This was grand! I knew you had a good reason to take them to the new shed and not to the transfer station. It would be great to get an update on what was sold from the auction where you found the starbust clock.
Thanks for showing all of those to us and the discussion. It's surprising how many goodies come out of old sheds at estate sales that most people pass right by.
Love a long video, remember the viewer can watch in parts. So interesting, Reminds me of my dear dads shed, a place of wonder and joy even for a small girl. I was inspired to study physics and maths because of it. Gayle in ballarat, retired science teacher. Cheers
Thanks for the ‘push.’ I have my father in law’s old toolbox and it’s a lot like this one-except it has a lot more tools in it. It belonged to his dad. Has everything this one did plus. Also have a picture, and the plans and records from the house he build before my father in law was born. ( in 1903). Now I’m planning a video and inventory of the box.
Thanks James - they certainly are popular in the shop. I just used a simply wire wheel in an old drill jammed in my bench vice!! It was a bit tricky with only one good arm!
I was wondering a similar thing. Do you worry about damaging the piece, or do you just hit everything with a wire wheel and see what happens? I've always been intimidated to try it, so a quick demo might be fun to see.
The bottle opener tool, reminds me of a lathe fly wheel locking tool, where the hole part goes over the drive and the two prongs fit the two holes either side. Also, it could be the tool that unlocks the shearing grinder wheel for cutters and combs.
Yes Bruce, it certainly looks like that sort of tool. Too big for an angle grinder - so something larger maybe, where you are required to open a beer while operating!! 🤣🤣
Interesting to be able to go through those things with you. Just a note regarding that Zerem wrench with the swivel ends - I have two I bought at a local feed store here in the states for about $5 each. Handy, but not very sturdy.
Thanks Bob - yeah, the design doesn't look to be very strong! I'm sure a length of pipe on one end for extra leverage would see a damaged tool almost immediately!
I like this sort of video, thanks Chris. I don't think $50 would be a stingy bid, you've had to sort, clean, research and now wait for them to sell. Looking forward to more 'un-boxing'!
Hi there, that rasp in box #2 is probably worth a bit more than $1.00. It is a specialty rasp which screws on to a holder. I have an old holder for a similar one sided rasp which allows you to file on curved surfaces. It has a turnbuckle arrangement for changing the arc of the curve. I have seen the holders for these two sided rasps, I just can't remember right now where or when.
Yep, almost certainly worth more than $1 Steve - particularly as they are quite expensive to buy new! Quite often good things slip through into the $1 box, but I don't mind that as it's very good for my business to have customers find "treasures" in the discount boxes - it keeps them coming back and they tell their friends! 😃👍
Makes me wish I had a shop! It would be interesting if you had a follow up video of how you get on with a shipment, or perhaps a long-term video which is released in 6 months - 1 year, showing the journey of a box from auction to sale. Btw I'm just spitballing! Feel free to ignore my rambling.
Someone else also asked me to let them know how the sales of tools go, so I will keep track of it and probably post on the community tab after awhile - or do a short vid 😊
After two days in the shop, I've sold $26 worth of this stuff so far Steve! I'll perhaps keep track of it and do a post on the community tab down the track! 👍😊
Is that bottle opener's other end a 44 gallon drum opener? i used to have a similar tool but without the benefit of a bottle opener. I'm going to have my own box's of old tools soon. I'm packing up my hoard because we're moving house. Cheers. Michael
The super wrenches is from JH Williams and co Brooklyn New York late 30's mid 40's them are in great shape and do have good value I have quite a bit of them I love them and use them alot
@@TheUltimateRecycler it's harder to find them here in America in good shape. For the industrial revolution and farmers have really put the use and abuse on them. Plus like you mentioned they customize them which is ok when a job needs to get done we often make sacrifices. And possibly invent something along the way LoL. Really liking your videos
@@donaldgay9501 I have some J H Williams wrenches here in England, and yes they’re very good tools. I bought them as part of a haul of two garden barrow loads for just £20, around $24?? I was like a kid in a candy store when I collected them.
Wrench, in America I would ask for a wrench. I knew what you kept calling it and that is what it is, but I always just called it a wrench , open wrench or closed wrench. But I do not tools, LOL I just know you kept calling it a spanner. I thought what do I call that? LOL just a bit of nonesense. Like trivia. I enjoyed your video!
@@TheUltimateRecycler I love to way you all speak there. It make it fun for me to guess the meaning of some words I also watch gold and opal hunter and some I really have a tough time figuring it out. Lol
Hi , there is a favor, watch Dylans terrible camp ground review on here. Turn on captions, he had some surgery and things when born. He is too funny, maybe drop a comment for him. It would be nice and he is so funny. Hope your doing well. Love to you and Christine.
From a viewer's perspective: if you produce three individual, shorter videos as opposed to one longer video, the shorter videos would each have a brief introduction and conclusion. So in terms of time (and no one seems to have much time theses days) and therefore content the longer videos may actually be more preferable? 😉
Hey Chris, that modified flat screwdriver at 9:20 has been used to adjust drum brakes prior to the automatically adjustable ones. So my guess on age is for a vehicle anywhere up to the mid-60s. I made something very very similar for my 1961 EK Holden.👍👍🫶
That rings a bell now that you've mentioned it Noddy! At one stage we had an XM ford ute on the farm and I may have even butchered a screwdriver myself for brake adjustment! 🤣
The longer videos are fine. I appreciate the detail. Thanks.
Thanks John, appreciate you watching and your feedback 😊👍
This was grand! I knew you had a good reason to take them to the new shed and not to the transfer station. It would be great to get an update on what was sold from the auction where you found the starbust clock.
Thanks! 😊 Ok - I will try and include an update on that deal at some stage. 👍
The tool with 2fingers and oblong slot is for removing and doing up caps and bungs on 44 gallon drums.
I don't remember a tool like that in this video Andrew, at what time?
Thanks for showing all of those to us and the discussion. It's surprising how many goodies come out of old sheds at estate sales that most people pass right by.
Thanks for watching T&T. Old sheds are pretty much full of goodies! 👌😊

