Yes, definitely send your brother some that I know he can use. I recently sent him a retractable test wire reel that gives 30 inches of a red/black wires that I know he will use to connect a missing coil wire to the battery. If you are interested even I could use whatever you don't want or would be willing to purchase any tools you would like to sell.
Mine as well. I remember when I first found out what was involved I walked back out to my Suburban and told my wife, "This is going to take a while." :)
Enjoyed the video and am looking forward to part 2. Depending on condition, the boxes could be worth 500 empty. Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan
Thanks! Once I saw how many boxes were included I just paid the man without even looking inside for that very reason. You can't find three sets of these, especially with one of the middle boxes for $500 let alone with all of the tools. Lots more in part 2 for sure. Happy Easter!
Over the last couple years I've been posting videos with super deals (smaller...but still give away prices). I realized what was actually happening. People were selling 600 and 800 thousand dollar homes that they purchased just a decade ago for 300......the box of tools I would buy had nearly no significance to them. The Realtors would rush the cleaning out of the house....time is of the essence.
Exactly what happened here. Can't delay selling a house because of some "junk" in the garage. Sad, but at least in this case it all went to someone who appreciates it.
Wow, where do I start? The only person with a collection like that is you! That set of tiny wrenches are ignition wrenches, and that is a huge set of them. That round chrome thing is a fuel pressure regulator for carburetors. Definitely worth keeping on hand for old vehicles. I have never seen an aluminum plumbing wrench. Maybe for electrical pipe? Was that a "Remove before flight" tag on the tool box key ring? Put that on your Camaro keys. Finally, I noticed you found some Rockford sockets. Were there any matching files?
Total sensory overload. What really caught my eye was was the collection of wood handled braces. I hope you got some of the bits too. I'm eagerly awaiting part 2 of this haul.
Since you have the boxes, uppers and lowers, I recommend cleaning and painting while you are running the tools through the solutions and create you a drawer for pliers, wrenches, ratchets, screwdrivers, etc. That way, as you get the tools clean, you can put them into a clean drawer to help the sorting and hopefully, one day, organization. Nice haul.
Good points. I'll be sorting all of this out soon. For now I just loaded up two other boxes and kept a lot of it in bins. I don't think I'll need to repaint any of the main boxes because they're decent enough so clean up should be easy.
I got a cool grey and red set that I painted up recently. Those are my favorites and the grey is easily painted with hammered paint. Do you happen to know what spray can color would be a match for the red on these 1980's boxes? @@michaelsurratt9593
@@floridarusticrepairs I watched that video and that was part of what gave me the idea. I don’t know what color was but I had a set, so long ago. Red with black drawers.

This is what happens when parents pass away and the kids inherit their possessions. The kids usually think it's junk and give it away. It's actually sad.
True. In this case I think it was more about him living in California and needing to get the house ready to sell.before my father died he donated a lot of his tools to a local vocational school. I got very little of what he had because I had moved out of state unfortunately.
its a body file (im a automotive refinisher ).. can also be used with lad .. the bosch probably still can get replacement parts and brushes if u know the model number
Thanks! I've already been able to trade some of the power tools for building materials but for sure I'll be keeping some of this for my retirement fund. :)
I showed up at a tool free pile that had a couple of small boxes and a tote of goodies. The owner said "There is another trailer full of stuff" I wound up with my truck so overloaded it was almost dragging the bumper on the ground. The guys father was a police dept mechanic and had triples of everything. After I cleaned the tools I sold them for $300. The kids kept all the Snap On stuff. I arrived at another free pile and the guy said "We are moving. We have a barn full of free stuff" This time I had my trailer. I got a lawn tractor, a grinder and a whole bunch of gardening supplies that my wife was most grateful to have. As usual I was maxed out on gross tonnage. These were two instances of the ad did not reflect what was really there.
LOL I think I saw this same post on Market-Place. Glad to see someone picked it up. This is sometimes the BEST way to get good tools for cheap, you find someone who maybe had a death in the family and the kids are left to deal with all the tools and they just want to get rid of them and you can get a real nice deal.
