Antique Military Tool Roll

- The clean-up procedure on these tools were as follows: Wash and rinse all tools without wood handles. For the Wood handled tools I removed grease and dirt with mineral sprits. Next all tools were wiped down with WD-40 and the wood was rejuvenated with Lemon oil... Next all the tools were wiped down and coated with my 50/50 mix of Vaseline and Mineral oil. Thanks
That tool roll screams "ScoutCrafter". It couldn't have gone to a better home...unless it was mine. :)
Hi Wyatt! LOL This was too good to be true but turned out to be true after all! =D Thanks so much!!
I’ve watch this video twice now John and still get a kick out of seeing those tools
Hi Ben! That was some score! I thought for sure it was a scam! LOL
It certainly was John You always see All tools in rusty tins on the free market to see them As there was originally They just look like Jules Glistening in the light
..dang what a find, new sellers have to start somewhere..the right guy won the bid..congrats..
Hi Bob! I wonder if other eBayer's were laughing and saying "Obvious Scam" LOL Thanks Bob!
I think I must’ve watch this video four times now John and I still get a kick out of it what a great tool kit :-)
What a sweet deal you found. Looks like they were cared for. I'm glad they found a new home with you.
Hello Virginia! How amazing is it to find such a batch of super old tools in such great shape? I really thought it was a scam! (But I bit anyway) LOL Thanks so much!!!!
Great purchase, great tool kit. Your story reminded me of a friend who couldn’t sell his lightly used, undamaged, well-maintained 8 year old flat-bed farm pickup truck from in front of his office for only $4000. He tried for weeks, but no nibbles. He asked his buddy, the used car salesman, for help. Leave it to me, his buddy said. He got it shined up, doubled the price and put it on his lot near his new trucks - sold it the first day for $8,000.
The moral of my tale - If it’s priced too cheap, people thinks there’s a problem, and hesitate. Glad you took the plunge Scoutcrafter - great purchase.
LOL! You are so right!!!!!!!! Reminds me of this girl named Angel who was beautiful! She was 17 and nobody asked her to the prom because everyone just assumed she had a date! She wound up going with this nerdy guy because he was the only one who asked! LOL
ScoutCrafter Ain’t it the truth! If you don’t ask, they can’t say “No”, and, at least, if you ask, you get to have a conversation, if only a very brief one, with the Angels of this world.
Nice score, beautiful tools. A couple years ago I bought a radial delta drill press. I paid it minutes after it closed. Never received it over6 weeks. eBay did refund my money. It’s the only bad buy I have made on eBay. Thank You
What a great score! Leave the guy good feedback! I always go out of my way to take care of my customers on there and when someone does right by me, I let them know because I feel it encourages them. When I sell something, I pack it in a way that it would survive being run over by a truck! I got a real nice leather coat the other day and it was packed by a lady and this jacket was folded so neatly and clean with no odors and she wrapped it in paper towels and the box was perfect. I contacted her to thank her and complement her on her skills and cleanliness and she really appreciated it. What goes around, comes around I always say
Hi Joe! I am the same exact way!!!! Being that this was his first auction I was sure to really leave him a lengthy positive feedback with 5 stars all around... I also contact sellers and thank them for exceptional packing! However many times the packing isn't exceptional! LOL Thanks Joe!!!!!!!!!
Oh yes. I ALWAYS give great feedback on packaging and shipping. I got a vintage 3 Wheeling magazine from 1985. Took me 40 minutes to open it it was packaged so perfectly. I complemented him to no end and gave him a 5 star rating. I think he was kind of embarrassed I was bragging his packing job up so much!
But when you’ve been ripped off like I have you tend to really appreciate those who are honest and genuine.
Hey ScoutCrafter, a tip to keep that leather in condition would be to use a viscous oil such as bone oil or neats foot oil, just lightly coat both sides of it to prevent it from dry rotting or cracking. A lot of people think leather doesn’t last that long, but I have worked with saddles over a hundred years old that are still in great condition because they were maintained well and kept oiled. Thanks for these amazing videos, they inspire me to restore old tools myself!
Unbelievable. The two screwdrivers alone are worth that... maybe each! What a score.
