Hi Brian, awesome to hear from you as always my friend. I was pretty happy to get those gilbrows as I have the full size ones and I like using them even though I have aviation snips. There’s no equal to quality British and American tools. Cheers mate, Stuart.
Incredible tool haul! I had an odd job removing items from a garage/shop of a wood worker who had passed and his daughters were selling his house. They wanted to pay me to remove everything and I ended up with a lot of tools. Couldn't take the payment, the tools were the payment. they were going to be tossed. Your haul is just unbelievable! Top quality too. Congratulations on the haul and saving tools from the bin!
Great haul. In my town we have a "Swap Shed" at the Transfer Station(town dump). I have picked up many tools there including a 12" x 48" wood lathe, A 10" radial arm saw, and many other tools and tool boxes. What happens is that as the old timers die, their children and grandchildren have no interest in doing things with their hands. Its all just junk to them. The men that work at the transfer station direct people to put tools in the shed. I've rescued other tools as people were getting ready to throw them into the scrap steel bin. Good Video. Good Luck, Rick
Good to see you rescue those tools from landfill. And thanx for not going the advertising path, it makes YT so annoying waiting for the interruptions to end
Hi Cactus and thanks. I know what you mean, I hated the adds so much I pay the $15 a month for premium which means no adds and I can download the good videos. I’ve given up completely on commercial tv so I feel I get good value for my $15. Cheers mate, Stu👍👍
@@scroungasworkshop4663 Silly me, I didn't know one could subscribe to remove the adv's and to be able to download a video - I will have to go that way myself
What an amazing haul at any price! But to get it all for free is the stuff dreams are made of! It could not have happened to a better guy. I am sure the man who passed away would be happy for his tools to go where they are appreciated rather than thrown away.
Hi Dale, I always say free money is good but free tools is good too, especially high quality ones😂. A lot of people seem very happy for me and that makes sharing my luck worthwhile. Thanks, Stuart.
Hi Joe, I like to think it was karma balancing the scales. We were involved in one of those horrific fatal car accident that only happen to someone else and this was one of those unbelievable giveaways that only happens to someone else.😂😂 Cheers and thanks for commenting.
WOW!! That is so fantastic. First- hats off to that guy for advertising this so that people can use all this great tooling instead of just going to a landfill. I am so glad that you found out about this and was able to save all those awesome tools. Congratulations... When you live a good life I believe good things happen to you. =D
Yes they can be used for Scotchloc crimps… however they are actually for telephone joint crimps…. Yellow ones like that are generally GPO or BT (General Post Office or British Telecom) issue…. These are found on UK based Telephone systems.The course open cut file you show is a Dreadnought File or Milleni Cut file they can be used on wood but generally used for Aluminium as it does not clog up
very interesting and a nice video, you've got some great finds. I may be wrong but I'm guessing that last file you showed is for soft metals and wood and plasterboard.
We very seldom are fortunate enough to run across deals like this... Haven't seen any thread files in a long time..They issued us 2 of them when we were in the military (Jet engine mechanic)..lots of cool stuff.. Thx for bringing us along, and take care... Gary Jones 1951...
Hi Garry, are you Wally or related to Wally? Now you had an interesting job. I was really excited to get the thread files as they’re something I need from time to time when restoring tools. Thanks for the comments, cheers Stuart.
@@scroungasworkshop4663 No I'm not Wally, just happen to have the same last name and born the same year.. Yep it was interesting, and those thread files come in handy a few times on bolts with buggered up threads.. I would have loved to been with you when you made that haul.. I used to have an entire workshop, but it's gone now except for a few tools.. Well enough rambling on from me, and thx again for bringing us along.. Take care my friend...
@@garyjones2582 Absolutely, it would have been great to have another enthusiast to share with, we’d have had a party 🎊. Take care of yourself too Gary. Cheers Stuart.
Great find, mate. Generous of him giving all away for free. That's probably what's gonna happen to a lot of us one day... kids would have no use for any stuff we've collected through the years 🤣
Hi Little Restorers, unfortunately that’s probably true. I started a spreadsheet with my workshop contents so when the inevitable happens my family has some idea of what to sell things for. I have also made it clear I don’t want them keeping stuff just for sentimental reasons. Cheers and thanks for commenting.
I've seen this happen before. You just about cry when you find out what has been trashed. My late friend was German and had worked for the Norton motorcycle race department. His son inherited the house and sent then his entire workshop to the scrap yard. Loss of the tools and equipment was bad enough, but things like Norton and Matchless close ratio racing gearboxes went to the skip. So, there is something worse than having your tools and machines sold off to someone who can make use of them.
Hey Aceroadholder, what a terrible thing to happen, I just shake my head in disbelief. I agree, I would rather have my stuff given away rather than it go in a skip. Cheers 👍👍
The aluminium disc with the mid line impregnation and the steel disc with the rear face imprecation might be D Bit grinder wheels. Good haul, hope it all gets used, I love the stuff.
