I would love to restore those old side cutters @8:20.. I would buff them out and put new grips on them.. they would be looking perfect and I'd use them at work..
Paul, I have a secondhand shop and these type of tools almost fly out the door at the quoted prices! Ebay is very good for some brands, especially Australian made Sidchrome spanners. Also I know a few guys who do very well at markets & car boot sales with mechanics tools. Even at a garage sale, many people would not consider buying a whole toolbox full - but would happily hand over $5 for a certain size spanner for their needs. Thanks for watching 🙂
Yeah, I am surprised how much people pay for such used stuff in Australia. The priced he paid for entire toolbox seems fair, but selling individual wrenches of medicore brands with rust would rarely be possible across the pond. These kind of stuff just gets bundled. Unless you're selling big name brands.
When we skip hardening process we can easily make tool business very profitable, but we loose quality and credibility too. We have to choose between quality and money.

@@TheUltimateRecycler Also the Dowidat tools in Australia of this era were made in Sydney IIRC, not Germany, which is pretty interesting. There was some good info on Garage Journal I think IIRC.

Yes, very good quality cutters there! Thanks for watching David 👍😊
This video is great and very useful. I would love to see more tool videos
I'm doing a shed lot at the moment with some nice antique tools! Will probably do a separate video on it 👍
Nice I’m very exited!
I love doing buys like these
Me too! Some old tool boxes are real treasure chests!! 😁
You can put a value on anything you want all day long....
But where and when are you actually going to sell these

@@OscarHanzely Having a shop helps Oscar as I can wait for the right people. Yep, things like this often get bundled at garage sales and auctions 👍
@@OscarHanzely I agree, I would have pulled a few out and made an offer.

Choosing quality should benefit any business in the long run!

🤣🤣🤣 Great accent! Looks like you are a shoe-in for the next Mick Dundee 😉😀
The W in Dowidat sounds like a v. Try saying Dovidat.
Ahh.. thanks Warren, I didn't know that! :)
