TAFKARM Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 As title. Standard OAP hoarder, all kinds of stuff. Do do people pay money for things like that or sling it in the skip? (I have no emotional attachment to any of it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Car Electronics Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 It'd be worth a sort through I'd have thought- modern hand tools really aren't a patch on the quality of older ones, even if they don't look pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory's Dad Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I spend a happy 10 minutes looking at the stuff a guy has at our local market. Some of it esp. the chisels are beautiful despite many years of use. All dirt cheap apart from the planes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Colonial Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 @RussH Careful about giving away old tools the collector doesn’t assume you’re part of the collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 @RussH if you are looking for a good home then I may be able to use some for my own personal use. I am in Draycott this week but back in Chesterfield next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
