I have a barn filled with “junk”. Mostly American made motors, tools, parts, etc. Can’t give it away. I wish it all could go to a good home.

Bought a big old craftsman box full of assorted tools/sockets at estate sale. From a retired Army mechanic’s estate.

Everything made in America, lots of Proto and SK sockets and wrenches. Also had three pairs of original vise grips, back when they were made in the US.

I just scored this beautiful Milwaukee Worm Drive Saw from FBM
Made In Brookfield Wisconsin, USA!
Came with steel case, wrench, extra carbide blade, manual, can of oil and edge guide.
Original cord looks perfect and has electric brake. Runs like brand new saw.
Only $100 bucks!!!

Those Skill worm drives are great saws! I fed myself and family with a saw and a shovel for decades. Impossible to wear them out. Plenty of torque. Still got mine after all these years. Put a 25-50 ft HD cord on it.

Trying to find an older US made 3/4” complete socket set. I have some random pieces, needt a full set with a large/long ratchet.

Those sets are almost collectable at this point, bringing high asking prices.
