    I really like the Craftsman screwdrivers with the pocket clip, very handy. That dimple is handy, also. Beautiful wrench and repair.

    Every single tool you picked up I like, I saw the V block on the table and told myself John better pick that up lol. The two hammers are great, and the the Mercedes wrench is a classic. Good hunting Sir.

    Toolaholic I believe would fit the bill for the situation, and I’m here to tell you, you are in good company, just sayin, there are a number of them on You Tube, and I watch a number of them. Thanks for the tour of the show, found it interesting. Thanks for the video, enjoyed watching a fellow toolaholic in action.

    Hard to pass up any of those items. I understand. Love the Mercedes wrench. I recently made my first batch of 50-50 mineral oil and vasoline and with my luck I knocked it over and did not notice it so most of it poured over my workbench onto the floor. Making another batch now😂

    The Mercedes Benz wrench is very nice. Last Saturday I left a v block at the flea market because I did not know what it was. Maybe she will still have it this Saturday. At 6:12 you left behind a license plate that read RD KING. Great video. Thank you.

    John, I didn't have a good time Friday. *harumph!* When you met up with me the second time I had been there for at least 2 hours and I was still in that first freakin' row! lol The guy at the end was the end for me I think. I hit that $1 table hard (20 items) and I got some stuff off the $5 table. Then I paid up for a few things. Two Stanley spoke shaves (a No. 52 and a No. 151R) AND that Stanley #700 vise.
    I was going to go back Sunday because I didn't actually go around the entire place, but I would have bought more stuff!
    My name is George and I have a problem. Tools-my drug of choice.

    Good tip on repairing the dings on the wrench. I used that same technique repairing aluminum molds at my work. I would place a brass scraper flat against the damaged area and then strike it with a hammer. I would then polish the area. My company put a lot of trust in me as these molds cost between $150, 000 and $200, 000. Each .

    Ah!! I'm kicking myself now! I was planning on going, but didn't. First 5 seconds of the CAMA footage revealed the 1 last (yeah, right) tool I've given myself permission to buy. I love what you did to the screw driver handles and that wrench is very cool!

    Thanks for taking us around the tool show. Nice job on the screwdriver handles too. When I seen your balls of steel 🤣 I thought about the comedy movie Head Office (1985 - Eddie Albert, Judge Reinhold). The Mercedes Benz wrench is cool. Now, I have to get a bronze hammer. Picked up another good tip on fixing those little deformations. Thank you and seeya Wednesday.

    Lots of very cool scores there, Scout, and I'm looking forward to seeing any of them restored to new. I'm at the age where I shouldn't be buying any more stuff, but, like you, I can't seem to totally break the "acquisition addiction." Working on it though, lol. Thanks for another great video!

    Thanks John, it was great to accompany you round the show, there was a lot of nice stuff there, I.particularly liked the large mallet/maul sometimes referred to as a Beetle ! Great lathe work on those screwdivers, I cnn imagine how much that improves the feel of the screwdriver in use ! I have the Starrett scriber you showed with the reversible point, but I don't know what that sharpened hook was for ? I have a small drill just like that one, it's in a tote I made along with a set of other small tools for the children to use - gotta start 'em young !

    Sometimes you just can't leave a decent buy on a good tool go. Each of the tools you bought were great. So happy you didn't leave the V block. Very good grab! That was a really cool idea about modifying the screwdrivers. I would mind see each of the tools finished. More information about the strobe would be welcome. Great show. Thanks very much! 👍

    Hey buddy, the Mercedes Benz wrench is actually a classic English design: Lucas Girder! I think they had quite a few of parts for them made in Germany to meet demands. This one appears to be made by the German company Steinadler. I do see them occasionally. I really enjoyed the show footage, that you!