Hi Richard! The best part for me about this kit is it's together... If some profit driven pawn shop got it they might have parted it out until only the canvas roll would be left... Thanks Richard!
Wow, what I'd give for that tool roll, wow, double wow, amazing scou, wow again, I'd love to own that x wow again!!!!! 👍🇺🇸🇬🇧
I love this old tools
Sweet 👍!!! Big score 😎 Thanks for sharing. 🤠
Hi Jim! Thanks so much! Very old tools in awesome shape! And a roll too!!!!!
I know, I'm jealous...😂
You're welcome, Sir 🤠
I'm not going to pretend, I was a little jealous. What a magnificent find!! And in such pristine conditions!!
It's amazing but there really are some good deals on eBay! So many things for sale every moment you have to get lucky once in a while! LOL
I sat in my study and drooled as you showed the tools. The perfect handle screwdrivers and wrenches are beautiful and the Billings spanners are fantastic. These tools are now in the best possible hands to ensure they survive as most people would not realise the significance of these tools.
In Sheffield there was a chap called Ken Hawley (worth Googling the name) who rescued loads of tools before they were scrapped. You are doing a similar job for posterity. GREAT video.
Hi Tony! Just looked him up! He has a wonderful website and youtube videos! He has a marvelous collection!!! Now I have one for you! Here in the states there is a Legend by the name of Dragonman, he has a military museum in Colorado Springs... Unmatched.... Amazing.... Thanks Tony!!!!!!!
Scoutcrafter, I saw dragonman site and it scared me witless:-). He was reviewing the Sterling sub machine gun which used to be my personal weapon in the army and he would have given our sergeant major a heart attack the way he handled it. Any transgressions on the range meant 20 press ups in the mud followed by a bawling out to remember. Take care.
@@uktony1525 LOL Too many people at the range are way too careless with firearms.. I have seen my share of accidents and near misses. I never go to a public range now! Scares the bejesus out of me! Dragonman has the best museum anywhere. He has a few videos on the museum and it's amazing. As for me I get all my thrills for shooting from 10M air rifle. Thanks Tony!
My friend for me this tool roll is a treasure!!! Just awesome
Hello Wladimir! It's like finding a little tool time machine! LOL I only wish you could smell the canvas! LOL Thanks so much my friend!!!!
THANK YOU...for sharing. Very nice score.
ScoutCrafter I'm going to have to make a confession here...forget Aladdin's cave. Your basement for a tool junkie... Paradise!
Guided tours have to be in your future plans. Cheeky I know but a web page would be great, especially for your overseas fans.
I am looking for a new home now... Lots of shop space and a place where I can display all the cool stuff it took me years to accumulate! =) Thanks!
WOW! You always find the best toys! My Pop had a tool roll like this in a little box under the seat of his tractor. I don't remember exactly what was in it but it looked very similar. I could guess files for the cutting tools the tractor would tow, wrenches and screwdrivers for attaching and adjusting the tow-behind tractor accessories. Maybe? I know EXACTLY the smell you mean. It is a powerful memory trigger! Makes me think of my Pops work shed. Thanks for another great video!
Hello ITE! Yes! My Dad also had a tool roll and smaller ones in his tool box! The smell of that old canvas is just wonderful! I have a couple canvas tents that were from older scouting days... They would get wet and we would have to air them out so they wouldn't get moldy... The good days!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!
Very nice find. You hit the tool collectors lottery!
Hi Frank!!! This was really a chance.... Everything was telling me not to fall for it but low and behold it turned out to be legit! Thanks so much Frank!!!!!!
Wow, that is fantastic! Gosh, I love tool rolls. I'm sure there are reasons they are less popular these days, but there is without a doubt utility in them. ...and what amazing shape your new kit is in. It looks like a time capsule, huh? What fun! Thanks for showing us the amazing find. I love it!
Hi Daniel! My Dad had some stuff in tool rolls and I always liked them! I wonder why they fell out of favor!? Thanks so much!
