Largest Tool Box Haul Ever! Part 2!
Could part 2 be even more shocking than part 1? In part 2 we're going to sort through a few more bins of this massive collection and find some amazing brands like Blackhawk, Snap On, Plomb, Proto, Craftsman and even Harley Davidson! Let's get busy!

Watching you go through all of this has inspired me to finally sort through all of my tools. For many years I have had 2 sets of tools. 1 set for home use and 1 set I kept in my truck for sort of a mobile Mr.Fix it (not for profit). Now that I'm retired I really don't need them all. The local Salvation Army is going to hit the jackpot. And for the first time in a long time I'll actually have room for a passenger in my truck. Looking forward to part 3.

Thanks! I donate a lot of this but usually to individuals. I'm still in the collecting phase but I know that someday I'll have to let most of it go. :(
That long tube-like tool with Bridgeport on the side at 7:32 is used for removing and installing tire valve stems. The bottom part screws on the valve stem, and the handle is used to pull the stem out or in. Make sure you keep those brass punches. They are invaluable for working on stuck valves and rocker shafts.

I believe he went to rummage sales and estate sales to get a lot of the tools. He just never trashed out the China made ones. It reminds me of me. There are only so many vise grips you will ever need. What a deal you got.

Spoiler Alert comes in part 3 about why he had so many of the same tool but I agree, of all things the number of locking pliers was out there!
The Bridgeport tool at 7:34 is to pull tire valve stems through the hole in the wheel, made by Bridgeport Brass Co. in Bridgeport Connecticut USA. I sold these at the NAPA auto parts store I used to work at many years ago.

Yeah it reminds of how a friend of mine keeps his tools. Everything it'd take us like 45 minutes just to find the socket or wrench we needed. He always had loads of all the sizes you never needed too. His toolboxes looked like those bins when you opened them up. Everything just thrown in there randomly. At least he kept his stuff in boxes though.
the bridgeport thing is a valve stem installation tool

That Harley Davidson socket is most likely made by snap on. They manufactured some tools for Harley and by the looks of that one I'd bet money it was a snap on.

Your "locksmith" tool looks like it is for cutting plexiglass to me. You drag the hook along a steel rule and it scores the sheet. You keep going back over and over until you go through. Might want to hit it from both sides. You can usually see through the clear stuff.

Thanks for the info! I've never had to cut plexiglass. The closest I cam was cutting a plastic light diffuser for my jukebox rebuild and that wasn't very thick. Great to know I may have something better...if I can find it when I need it. :)

@@floridarusticrepairs I didn't get that good a look at it but that's what it looked like. You can just make them out of a scrap of sheet metal with an angle grinder and a cut off disc. You just put a notch in the metal like a hook. Then when you drag that hook chisel point on the plastic it tears out a curl. The one I have is homemade. But they do sell the things too. Yeah it looks like what you have. Look up plexiglass cutter. Yours is fancy. It folds. I think yours may be a Logan 709-1
Also that broken ratchet looks like a wizard.

Do not scrap that brass!! lol those are brass punches and they are expensive and great to have! The brass is decently soft so you use it when you need to pound on something that you don’t want to mar up too bad and brass doesn’t spark when struck so sometimes it’s required for hammers and punches if a shop or facility has flammable stuff everywhere! Those are great tools please don’t scrap them lol
