What Did You Buy Today?

There is a pile of those things hiding in my garage....

Only 2 things worse ......................external snap rings and master link clips . Little SOB's would jump off my tool cart before I could even get my hands on them .

I can think of a few places such things live indoors at home... That and ball bearings.

Some import gauge blocks and pin gauges.





And, a large level…..





A guy at work had these, belonged to his uncle. He has a bunch more stuff to get rid of so I’ll be posting it here soon.

Not that I can get anything from you if I were interested (I am tooooo far away), but what is it all?

Each small box contains an assortment of items related to each other. For example one will have metric bolts from 4 to 8 mm in different lengths. The next might have up to 12 mm and so on. Another box may have metric nuts in different sizes then a box of washers in different sizes. There is also the same type of assortments of standard dimension nuts, bolts and washers.

Several boxes have auto small lights bulbs. For many that would be worthless, for me I have 9 classic autos that use them.

This is a small example of what is in them.

Ordered another NOGA Big Boy from All Industrial, already a great price, but (I thought) I had a 15% "Come-Back" coupon to make it even better; unfortunately, I thought today was the 15th, which was the last day for 15%, but a call to Sales got me a 10% code, so just under $150 with tax (free shipping over $75):


I had a brain fart, and decided to see what it would be without the mag base (I plan on putting it on a clamp anyway) – cheaper to buy with the base:


And out of stock, anyway. NOGA also makes a 4" Kant-Twist™ style clamp, but it was out of stock, too:


Somewhat pricey, but a 4" kit from Doug Gray costs $65 with shipping, but MSC has one they say is "Kant-Twist" (but is a Mag-Mate in the description) for $30 on eBay with free shipping, so I'll probably give that a shot.

Does that mean you’ll be able to find something when I visit?

Those $5 minimum bids are sure hard to pass up...
