Let's post our Made in USA tool finds (yard sales, old store stock, auctions etc)

I bought a Made in USA Milwaukee 1/2 drill motor #0234-6 that was a leftover. Most people would want to buy the newer looking box but would not take the time to see where it was made. I talked with the manager and he even knocked an extra $20 off the sale price because the box looked older. Ha!

Those really work good for removing 3/8, 1/2, 3/4 square plugs....like for checking fluid levels. Just use the appropriate extensions or adapters to use the back end of the extension to fit the plug.

I also have 8 point sockets just for that.

I love it when things like this come up!

This is NOT mine.

My good buddy, a lifetime tool aficionado and the most knowledgeable tool person I know, showed his latest find to me today.

A Sioux metal sprayer. He put a hunk of lead in, the gun melted it and sprayed out when he pulled the compressed air trigger.

That's too cool but I find myself wondering what you'd spray lead on...? :confused3:

Car body panels, perhaps? Torturing environmentalists?

My first thought too was body work.
And OMG....think of actually using that out in public where someone would see you...! :reporter:
Be right up there with knocking asbestos insulation off with a hammer...!

At this point, I will go with the latter! Only because body panels are plastic or aluminum these days. :laughing:
