My neighbor, retired general machinst, is downsizing to a condo and approached me to buy his tool chest. I have lots already but to help him out bought the lot. He doesn't have the time nor inclination to separately bring it to market. There are many unique to his trade such as lathe bits, milling machine bits, tapered reamers and very large drill sizes among other stuff. There are several different size hammers, open and box and pipe wrenches in different sizes,

The tools are in three boxes, one is a rolling Mastercraft cabinet 36" h 7 drawer locking in very good shape, two smaller HD boxes, loaded with sockets, etc.

If anyone is interested PM me.

How, that was fast. I dropped by a local machinist, he's done work for me, to get an idea of value. He bought the lot.

Quality tools at a cheap price are easy to sell! Well done!

After the guy paid for the stuff he said I can tell you now the small tool box, signed Hennessy, is worth what I just paid for the lot. I'm OK with it, helped the neighbour and made a decent profit.

I am getting more of my tools from older, retired folks, who aren't using them anymore. Their stuff is better than what's out there on the market.

My table saw was due to the owner upgrading to a larger UniSaw from an older guy. I got it for a steal.

Same with my Milwaukee Porta Band saw.... guy was selling his dad's stuff. Got it for like 25% of new.