I agree. Its a sad situation for the family involved but I ended up helping the guy out after and went and had a few beers with him the following weekend. I don't think I'll ever get a better deal than this.
@@floridarusticrepairs Yea it can be overwhelming on the family to figure out what to do with all the things left behind. I look at it as you both are helping each other out in a bad situation. i do not have the money to buy a lot of tools new or used so I have been looking for used tools online and came across that same post. Glad to see everything worked out for both of you guys.
Some of those old tools really put the 'rust' in rustic. 😉 I am looking forward to Part ii when we learn the back story. I hope you kept the Porter-Cable trim saw.
@@floridarusticrepairsIf you have any time to spare, I just found a web site called The Syracuse Project which has been created by a true expert on Porter-Cable tools.
That is a cool site. He's got a circular saw very similar to one I restored recently. I think he'll be a great resource. Thanks for the tip! @@rightlanehog3151
The Porter-Cable trim saw is still the one tool that I don't have in my collection. Funny...but cords are out of style so patience will find it. Great video!
@@floridarusticrepairsI am glad you like it. With approximately 68 Porter-Cable saws in his collection, it does not surprise me that he has one similar to your 146B. I have only scratched the surface of The Syracuse Project. His collection is impressive, his knowledge is encyclopedic and he is very articulate in his communication.
Well that’s what would have happened with my mother house if my sister was running the show. I lost a HF drill press and a few screw driver to a squatter that moved in. But I moved out the toll box stack and anything worth also lost the air tools he was A development engineer at Northrop and had a huge assortment of Air Tools that he was give to test but without property tags. A lot of klcnikos. His tool box was delivered by company truck as is their practice with all retires.
Glad you were able to save the tool box! I would have loved to get my father's box but he was in MA and I was in FL so it wasn't practical. Instead he donated most of it to a local vocational school.
Congratulations from your most recent subscriber - great haul. Love the quiet way you talk about the stuff - could watch all day - I probably have watched a full day over the past few weeks when I have been off word!!
Dinner was fine. :) I had to force myself to talk about something other than this haul but she knew I had to buy it. I just subscribed to your channel. Looks like we have something in common.
Sir, do you have an email? I am repainting a bottom door of a 76’ craftsman bottom box. It is a DARK GREY. I bought a can of charcoal gray, and it was way too light. Do you happen to know what color spray paint matches that really dark gray color in the 1970s craftsman toolboxes. It’s just a shade under black and I’ve not been able to find a can of spray paint that matches that color so now I’m stuck with one door, that is a different color than the rest thank you and keep these great videos coming! If you have the email, I’ll send you a picture of what I’m talking about. Thanks.
Hi, I think the Rustoleum spray paint color you're looking for is called Deep Slate. Amazon sells it if you can't find it locally. Good luck with the restoration! email is: floridarusticrepairs@gmail.com.
@@phillipmartin273 What the son told me was that he had put a 460 with headers into it and therefore had a problem with the steering column that he was trying to work through. If it's like the rest of the things in the house I would bet he let it go cheap.
If the boxes are beat up I restore them. if not, I use them for storage of all sorts of things like fasteners, parts and things. A lot of the tools i donate. I have traded some for help but I don't generally sell any of it. It's more like a hobby. I try to get people interested in working with their hands and so I will build sets out of a lot of this and donate it out. In the case of this haul I traded my friend Tyrone a lot of the power tools for his help in replacing an 8x8 beam on my carport. He traded the beam and his expertise and help.
I donate a lot of what i don't want. Sometimes I trade things out but I haven't begun to outright sell things. Is there something in particular you were interested in?
Are you looking for a set or a certain size. I don't think I've got a set of those yet but I've been putting all of the ones I find in a drawer together. I'm close to having a set I think. Glad to meet a fellow vintage Craftsman fan. @@josuetoledo5474

The Dewalt grinder has a Die grinder wheel on it. It's used for surfacing concrete.
