Re: WHATS IN YOUR TOOL BOX?

I have three of these machinist tool boxes, now, I sold a fourth Kennedy 250 . The machinist boxes are identical, except for the cabinet name. I kept a SEARS and a BEACH. Kennedy 250, like SnapOn, command more than double the price. All of these machinist tool boxes were made in Canada by Beach. While I would like to keep a Kennedy just for the bragging rights that go with it, the temptation of what it can sell for may persuade me to put it on Craigslist in the near future. My Beach/Kennedy is next to my drafting table and is full of drafting tools. mechanical pencils and other Staedtler. I have had my Hamilton Drafting table since about 1965. I gave one big drafting table to my son, my daughter has claimed the Hamilton and I sold off six other tables that I "got-a-deal" on.
I did offer my daughter the choice of any toolbox for her electronics. She is thinking that she would rather have something lighter from PLANO. I may gift one to friend.
The bigger red BEACH will likely be a keeper and displace another lesser toolbox or two. I have 13 toolboxes not including another 10 small boxes with single handles on the lid. While some of these small toolboxes are empty and not worth anything more than a buck or two. I often give one of these small boxes away as a surprise bonus when someone buys something else. I like to use these small hand held boxes for tools specific to some machine. One smaller top handle Beach box has British Standard Witworth sockets and wrenches. I keep Witworth for our British Ruston Hornsby single cylinder Diesel. https://youtu.be/DQu-Nvf6Qo8
I like to buy, own and then sell tools. Sometimes I make a few bucks for the tool account. Mostly, I like the mental exercise that goes with bargaining. I have made some lasting frienships and met some interesting persons. I have bought tools from naked women, twice, I have had a gun pulled on me a couple of times and one time the police showed up because my son called them when the deal turned into a robbery.
I have two Cummins engines from CL buys. Maybe 8 of the 14 R&L IHC pickups that passed this way came from CL.
The world of Craigslist is full of adventure. I may end up dead if a deal turns bad, but look at the fun I have had getting to where I am.
