Thanks! I gave the drill press to my friend Tyrone who I work with a lot. He wanted it for his tool trailer which he brings to job sites. The B&D drill will be donated to a kid looking to work with his hands. I'm keeping the Dremel. :)

Nice to see you're sharing those tools around. And the Dremel, not something you tend to use on a regular basis, but so great to have when you need one, for those fiddly jobs. Good move!

My parents both grew up during the Great Depression and both accused each other of being hoarders. The funny thing is that they both used the same denial; "It's not hoarding if you are going to use it SOMEDAY".

Estate sales on the last day of the sale are usually 50% off. I went to one on Sunday at the last hour and got a 1950's Snap On top and bottom box for $50.

The bigger air pressure checkers are normally for HD, ( heavy duty ) trucks that have more pressure in their tires. I've always had the small ones that go to 60 pounds, but when I bought our 3/4 ton truck, the tires are set to 80 psi, so I had to buy a bigger one of them.

Do you re-sell the tools you acquire for profit, or do You just donate them?

@floridarusticrepairs

25 күн бұрын

I donate most of it out although on occasion i trade things for help or materials. I say, "most" because although I haven't sold any of it yet, there will likely come a day when i may sell off some things. I like to help people learn to work with their hands and whenever I can, I supply tools to anyone who needs them but can't afford them. Sometimes subscribers on here have requested specific items they need and I just send them off. biggest was a Vermont American Tap and Die set. I didn't mind giving it away but the shipping cost was extreme. :)