I think that the last pic hits the nail on the head. Somewhere, I have the old tool roll from my Dad's Model T Ford from the 1920s. I believe that most cars came with tool kits up until WWII. After that, it seemed like only the foreign made cars came with tool kits. The best kit was the one that came with VW Beetles in the 1950s and 60s. It made the 1500 mile oil change and service easy. Another fascinating visit with you and your toys. Now, I have to go out and get some more firewood in preparation for the coming storm(already got the generator ready). I hope that everyone weathers it ok. Good Luck, Rick
Hello Richard! LOL I don't watch the news anymore but I remember years ago when I did a few days before a snow storm they would have us thinking the apocalypse was coming and it was going to be BAD, no matter how prepared I was it was going to be BAD! Milk and bread flew off the shelves because it was going to be BAD! all the salt and shovels were long sold out and schools were already cancelled because it was... well you know... Then I remember the day of the storm thinking "This ain't so bad!" shoveled some snow and watched TV... 4 days of worrying myself sick for this?!?!? =) Never again! Thanks Richard!
@@ScoutCrafter As an Eagle Scout, I believe in, Be Prepared. It is better to have and not need than to need and not have. I figure all of my tools come under that idea. Good Luck, Rick
That was a realy good find, I think they are in the hands of the right person now. :)
Hello Vampira! I can't believe how old most of this stuff is! The canvas smells so great! LOL Thanks!
Best Grandpa's friends...👍At the time they were very good steel craft-made and without any of todays tricks..A piece of History I would say...Nice and Unique...✨
I have never heard you so excited and rightfully so. Nice find. I've seen some of those items go individually for more than the bid.
Early on I was selling off some items on Ebay that were gathering dust. Not paying attention I put one thing up with no reserve. It went for the opening price at less rhan half of what it was worth. The lady who purchased it messaged me and said she felt bad knowing that it was worth more. I told her it was an auction and that's how it works. I have had items that I won the bid on end up never arriving. I also had people angry when I told them my deal with checks and I didn't ship until the check cleared.
I don't sell much anymore.
Hi Dave! LOL Early eBay was really like the Wild West! Peter said "Your lucky you didn't get a brick wrapped in canvas" He was right! They did stuff like that back then... The good thing is eBay really did a good job cleaning up its sellers... If you try to scam someone you will be banned for LIFE! From Buying too! You have to run things like ebay with discipline or else you will wind up like Chicago! LOL Thanks Dave!!!
I rate this as best used tool haul of the year, so far. (Danoh holds my vote for best ever.).
Having been born in Billings (Montana), I have a soft spot for tools of the same name. I wonder if there are current residents of Billings that collect Billings tools...
Hello FP! I have to agree Danoh has had some unbeatable scores!!! You know it's funny but with certain tool manufacturers you find a lot more examples of there tools around the area it was produced! Especially smaller manufacturers... In Bridgeport Ct. you can find lots of Bridgeport Milling machines! Where as on the West coast not as many! Billing was very big though and had top notch distributers so their products are very dispersed thruout the US! Thanks so much!!!!!!
Foot Pusher ok you got my attention, who is Danoh?
@@corydriver7634 Danoh's Toolbox channel on RUclips. Collector of hand tools. Herbrand nut. Danoh had a score last year that cost about $75 for hundreds of dollars worth of Snap On and other top brand tools... Recommended
What an _unbelievable_ score, ScoutCrafter. I’m envious of this great find. I have some projects in the works, but I’ve yet to find a nice set like this.
Hello Der Schäfer! This tool set really appeals to us because it came in a tool roll and we all love them! LOL Thanks so much!!!
You could make cool leather roll for it scout. What a find awesome!!!!
So glad you got such a deal. You deserve it. What surprises me is the variety and condition of the tools. Just amazing. By the way, I see you have allot of open space in that basement! Thanks and have a nice weekend.
Hello Tony! LOL You see what I mean when I say "I'm full up" 3 generations of crap over here and I have zero more room!!!! LOL Thanks Tony!!!!
What a great set. Once in a lifetime find. I remember about 12 years ago I bought a working Hallicrafters S-85 Radio on Ebay for $20 plus shipping. I was the only bidder for simple reason the seller spelled Hallicrafters wrong and I accidently stumbled upon it. Anyway I think I paid around $35 including the shipping. I now look for radios and tools under misspellings. Been on Ebay for 18 years.
