This is an awesome video!!!! I am a sucker for craftsman hand tools!! Still feel like a kid that went to sears to get craftsmen tools when I find them at sales!!!!!!!
I bought one of those Black & Decker aluminum housing jigsaws recently, you may want to try it out before you sell it, you may reconsider and keep it, they run really smooth
The Vermont American tap is a triple tap tool, usually an electrician carries one. The 3 sizes most common sizes on switch boxes etc. By the way are you going to the West Jefferson swap meet?
Some people do that on purpose to discourage those who want to steal or take the sockets. Basically so the owner can identify his socket lol. All my snap on stuff is marked so I know it is mine.
I have never marked a tool, but I only worked in shop 3 years. I figured the time it would take to mark 1000 tools would not be worth the money it would take to replace a few that walk away. If I did mark a tool it would be a stamp so it is consistent and it would be a place that doesn't make it look like you $500 wrench set is worth $50.
I understand, depending on where you work this may be a good idea. I personally rather buy the ones that walk because they may never come back, than to scar my tools like this owner did. Just has to be a cleaner way to do it. Thanks for watching!

I miss going to Sears and looking at all the tools! Harbor Freight is just not the same 😃 Thanks for watching!

Good advice! I will try it out. Thanks for watching!
Those Proto extractors are about $150 new, so that was a great deal.
I didn't realize it was that much! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the info! I will be at the Jefferson Wisconsin swap meet next week if the weather holds up. Thanks for watching!
Could you make a video of how you clean up the tools you get?
Yes, hopefully in the next couple weeks! Thanks for watching!
@@thetoolbandit thank you!
May I ask which auction website did you use?
This place has their own site.
Who buys snap-on and proceeds to gouge them??!? Are people in his shop stealing that bad?
