Wheelhorse#1 1,632 #1 Posted February 23 I love looking for and buying old tools. I found a pretty good deal on a set of old greenland tools taps & dies set. Someone took the time to coat everything in grease and wrap everything in cellophane many yrs ago ,that was now disintegrating. It took me over a hr to clean everything up with Diesel and a wire brush. There was no rust to be found “it worked “ 😆 I think they came out like new , few are missing but for 12 bucks Im not complaining. Someone must of loved this set and knew the value of them 👍 3 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sailman 1,291 #4 Posted February 24 Just picked up a vintage Clark-Feather valve spring compressor #CF-19. This was the original design and they sold them to Mac tools, Snap on etc. Saw many new ones on e-bay and amazon that had a lot of complaints. This thing for $15 worked like a charm. I buy vintage tools when ever possible. So much better than the china junk out there now. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