Hello Wire! LOL I can't tell you how many great scores I got mis-spelling keywords! My favorite was Starrett! Leave off one "F" or one "T" and there were always about a dozen listings... LOL The good old days!!!! Thanks Wire!!!
Holy Crap!!!! What a find!!! And thankfully, it came to you and you shared it with us.
Hi Will! Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed!!!
Glad you now have it, it will cared for properly. Good stuff.
Hello CPTK! The funny thing is these older tools aren't as useful today... I will keep them like a tool time machine! LOL Thanks!!!
YOU hit the jackpot on that one, Pal! We had tool rooms here in the states where I was and the mechanics trucks and maybe some spare odds and ends I kept on the crane for setting clutches and changing cables in RVN. That is NEAT! Can't help you about where it went originally but I can sure brag on it! A-PLUS, Crafty SCout and GBWYall!
Hi Lewie!! It's one thing to find a batch of these tools at once but in the shape they are in was amazing! All so old too! I hope someone here will know the origin! Thanks Lewie!!!!!!!
What a score. Nicely done.
Thanks so much Steve!!!!!
Oh my word! What have you stumbled upon?? A real good score.. You lucky person you!
Hello Loxxxton! Like a tool time machine! LOL Thanks!!!!!
Congrats on a great buy. I only had the one good auction, I was the only bidder, and won with my first bid. I then got a notification that the bidder had cancelled the order because they could not supply the item. Two days later the same item was re-listed with a higher initial price. I complained to eBay and the seller, but to no avail. The dealer is still selling, and as you can tell it bugs me no end. I am happy that your deal worked out well.
Hello 1Lupus! YES!!!!! That happened to me!!!!! Like I was saying it was like the wild west years ago on eBay! So many scammers! One time I won an auction and the item was late... I contacted the guy and said where's my item? He told me it was shipped to the wrong address and he was so sorry but he is expecting it back this week and will ship it right out as soon as it arrives.. I said "No problem-no rush!" Well the item never came so I tried to contact him again and he never responded... So I said "OK I will have to leave you negative feedback" When I tried to leave feedback I couldn't because the auction was over 60 days!!!!!!! This guys scam was stall you for 60 days and forget you!!!!!! I contacted eBay and it took a while but he was removed and I did lose my money!!!!! So yes I know the pain! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
what an amazing buy friend well worth the money the ratchet plain screw driver is amazing keep them coming my friend hope your health is better now
Hi Robert! This was a nice surprise! Like Peter said "It could have been a brick wrapped in canvas" LOL Thanks so much Robert!
Hello...All I can say is WOW, what a super kit, That is so dern sweet. That was a super find, What a deal. Don't ya just love it when a find is that great!
Hi Joel! This is more like a tool haul I make during a whole day of picking at a steam show! LOL Thanks so much!!!!
Wow, that’s a great eBay score! It’s like opening a time capsule. Congrats on this great addition to your collection.
Hello SP! The best part is the smell! 100 year old canvas has a smell you just can't reproduce! Thanks!!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter could it be PATINA? (ha,ha)
That perfect handle screwdriver is gorgeous! I love those.
Hello Papi! I never saw a perfect handle square shanked screwdriver! Great stuff!! Thanks!!!
Jackpot...You won the lottery with those.
I'm very happy for you.
"Cee Tee" was a trademark used by the Crescent Tool Co. Tool rolls are rarely used anymore, but I like them, and you can still buy new ones for various purposes.
Hello MrS! Yes! It's amazing how many companies were being bought up and changed over during the early 1900's! Thanks so much!
Awesome score!
Cee Tee made some excellent pliers back in the day. One of my very first pair of slip joints were Cee Tee, and I'm sure I still have them. Excellent score on the military tool lot.
Hello HNF! We don't see too many Cee Tee tools here in the East! I wonder why? Thanks!!!!!!!
