Picked this up the other day at the Restore (along with another square - sorry Dave ).    11 cm long

 

That is sweet.  I buy things like that just because.  Love it.

Pretty cool...never seen one like that...I would have snagged it too. Stopped by our local store today...almost nothing in tools anymore...it's more like a second hand furniture store now...bedroom sets, must have had 6 or 8 dining tables...reorganized again and removed several more gondolas so not many smalls...did get a couple of nice, near new files for 50 cents each...10" mill bastard with a handle & 8" triagular; both appear to be Nicholson...both stamped USA..I could read that anyways.

  ...that's OK Pete...you might just have saved me from therapy or divorce court.

Neat find, P-Toad.

I've been spending a lot of time in the tools dept at ours and we get a fair amount donated (10 pairs tin snips and 10 hammers last week; all from one guy i think); lots of other stuff coming in, too.  We're lucky and grateful to have the wonderful donors who give so much to Habitat.  Almost everyone at the store is a volunteer so we're only open on Saturday to the public.  Other stores around us are open more days, but they have paid personnel (as do, apparently, most of the Restores around the country).

 

Good find on the US made files, @Grandpadave52

Mostly what we get at our Restore is contractor overs. Maybe they can get more off their tax than what the credit from the stores would come to..

And with the tax law changes this year i'm not sure that there will be much available to most for charitable deduction, but we'll just have to wait and see...
