Pawn shop score...26 pounds for $180.00
We have a favorite place where try get good stuff and prices are fair to high but they allow us to bend their arm...
Stopped yesterday to get something for wife and checked out the tool isles.
Nothing jumped out but what looked like a silver and Deming bit set in fancy wood box was on the back shelf .
Interesting but many bits less than 1/2 inch, look to see anyway.
Was brad point, real sharp but already have a set we rarely use so I thanked the guy as i told him they were fine but not good for steel.
He got a big smile and asked me to wait.
3 trips to the back room he presents bags of tools, most if not all are us made, Niagara end mills, precision twist drill etc.
Some new in box.
The single in box units had $5.00 price tags, he offered for 3 each.
I explain we are really looking for wife stuff and will maybe get a small bag of them.
He offers the pile for 150, I offer 50 and we settle for 90.
While I look at wife stuff he finds another batch, bigger than first one, tosses out 90 for it too.
So 26 pounds for 180 not bad.
A bag each of taps, readers, end mills and large drill bits.
I now have a 31/32 drill bit, been needing that one for years, finally have it but forgot what I needed it for.
He also presents a digital mitutoyo, 1 inch, batteries good.
Offers it for 90, got it for 45.
The telescoping set, 25.
That big mill bit in The center is sharp enough to shave with.
Now we just need to put it away.
