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

Found these three Snap-On 12 point flex socket combination wrenches. Open end/ flex box ends. 11/16, 3/4, and 13/16. Mid 1960’s vintage.



Paid $40 for the three but I’m okay with that. Gotta remember that it wasn’t that long ago I’d tip more on a bar bill.

Great find...and I really like the stand...contemporary, but has that classic look.

I picked up this 6 cu ft Clemco Made in USA sandblasting pressure pot today.

The plan is to hook up to my sandblast cabinet so I can have pressurized feed instead of suction.





I’ll have to do some plumbing as I don’t think I can use those high flow valves (or hose) with my small 21 cfm compressor.

A little late night research will probably be necessary.

Looks like a great project and worth a thread to show us how to do it!

I might keep an eye out for a reasonably priced tow behind diesel air compressor. Then I could set up a booth behind my shop.

The compressor could always be rented out this time of the year as there’s always a shortage at the rental yards with the lawn irrigation guys winterizing garden systems.

I have to clean up the pot in the meantime.