Fantastic Gayle! It's always nice to hear what inspires people!! I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😊
That was quite interesting. Amazing how nicely they cleaned up and then your total value was way more than I would have thought. Thank you
Thanks Cynthia, yes the wire wheel did a pretty good job at quickly cleaning them up! Much more value than I thought as well!! 😲😁

That sounds an amazing box lot to go through! Enjoy the journey! 😊👍
Fascinating going through the old tools. Look forward to more. Enjoy the long format. 😁👍🧰
Thanks Geoff! You know I have plenty of boxes to deal with!!🙄😁
since discovering your channel and watching the great clean up, which was epic, i now follow christens home affairs and been watching sewing lol
Haha, that's great Shane! I told Christine and she said to send some pics of your sewing projects! 🤣
That wrench you have never seen is called a dog bone wrench very nice finds
Thanks Donald! I'd better not show it to Coco then! 😂
@@TheUltimateRecycler LoL probably not
WOW . That is quite a chunk of change . Take care
Thanks Dee! Yeah, not a bad total eh? 😊
Great video Chris, vintage tools are usually good value. Any chance you could show us your cleaning techniques and the type of wire wheel you use?
Thanks James - they certainly are popular in the shop. I just used a simply wire wheel in an old drill jammed in my bench vice!! It was a bit tricky with only one good arm!

