Lakeland has a good one. Not quite next door to you but it's got a lot of tools. Silver Moon Drive-In Theater. Sunday is the big day and you need to get there early. 7:30am is good. I go to that one and then the Plant City one every few weeks. I always fond a lot.

​@floridarusticrepairs I really appreciate it, I'm always looking for good tools. Thanks

Thanks! I wonder how many people use that electric shaving lotion to remove adhesives.

@floridarusticrepairs I don't know, I will from now on

I guess I’ll have to add that to the shop

I use isopropyl alcohol for this type thing. Awesome, Mugsy supervising from his wireless charger!!

Easiest way to fix LED hyperflash in these by changing out your flasher. ua-cam.com/video/q9DkWHd8l4w/v-deo.html

@floridarusticrepairs thank you bro

Thanks!

I hear it works great if you've got glue on your face. 🤣

Thanks! All of the China and India tools go in bins. I keep them but do not usually try to build sets with them to donate. I have quite a few now and occasionally find a use for them but I don't donate them off to anyone unless I know it's a decent brand. I've found some interesting uses for them sometimes. :)

the socket with the black plastic ring is likely a Craftsman. You can rip off the plastic and the roll-stamping is underneath.

@ Thanks for the info! I've got it in a bin of unknowns but I'll retrieve it and see.

Yes. mostly a mishmash. Not great haul but OK. The sockets will help me complete pother sets.

@@floridarusticrepairs I probably would have paid much the same to be honest.

And a lot more. :)

Likely the switch knob has a set screw. it's possibly hidden by a small plug in the knob. I think most of these later Westinghouse fans had a screw on fastener to hold the switch in place.

Yes, they dim just like regular bulbs.

Thanks for the info!

Modern vehicles are crazy with complexity. I can't imagine most of them reaching 20 years old with all of this technology.

I did do a very slow pull but it didn't seem to make much difference. Maybe it's the Florida humidity. :) Likely it's my impatience.

Thanks! That's a good point about using it in small spaces. Considiering the surprising amount of power this has the lack of grip space makes little sense otherwise.

Thanks! I do work with some kids to show them how to rebuild these. I let them keep the tools when they're done. Some of them actually use them like they're not antiques. Any kids who want to really put the drills to work are also given a more modern/practical drill to keep with it. Most of these old drills aren't even reversible.

Thanks! I've found that almost all of these old drills can be brought back with a little effort.

Thanks! Looks good in the old Craftsman wall box too.

Thanks! Funny you mention the paint. I've wondered why it was that some of these were painted and others are polished. It may be that painting was just an option or to differentiate the models. I have no idea.

@ I know I started using them in the 70s. I remember some didn’t have paint, I think my father had a 60s 3/8 that didn’t have paint. I know I used a bunch of 3/8, 1/2 and 3/4 in the 80s and some did and some didn’t. I don’t know.

@ I prefer the polished look but maybe the paint added more grip so before they switched to plastic and rubber they used painted metal.

Apparently I took too long so he took a nap.

@ lolol I hope he didn’t think you were a slacker! Lol. Mine aren’t afraid of hard work, they can down beside it and sleep for hours.

@ I had an orange tabby cat named Nacho who was a fearless companion for the first few months of my channel and is in most of my videos from then. Nothing phased him and he was always by my side with Mugsy when I was working on something. Mugsy doesn't like it when I use power tools but Nacho didn't mind at all.

Yes! I think I say it in every video. I love their dry lube for motors but I wish they'd take the WD-40 label off of the can or at least make it smaller. Maybe even change the color of the can. It can be confusing for a newbie.

Thanks! This one has a surprising amount of power for such a small household drill.

Yes. He was with me all through this one. 😺

Thanks! It's a great drill but if it gets caught up it's going to come out of your hand for sure.

Very nice clean up! Looks good in the display box. Thanks for sharing

I had to paraphrase my original comment. 😉

Hopefully you can get them interested in building or repairing things and then they'll appreciate the tools. It's a struggle nowadays.

Thanks for the info! I've been wondering about that. They both now have a home on the wall in my workshop.

Thanks! this was a good haul.

Thanks for the info! I'm a certified electronics technician but home wiring is a different animal. not complex for the most part but there are a lot of little practices which you pointed out that I've never been trained on. Before i was filming youtube videos I installed an NOS one of these from ebay into the upstairs bathroom ceiling where one had long since been removed. Fortunately i had a wiring diagram in the box because these are quite tricky. Ironically, after working on this other one I went back and disconnected the heater in that one as well. The third one in the house is still all hooked up as original and I have not touched it. The heater works but for the most part is useless even in FL. The fan just doesn't create enough airflow in that drum to do more than heat up the unit. Still, these are awesome looking so I'd never remove them. I just wish there was a modern equivalent that looked as good.

@ I was glad to find your video as I had searched several times overtime the years to learn more about how it was installed and was wondering if there was any method to vent external, obviously one could engineer it but keeping functional heat would muddy the water there too. I really need to vent both bathrooms outside but installing a separate unit really makes more sense than modding these. Tho you unhooked yours if they are properly installed and wired they really aren’t unsafe but I would replace the interior wiring with fresh 75 or 100C wire. The elements themselves are pretty bulletproof if not beat around and well connected. I would also put each unit on a separate circuit breaker and ensure adequate wiring supply size. Always fun learning new things and challenging the noodle😊

I mean, it's valuable to me but most people wouldn't see it that way. Are you a fellow Craftsman fan?

Thanks for the info! I had no idea.

Glad you found it helpful!

I know this is likely comedy gold but without a time stamp I don't know what you mean. :(

Thanks for watching.It turned out to be a good sale.

Absolutely! I used one just yesterday when I was restoring the Black and Decker polisher I got from an estate sale.

@@floridarusticrepairs Now that's what I'm talkin' about!! 😄

Buenas tardes y felicidades por un vídeo de buscar herramientas a un buen precio estos son los vídeos que si valen la pena er Fernando reyes desde Anzoátegui Venezuela

@@fernandojosereyesmartinez Hola y gracias a un fan en venezuela

Possibly several others over the years too. :)

Thanks! I did closed cell insulation on the ceiling and walls and then installed 1/2" birch cabinet plywood with 2 coats of Helmsman spar urethane for the paneling. It really makes the shop feel like more than a regular metal building.

I think other tool handles will fit. Not all of them had the wooden handle from the factory either.

If you can't locate a set screw let me know. I think I have some spares in one of my tool boxes.

It's an odd little saw but seems to work fine as a cross between a jigsaw and sawzall. Good luck with your restoration!

lol! I did not buy that one. I think I've got one from another tool haul. It's an early ratcheting driver as far as I recall. I didn't know it was from the 1970's. Wow!

He's usually around unless he finds something better to do. :)

I think the cart was likely the most valuable thing in this haul and I gave it away to Tyron. :)

@ always take care of true friends, they are rare

@ Totally.

Thanks! I think Kennedy did make for Craftsman. They look identical except for badging.

I haven't tested that yet. I wonder if replacement tips are available.

Yes. I just need to figure out a close paint match. I'm thinking a dark bronze hammered.
