Scored some Bridge City tools at the Habitat store yesterday.  Felt really lucky.  When I went to pay for them the girl asked what those were and said a guy had brought two earlier.  Made me feel like I missed out on something.  Anyway I'm happy with these at $21.00 for all three.

 

 

OK. this one is a HUGE "YOU SUCK".

Dan I have to find our what kind of mask you are using so I can try that,

Great score! Did you wear a mask?

Makes me wish there was a habitat store near me.

Might explain the reports of a man wearing a joker mask with tools under his arm.  

 

NICE score though!!!

What the others said!

My goodness, once a lifetime for sure! Great hunting Dan!

So, how do they feel? How's the action, and the heft, and the smell, what do they smell like, ooooh awwww.

And they call me a Bandit?

...I've never thought about smelling my finds.......Maybe doing so would be something like...

…."I love the smell of old grease, and sawdust in the morning."

I didn't detect any smell but they sure feel good in hand.  Smooth working and has the weight you'd expect a good tool to have.

That is so cool, just looking at them I can see and feel the heft, love it!

If we have another get together, will you donate them as a door prize...like the Windriver plane?

All I've seen is hammers with loose heads and screwdrivers with chipped tips.

 

I did come across this Disston hand saw once, and bought it. The tag says $5, but they have a sale (most of the time) where the green tagged items are 50% off, so I paid $2.50. I'm not a handtool guy, I just wanted this hang in the shop. I had it sharpened and cleaned a little of the rust off, works fine.

 I knew I should have followed him after he left my place, he had that look.

I guess that's better than space cowboy. 

 

Really nice score.   Haven't seen anything quite that nice trotting in the door at our Restore. 

Sometimes..I actually USE these things..

Hmmm, I guess I should have polished it up...for it's "close-up"...

Our local restore rarely produces much that is that nice!  Sweet find!
