Great find!
There's a cloth bucket just like that that's been sitting at the side of the road near my Goodwill. Would have never thought that was treasure XD
they are really useful!
Those cloth buckets are great scaffolders use them as well I think there for heights don’t know why. Have a Merry Christmas
i fond a dummy photocell that fell of a lineman truck i use it with my street light now
I would burn the ends on the rope to keep from unraveling to much and wrap with electrical tape later on to give that finished look. Great find.
Oddly enough ive never had this rope frey before, must be something with the method of weave I wonder
@@RinoaL Got you.
What a nice score. Even just for the bag. Would make a bad ass tool bag 😊
Great find, I’m jealous,I’ve always wanted one.
I get so much good shit off the side of the road. My wife gets it now and will jump out or pull over.
A Christmas miracle
That's not anodization. That's galvanization.
Yeah I misspoke was late at night. I like that it's zinc dipped.
What ever happened to that electric car you fixed a while back?
Its in my dad’s barn
The amount of bastard files I lose is very annoying
That is a really good haul!
Fyi, plating wrong, knots should be on the outside better to be spliced,do you have a license to work on burners ,wrong choice to cut rope and there is a reasons why nylon rope was used all this on short video lol.
Those arent the issues you think they are.
You really should not use a pair of hot gloves you found on the ground.
Can't afford my own, and don't worry, I watched him put them down and saw that they were still within their usage date.
Lol. 9:02 😄
Score

Some of that stuff is a couple $100 a piece.
I'm glad that I'm in a position to actually get full use out of this because I work on so many big buildings.

Thats theft
No it isnt, it’s abandoned property
What is that hat
traditional scottish military hat called a Tam. Made from wool, it works well in winter. Bought from Fabhatrix in scotland
They call it an "unboxing video".
I thought there was another video genre, maybe it was simply "What's in my purse" that people used to put in their video titles a lot.
I think there is another term. I think they call it "Everyday carry."
@@Flojoe6274 I was going to add that men in the prepper movement started doing videos about that and the name spread too, yeah

damn i'd get behind both yall with my tool