Scout crafter! You are one of the luckiest guys I know! (Or know about anyway) If it was not coming from you I would swear you were lying about that! I have never seen such a collection of absolutely incredible Tools in my whole life all in one place! That has to be the star of your collection. I know it would be for me. I just still can't believe it! Holy cow!!!
Hi Bill! What really got to me was the very early age and awesome condition of these tools!! I was sure it was a scam! LOL I bid anyway! Just goes to show you I still have some "sucker" left in me! =D Thanks Bill!!
53 bucks. Wow. Each one of the tools in that roll are an episode in themselves. Perhaps I should join ebay. Congrats on the purchase!
Hi Ben! eBay is a great place to blow lots of cash! LOL Mostly on stuff you have no real need for! =P I enjoy it though... Thanks Ben!!!!!
That's a great pickup, I'm digging the tool roll design.
Hello Robert! I always loved tool rolls! You don't see too many but I always liked them! Thanks so much!!!!!
it was in your eyes and your voice throughout the whole video - you were a kid on Christmas morning all over again LOL!
Don't blame you at all. Great score and some amazing tools. Congrats Scout!
Hi Lee! I can't believe the shape they are in!! I'm so used to working on crappy rusty brown tools that this was a really nice break!!! Thanks Lee!!!!!!!
Extra tools set !!! 👏😍👍
Hi Krum! Can't have too many! LOL Thanks!!!!
Man o man . You know that will never happen again John.Congratulations and keep that one.
Hi Lou! I was sure it was a scam and I was the only sucker to bite! LOL I was very relieved to finally receive it and even more so when I saw the condition! My Dad had a couple tool rolls and I always liked them... Reminds me of "Flight of the Phoenix" with Jimmy Stewart! =D Thanks Lou!
What an incredible find! Congratulation ScoutCrafter on winning the bid, they look great. Thanks for sharing this.
Hi John! It's nice to finally get a lot of tools that aren't beat to heck! LOL Thanks so much!!!!!
That's a beautiful thing.
Superb Set, unbelievable really
Hello T Vlad! The fact that it came in a tool roll makes it even better! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!!
I was questioning the military aspect, all the tools "usually" would have a US on the outside of that canvas roll-up, but no matter it is a fine looking set, and you took a chance and it was worth it.
Hello Ernie! You are right!!! Also many tools would also be stamped US! 57 Willys thinks maybe it was a high end auto kit.. Possible!!!! He knows more than me! LOL Thanks Ernie!!!!!!!!
I agree what you have is an automotive tool roll from around 1920!
Early Automobiles 🚘 needed constant adjustments and chauffeurs often doubled as a mechanic!
Super cool! Love the excitement you have for these old tools....its rubbing off on me lol.
Hello BAJ! I really think this is such a fantastic hobby as long as you aren't in it for the money... Money ruins EVERYTHING!!! Where else can you find a old pair of pliers and mint them out and really enjoy them! Thanks so much!
@@ScoutCrafter do you kinda of mean buying and selling? Instead of just doing it for the love of the tools and as strictly a collector?
Score!! Another great video.
Hello Mr D! Thanks so much! This was a nice surprise!!!! =)
That’s actually what I’ve been looking for that’s just awesome can’t beat old school.
That’s beautiful and that chunky screwdriver is killer! I once bid on an unusually cheap Witco carving on ebay. The seller said “do not contact me for any reason. Shipping may take one year.” A year later, it arrived!
OMG! A year later!!!! That's incredible!! At least you got the item! =) Thanks so much!!!!!
This is a heck of a score. Good for you.
Hi Edward! Just nice old tools in great shape... Like a tool time machine! LOL Thanks!!!!!
Wow Scout you really scored a beautiful bunch of tools. 👍👍👍
Thanks so much Terry! These are a nice family of antique tools!
Wow! That perfect handle screwdriver is sweet! Look at the lines on it!
Hello LR! I never saw a perfect handle square shanked screwdriver! Your right the forging was so nice! They really put extra time all their tools!!!!! Thanks LR!!!
Very cool indeed! A great buy!! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Pops! One of the few times my instinct was wrong... Everything pointed to scam but I took the chance! Thanks so much!!!!!