Super Nice! Love that little oiler! Hardest thing to do is give something away FREE here in the States.... You can put something out on the road with a sign that says FREE and no one will take it - Write $10.00 on it and it will be gone in seconds LOL - Good Stuff, Sir!
Hi Big Vic and thanks for commenting. It’s exactly the same here in Australia, if it’s free then it must be rubbish but if it has a price tag then it must be worth stealing😂😂😂. Cheers mate, Stuart.
Incredible , I see the first bit with the pliers and thought yeah not bad .. then wow more to come .... History to with the wally Jones , wow you got some amazing quality items . Stamps are always good. Eclipse even better ..... Wow , unbeatable tool haul for the price 😂 😅😂
Another great vid Stuart , isn’t it a shame to see good old tools we’re going to be thrown in to a skip bin glad you could save them. Just wondering how long did it take to get over your wrist fusion and how you manage with no wrist movements I am going in for a partial fusion in a couple months due to just getting old Cheers Mark
Hi Mark, yes it is sad but that’s life these days. Hopefully I’ve made enough preparations for when my family has to do the same thing. Actually once the operation was done the recovery was reasonably quick and easy. I had a wrist brace to hold everything together while it healed and went in for therapy treatment once a week, I think, just to help with scarring and and stopping the scared area adhering to the bones. Surprisingly it’s not as dramatic as I thought it would be. I can still do most things like drive, tie my shoes ect but it’s little things I’m still discovering that are difficult/ frustrating eg dealing cards, putting a key in the front door, reaching into tight spots or using my hands in a confined area. If it had been my left, non primary, wrist it would be less of a problem. My memory of the operation is a little vague as I was recovering from surgery to my left shoulder at almost the same time, the rotator cuff was torn off the bone, and recovery from that, although it went perfectly is a lot more complicated and painful than the wrist. I was still recovering from the more major injuries from the car accident as well so I wasn’t a happy camper. The good news is my wife and I both survived, obviously, but the two drugo’s that hit us head on both died. My wrist and shoulder are both pain free now so those surgeries had their desired outcome and I can still tinker to my heart’s content. Good luck with your operation, I’d like to hear how you get on. Cheers from someone that is grateful for everyday no matter the weather😂
Thanks Stuart for the reply as my wrist has been stuffed for 2 years most of my tools have just gathered dust , I am a woodworker a heart but have to say like all shops wood or metal. I worked in a lathe shop for over 15 years making bearings for the timken bearings company. It a shame that a lot off the old hand tool are not getting made any more as most engineering shops are all c n c. More about computer skills and programming than using your hand , That so the younger ones won’t wear out there body like us . I will let you know how it goes with the operation. Thanks Mark.
@@markpearson2085 That’s so true Mark. Like you I appreciate any workshop but unlike you I lean hard to the metal work side only doing woodwork when I have to. Good luck with the wrist operation and I’ll be keen to get an update. 👍👍👍
Hey Stuart, good to see you again mate . I hope you accept this with all respect intended…but, you tinny bastard!! What a score!!! Your eyes must’ve been like dinner plates..or those copper discs haha, when you saw what was there. I had bit of a woo hoo moment when you showed the Rega oil can. I’ve just resto’d one, the exact same!! It’s 98% completed. Just need to fit a new O ring. The original one is buggered, I think it’s a leather or a stiff cork type gasket. I’ve been keeping an eye out on MP for an old weightlifting belt….I saw someone restore an Estwing hammer handle once 😁 and the weight belt is a great idea ( although the size of the O ring suggests it’s a bit of overkill lol). Anyway Stuart, keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing how some of that stuff gets utilised in your future works. Cheers, Ian.
Hi Ian, of course I get your remark😂 I’m an Aussie too! There were certain tools that really added to my excitement and that Rega was one of them. It now sit on a shelf right above my workbench and I don’t know why but I really admire it and the fact it’s in perfect condition. Of course it gets used but they’ll have to pull that one out of my cold, dead hands before I’ll ever part with it. Any way I can see your restored Rega? My email is stuart.leanne@gmail.com Cheers and thanks so much for commenting.
@@scroungasworkshop4663 Hi Stuart….apologies for the late reply….had a big few days work wise. Mate!! Absolutely. I’ll get some stuff sorted out and send some pics. 👍
Absolutely phenomenal. It’s a crazy world, why not get lucky every once in a while.

Nice haul. Those broaches at 9:05 are for cutting pentagonal holes, first you drill a small round hole and then push the broach through.

Thank you Bob, and I will try to keep safe. Cheers mate, Stuart.👍👍
The pliers are sealed electrical crimp pliers and the rods with the stone on the end are grinding stone dressers…at least that’s what I use mine for.😊
e-9y are for Scotchloc moisture resistant connectors (edit spelling)
