Default Got tools at Auction!

Went to a Ford/Mercury dealership auction Sat. and got a few good buys.

Flaring tool for tubing $10.00
Brake Bleeder and a post hole driver $5.00
Service counter desk (all metal, and stand up type) $1.00
Heavy duty workbench with big vice $50.00
BBQ grill (made from 55 gal drum) $3.00
White lithium grase spray (5) & fuel injector cleaner (case) $5.00
coolant system pressure tester $10.00
Paint gun $15.00

The wife told me not to get the grill so I had to buy it. :D All & all was very pleased with what I got, all items look to be very good quality.

You guys are funny :lol:
My dad went with me and said if that post hole driver (don't know the proper name for it, it is made to drive steel post in the ground) goes cheap get it.

So they hold it up and some guy bids a dollar on it, then they included a brake bleeder with it to drive up the cost. The price sky rocketed up to $4.00 so being independly weathly I bid a amazing $5.00 and got both. :eek:

Unfortunely the grill didn't come with original documents, so not sure if I got remeed or not, but I sure like it. :D