Thanks Scout love old tools you are my favorite one too watch on here glad i met you i learned a lot from you thanks buddy
Helo Wayne! I am so glad you are enjoying the channel and tools!! Thanks!!!!!!!
Outstanding find. Care for it well.
Hello Norherman! This is one of those finds that I will pass on to a museum or something... Keep the tools together! Thanks so much!!!!!
That roll is beautiful. Love the wood handles. 😀
Gotta love an eBay newbie. One person doesn’t know how valuable their stuff is another thinks their junk is gold. 🤷🏻♀️
Yes, you sound very excited!
Hi Jill! Usually I buy rusty tools and I have little if any other bidders... Nobody wants rusty tools! =D You are right, so many times people are amazed I bought their grandfather's rusty wrench! Many times out of guilt they will include an extra tool thinking I am off my rocker! LOL Maybe I am.. For many people here this was a great buy but if I tried to sell this set to 99% of the population they would have me locked up! =) Thanks Jill!
Awesome find. Love all those tools. Nice clean up.
That's a really nice restoration,not to mention the cool factor!
You should open a tool museum!!
Hello Arlind! You know there is one museum I am dying to see, it's in Colorado Springs and run by a Legend named DragonMan... If you search "Drangonman Museum" on youtube you can see it, the best military museum ever! Thanks Arlind!!!!
@@ScoutCrafterThank you. I'll look him up!
@@ScoutCrafter LOVE THIS GUY.

Very Neat score Scout!!! Thank you for sharing
Wow now that’s really a nice peace of history for $53.00
I still can't believe it! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!
Those tools are wicked cool! Some I recognize from my dad's tools the Billings straight handle and s wrenches as well as that s shaped pick! I love that wood handle ratchet screwdriver!
H.D.Smith was the company that used the name PERFECT HANDLE for their line of tools. From what I have seen , most military stuff is marked as such with a item name and mil-spec numbers. My late father in-law worked at Travis Air Force in Fairfield California selling military stuff once a month at a auction held on the base. Later he did the same thing at Mare Island Navel Shipyard in Vallejo California before retiring.
Hi Chuck! You are so right! Also much of the early stuff was dated and stamped US, 57 Willys thinks it might be a higher end auto tool roll! Thanks so much Chuck!!!!!!
Outstanding !!! i am purple-green with envy...
It's amazing how nice shape these tools were in! Thanks so much!!
I like the wood handle pipe wrench and I Love the polished ball been hammer
Hello N2F! You know I never saw a Billings Ball peen hammer! First for me! Thanks so much!!!!
Very cool Scout!
Thanks so much Len!!! It's nice to not be ripped off when you think you will be! LOL
I have a few cee tee pliers and some of the whrenches 👍 great score
Hello 70C! You know we don't see much Cee Tee stuff here on the East Coast! I wonder why? Thanks!
Outstanding score ! Every thing looks over the top condition wise.. Screw drivers are Crème de la Crème .. and the ratchet driver one of the finest
Hello Illup! Yes! I was shocked! I didn't have to do anything but clean them up! I like restoring tools but I also like getting them in nice shape to begin with! LOL Thanks so much!!
That bunker you have downstairs there, is going to be enough tools for the Eastern seaboard by the time your done.
Congratulations scoutcrafter. What a great auction and you well and truly deserve it! I hope the seller wont feel too bad about it having sold it for so little money, but these tools couldnt have gone to a better home. Enjoy
Hello Hanno! I think he probably got the roll for $20 somewhere and figured he would start the auction at $50... He will do better from now on because he has 100% positive feedback! Thanks so much!!!!!
Those pipes in your basement, and my head, could never be friends :)
Great score!
Hi Abe! Being in a tool roll puts to over the top! LOL If they were loose it wouldn't be the same! =) Thanks!!!!!!!
Wow, Scout, you could call that an instant collection. Gotta love that pistol grip screwdriver, That alone made it worth the half chop you spent.
Hello Rico! It seems everyone loves the pistol grip screwdriver! I bet it's illegal here in NYC! LOL Thanks!!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter - I get the impression, John, that you feed the birds. I found out that you have to be dedicated to do that, those little critters can really go though the bird seed in the winter!