@@heathernelson5426 A wire wheel isn't going to hurt a steel tool. I'll show the cleaning in the next tool unboxing I do (soon!) 😊
@@TheUltimateRecycler Thanks, Chris. You're the best!
That was really enjoyable Chris. I love old tools, and I would certainly keep the ones you mentioned to keep. Surprising how the value adds up. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it AF. Box lots of nearly anything have a surprising multiplication effect!
Love finding good tools
Yep for sure! 👍😊
That was a fun lot to look through Chris. Enjoyed the longer video as it was interesting.
Thanks Katrina! 😊👍

Yes Bruce, it certainly looks like that sort of tool. Too big for an angle grinder - so something larger maybe, where you are required to open a beer while operating!! 🤣🤣
The chisel in the last box is a Plugging chisel, for chopping out brick joints, and the moon spanner I know as a Banana spanner.
Thanks Alan, yes I've heard the term banana spanner (and I guess that's an obvious name!). Thanks for the other info 😊👍

Thanks Retif! 👍😊
Great video Chris! Timestamp 29.43 and 37.37 looks like an old angle grinder tool. Love seeing the unboxing mate 👍
Thanks Ross! Yes it does but it's way too large for an angle grinder..
@@TheUltimateRecycler okay, back to the drawing board
Can you update us when they sell.
Turning your estimates into real cash.
That would be really interesting.
After two days in the shop, I've sold $26 worth of this stuff so far Steve! I'll perhaps keep track of it and do a post on the community tab down the track! 👍😊

It may actually work for that Michael but I don't have any 44s left to try it on! Good luck with your move 👍😊
I was wondering if you found out that the tongs appear to be railroad spike tong for holding the spike by the head. Cool stuff
Thanks a good thought Randy! Thanks for watching 😊👍
Great haul there Chris, I'm keen on that army ammo box if your willing to sell?
Cheers!
Thanks Lucas. Yep, It's in a box to go into the shop shortly..
The super wrenches is from JH Williams and co Brooklyn New York late 30's mid 40's them are in great shape and do have good value I have quite a bit of them I love them and use them alot
Cool. I find a lot of early US made tools and they usually seem to be very good quality!

5:28 thats a ball joint fork, its the other version of a pickle fork. Again indicating this person worked in a front end suspension/oil change shop.
It does look like that type of thing, but it has been identified as a battery terminal removable tool. Thanks for watching Andrew 😊
4:44 thats called a dog bone and indicates that person worked in an oil change shop as thats where they are used.
Thanks Andrew! 👍😊
37:07 - The pliers are "HAPEWE" brand
I'm not familiar with that brand!
@@TheUltimateRecycler Either was I , until I researched my pair on Facebook tool collector groups. Have since found another pair.
That last unidentified tool looks like a "bung" wrench
Yeah Rick, I'm thinking you are correct there 👍

But I do not tools, LOL I just know you kept calling it a spanner. I thought what do I call that? LOL just a bit of nonesense. Like trivia. I enjoyed your video!
Hahaha, thanks SS. Sometimes I use the term wrench for an older style adjustable "spanner". Thanks for sharing your nonsense! 🤣👍
12:00 Thats not what its for that fork is FAR too big to be a battery terminal remover plus that tool is way to big. Its for ball joints.
Thanks for your input Andrew, but it is a battery terminal remover and it fits perfectly. I have used it since. Cheers mate..
Question when you said one of those tools was nothing (flash) does that mean nothing (special)?
Yes Wayne! I guess you can speak Australian now!! 😆😆

Thanks SS - we are doing pretty well 😊 I'll have a look when I get a chance 👍
Id rather have the modified tools
Personal choice I guess. I have modified tools in the past and will probably again! 👍😊
Watching these videos are dangerous. It gives me the itch to go buy buckets of old tools. But I don't have a store to sell them at. 🤗
Haha. Pray to the scrap gods and they will come to you. Literally by the bucketful
It's also dangerous because I keep more than I should, as Ian would understand!!
That’s not a modified screwdriver that’s an intentional pry bar
Quite possibly! Thanks for watching 😊👍
My problem is knowing what price to put on items.
Ebay completed items usually gives a pretty good guide..
@@TheUltimateRecycler Thank u.
