Facebook - $25 + 20 shipping

Starrett 224 interchangeable anvil micrometer kit that covers 2" - 6". These are still sold today, new, the best price that I've seen online is $589.




I had a 0 - 1" Starret already. And I think I bought a Lufkin 1" - 2" micrometer for $10-15.

Was channeling my inner Baz this week and picked up a really nice Workmate workbench from the alley. Few days later, there was a Netspresso machine behind the same residence. Used but in the original box.
Workmate works great but needs a few more dogs.
Netspresso has not been tried yet but all the parts seem to be there.

Tires are 3-4 years old, so I’ll be replacing them soon. He’s going to replace some rusty bolts, reinstall the tire rack, parts and fix a couple of electrical items.

I think it’s a good buy and I will always get my money back.

Good deal!!!

$100 off marketplace, never used.

From a member here, $110 shipped for the pair

As I mentioned in the "tool storage" thread, missed out on a nice Craftsman tool cart that was on FB MP. Seller never responded to me - even though I committed to buy it - full asking price - cash.

As Bruce Hornsby says.......that's just the way it is.

But......this morning as I was taking my newest e-bike out to stretch her legs a bit, a couple blocks over I see a nice patio table curbside. U-turn back home to grab the Silverado.

This thing is nice! Plexiglass top and aluminum frame, I think. Still has her rubber shoes!

Now you need a mill and a lathe.

Sold a peavey amp today on marketplace for 20 bucks the guy was ecstatic. It needed a speaker and a few other parts. I got it for free from my neighbors mouse infested shed so it would have been in a dumpster right now. He said he had been here a few times before buying boat motors from me lol. My main score this week was a Handyman Harrah farm jack from my other neighbors barn I got for free aswell. Works better than the modern high lift jacks i have even though its all packed with crud. Im helping clean up the property for sale soon.

Picked up this blower from Mom's neighborhood a couple months ago.

Finally today decided to take a look.

Fuel tank was empty....a good sign. Everything else looked good.

Heck....let's put some fuel in it and see what happens.

Crickey....she started right up and ran perfectly! Strongly even I would say.

Nice!

Nice score Baz but the pic above is why I hate 2 cycle stuff. It should not be that complicated to start an internal combustion engine.

Funny thing Jack....is I didn't go through all those steps. Just pushed the primer bulb in a few times....put the lever on CHOKE....and pulled the rope. She started up after maybe the third pull.

My other hand held power equip is Echo 2 cycle and some of those things start on the first pull w/choke on. Then I just take the choke off and go.

Having spent a life in landscaping has probably gotten you pretty good with gasoline powered tools. I am a 4 cycle guy. I have had a couple 2 cycle weedeaters but no more. May go for a battery string trimmer this year.

I hear ya, Jack. 2 cycle have their share of problems but yeah I've had them for so many years it's ridiculous. Used to sell them for ~10 years too....private labeled Echo. They're in my blood!

Hey they make some pretty good battery tools these days!

$15 on Facebook market place

[Rusty Heap]

$500 SCORE.

Pneumatic Scissor lift rated at 6000 pounds. 24" lift. I loaded my ATV in the truck bed backwards and used the winch to skid the heavy as heck 1000+ pound lift onto my trailer..............as I said, only $500. Will work SWEET on my SxS and low rider Porsches.

Got it home and my Mid Size Kubota tractor could barely lift it off.....heavy heavy. Thanks for your assistance Mr Higgins

YES! YES!

Found a nearly new snowboard in the dumpster at my brothers work. and a pair of m/t valve covers in my neighbors abandoned garage that is just a foundation full of debris and trash in the middle of an overgrown field full of sticker bushes.

[porsche930dude]

This is how its done. I just put all this junk out at the curb and posted it to fb. It will be gone in a few hours.