Nice Score!!! If that was mine I would frame it some how or shadow box it. Admire it everyday as I walk by it. Thanks for sharing.. RJ
and yes im going on ebay right now and looking for same score. (just like the other followers are)
Hi Romel! LOL I would but the thing is like 3 feet wide by 2 feet high! LOL I ran out of wall space years ago! =D Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!
Could not have went to better person thanks for your video ( Doug in GA 🐈 )
Hi Doug! Thanks so much! I was tickled when it actually arrived! LOL
Its so hard to list anything to sell on ebay and then if you sell it and dont have under 25 sales you must wait 21 days to get the money unless: they leave positive feedback or your account has secured funds connected to it. That is one awesome field kit!
Hi Doug! Yes, eBay is definitely set up for the buyers, but that's what makes people use it! You can always find new sellers but once a buyer gets ripped off they might never come back! Thanks Doug!!!!!!
Good score John.
Hi Dave! Can you imagine how old this roll is? All the tools have turn of the century patent dates! All nice shape too! Mind boggling! =) Thanks Dave!!!!
What a find! Thanks for sharing. Very cool
Hello ZB! Thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!!!!
Good score! I am amazed that you got a tool kit in that good of condition.
Hi Michael!!!!! I'm amazed I actually "Got" the tool roll at all! LOL Thanks!!!!!!
Looks like a great deal
Thanks so much Larry!!!!!
Amazing find!!!
Hello Ap45 & Son! Thanks so much! You never see tool rolls anymore!
Wow what a great score! That ratcheting screwdriver is very cool. When i travel with tools i use a 5 gallon bucket. Perhaps i should make a tool roll so that i don't look like a fool with my homer bucket 😂. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Hi Joe! You know if kept dry, a tool roll really keeps the tools nice! My Dad had a couple in his tool box. They were big years back but people don't keep tools in their cars anymore, unless you drive a vintage car! LOL Thanks Joe!!!!
Awesome score!! Those tools are in great shape! Love that pistol grip screwdriver
Hi Steve! I just heard that 357MagDad is going to try to make it to Jacktown before the apocalypse! LOL You know about three years ago I was there in the snow and it was awesome! =D You know the Pistol grip screwdriver is illegal in NYC! =P Thanks Steve!!!
That pistol grip screwdriver is HOT! Nice score! I'm gonna try to get up to Jacktown tomorrow and get out before the big storm!
Hello 357! Unfortunately I can't make it tomorrow, the weather is going to be crap by me and even if I did make it there ok the trip home thru NJ is a nightmare when it isn't snowing! LOL I think Steve F might be going too! I always got great deals at the Winter show in Jacktown!!!! I hope you can get there!!!! Thanks N!!!
Wow! Super-score - congratulations and thankyou again ScoutCrafter, kind regards, Clive NZ
Hi Clive! the tool roll is what makes us really like it! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!!
What a great score, love that pistol grip ratcheting screwdriver. Somebody got a lesson on shipping costs.
Hello Emerson! California to New York- $3.50 Maybe in the late 50's? LOL Thanks!!!!!!
Very lucky, awesome find! 👍 👍 I definitely would have taken that chance too.
Hi Bert! Now a days eBay will back you up.. Years ago you were on your own! LOL 15 years ago If I called eBay and told them I received a Brick in a piece of canvas they would have said "You did receive the item but the description was bad" LOL Thanks Bert!
I just love tool rolls and the tools are in "near mint" condition. I need to check out eBay. Good job Scout.
Nice score ... If the tools were originally assembled in this roll, it's a mystery. Usually the tools in a roll are dedicated to a specific application. I have a friend whose family's hardware company provided various special purpose tool rolls under government contract. He told me that, because of the high volume, those brought in a lot of money.
Hi Carver! I have seen lots of tool rolls for Jeeps and 2-1/2 ton trucks and tanks... but like you said they were slightly different... This looks more general purpose! 57 Willys will know! =) Thanks!!!!!!!!!
That is really cool! And the reason I NEVER get on ebay. I would be more broke.
upside downdog - hi from down-under...dog looks right way up to me.
