Kennedy Toolbox

A few weeks back I went to a garage sale. In the Craigslist ad he listed machinist tools, but you had to ask. When I got there asked him about them, and he showed them to me and priced them out. Little bit more than I had at the time, but he offered his number for me to call and check when I had the funds. I called this weekend and went and went and got them today. The auctions slowed down a bit and left me the extra funds for it. I took a quick glance when I first looked at it, but nothing in depth. I knew the boxes were worth what he was asking for them. I got the boxes home today, and was really surpirsed. I got one of those killer deals, and I am very happy. Actually got a few things I really needed, and alot of things that are nice to have, but dont want to spend excess money on. Here's the photos.





















Really happy with this buy. Filled in alot of empty slots in tools, and things I want but could not see spending the funds presntly.

I've got a 3/8" Albrecht chuck like that that came with my mill. It doesn't look pristine like your's but I use it every day and really like it.

Congrats on your dynamo score! :thumbzup3:

Congrats on your dynamo score! :thumbzup3:

It cloned itself while I was sorting out the stuff and making notes. There are two in there. I am really suprised at the quality of some of the stuff in the box. There is an israeli made toolmakers vise also.

Shame about that clip on the tail of the Mitutoyo caliper. Make sure you dont snag the tail and bend it. Best to fix it
Great score though!

Cheers Phil

Great score! No junk shown in those pics, I'm guessing the guy was in the trade in the early 80's from the Mitutoyo tools shown. That plastic clip on the caliper is an easy fix, mine broke last year too. Not bad for 30+ year old plastic.
