Two big cans of scrap aluminum sheet & cut up ladders, plus an Al. wheel ; 7). Misc. stuff like spray paint, irrigation tubing, antifreeze, epoxy, a never-used car water pump, ... Yesterday I got (different place) a 12" Radial Arm saw on a cabinet w/ 3 drawers, and a differential hoist (prob. 1 ton). Haven't had time to really look at most of this equipment yet.

Re: The Official Craigslist Score Thread! The bottom ones are all common and not worth anything. This is the first time I have seen the style like the big one in the center. I will check it out online. In general, they are not worth much and I buy a dozen or so at a time or pretty much every one I can find for less than $10 each. A quick Ebay search shows they are usually selling on Ebay for not much more than I paid for them. I can turn them into twisting wrenches and make much more money on them.

I think a Monkey wrench was Col. Mustard's weapon of choice. Any brand names on them?

Re: The Official Craigslist Score Thread! Yes. I will wire wheel or sand blast them again to clean them up some more. I weld the opposite handle on them and then coat with BLO.

Re: The Official Craigslist Score Thread! Originally Posted by whtbaron LOL... you didn't tell us you were finding your own stuff on the road!

This was the light I lost with the 2ah battery. Attachment 1778107

It fell off the Bronco on S. HWY 99 just leaving Elk Grove. I heard it fall, looked in my mirror and saw something sliding and bouncing around behind the boat trailer but could not tell what it was. I figured it out later when I went to use the light but could not find it. Then realized how I left it under the bronco as the last place I could recal using it.

You're pretty good at spotting that stuff on the side of the road. Lately I've found a nice 10" Snap on adjustable wrench and a big oil filter pliers on the road. Once found a nice Remington .223 bolt rifle in the ditch but called a sheriffs deputy friend to run the serial, He put me in touch with the owner that reported it lost. Dummy left it leaning on his truck and drove away after a coyote hunt. He did give me $200 for finding it.
Re: The Official Craigslist Score Thread! CL Rockwell 12" Disc Sander/Grinder. Works good. Not a stole it deal, but happy with the purchase. Used paint stripper to remove 30 - 40 years of contact cement from the disc. Have been looking for one for a long time. Will make a metal stand for it someday. Might even do some resto paint - someday. $250. Attachment 1778053
