Got some "new" tools I've been wanting for awhile now.

Since the house is now legally mine and the previous owners got the 12x16 shed cleared out, I decided to celebrate with a tool haul. It just so happened to be at the same time as a older lady at work started cleaning out her deceased husbands (a MATCO tool truck owner) garage. Got a good haul and could've got more but the wife limited my haul a bunch... Either way, I got a LOT of tools that I've wanted ever since I was a beginning shade tree mechanic. 

 

First off was the Craftsman 30 gallon air compressor. It's exactly what I needed. 120v, 15 amp, holds enough to run any tool I need to. It's a 2003 model but it's in perfect condition and was hardly used. So far after a month of use it has done me very well. 

 

 next is the Kobalt 3" cut off tool. Always needed one of these to get into tight areas that I can't get my 4.5" angle grinder into.

 

 

Then the Matco tools stubby 1/2" impact. The one I got from her is used but only 6 months old. 

 

 

Then the last air tool I got from her is this. It's used as well but still works perfectly. 

 

No picture but I got a BIG table vise as well which I've needed for a long time. She also threw in an assortment of air fittings, 100ft of 3/8" pressure line, a MATCO hat and mug, and a Rigid impact drill that didn't have a charger and was held together by duct tape. Still works though.

 

This all has already paid for itself in time that I've saved by having them. I love using the air tools and they will come in handy during the Jeep/house remodels. 

 

On another note next week I will be purchasing either a 2wd AX-15 to slap in the Jeep (if the junkyard finds it) or a US General Series 2 5 drawer mechanics cart. Keeping it in my carport to help keep my Jeeps toolbox clean and keep my tools organized while tinkering.

 

 

Now the fun part! What do YALL think I paid for all of those tools? I'm happy with what I paid, I want to see what y'all think...

Umm $200 for all?

If the lady knew what it was I'd say $250 - $300.  If she didn't know what it was, $100.

she paid you $20 to haul away the heavy things.

Y'all were close. 320 for it all! I'm more than happy with that considering the prices of the air tools alone. Wife didn't like me spending it, but what does she know?
