I like the " I don't buy tools, I buy projects" 🤣🤣 That's a married guy's excuse. Own it and don't worry what others think. It's your retirement fun. Like laughter it's a great medicine. Better than vitamins.
I love the Cleveland dial converter. Very handy and compact. I have not heard of B&D Commercial tools. I have a B&D jigsaw branded "INDUSTRIAL HEAVY DUTY". I purchased this in the mid 80's perhaps about the time B&D purchased DeWalt, but at that time B&D had a few "versions" of some tools. Still going strong. Dave.
What a beautiful looking day up there, Scout. Jacktown is a such a nice place to walk around. You did well at the dollar table. I couldn't make it up there this season. I'm thinking about maybe taking in the winter show. Oh, the little dachshund in the photo with the sly eye seems to have your number! 😆👍
the makers of the unmentionable product should sponsor you. you are a great spokesman for the product. obviously the product works great as demonstrated by you.
Your buddy Bob was the highlight of my trip there in spring. I cant wait to go back, I plan on stopping at his spot first. He has great stuff and will bundle for you. Its fun just talking with him. Hes why I missed the meet up in May 😂
All week I was fending off a cold and Friday it knocked me out and I was really looking forward to seeing Jacktown's exhibits as they don't have them open in May. Probably just as well though I did not go. My little green wagon would have gone home overflowing...AGAIN! lol
I use a walking stick for mobility around my workshop. It’s a dedicated stick and as such the silicone grip handle gets putrid. I don’t use the brand of your “unmentionable product” but something similar which is a godsend. It’s the only product that will clean and not leave the handle with that tacky feel. Sorry to say I started using this before you started talking about it, ( I don’t want to use the promote word), but it’s good to know others are realising the benefits of this product. Great for tools, cleaning the bench top and dust/saw dust off of my machinery too. Great video mate. Thanks for all your hard work at bringing us your smiling face three times a week. Don’t know how you do it.
I like the way you say , "I don't buy tools any longer," and that dog always gives you the fish eye. You picked up some really nice deals. That drill sounds good. Very enjoyable video.
That time clock could have come in handy. When you start a project, punch in and when you’re calling the project done, punch out. Gives you a record of how long it took. But hey, you got some great finds.
Great show, ScoutCrafter, with lots of interesting, ahem, purchases for continued education. Your pocket knife looked like an early "Imperial". I always enjoy you show and your humor and look forward to more. What a beautiful statue of Mary. I hope you can mend the chip.
Great show and Thank You for bringing us along with you. Also, that product you used that you didn’t tell us about is some awesome stuff. I picked some up a couple of weeks ago and I understand why you like it so well. Thank You for sharing!!
I have a Craftsman circular saw that I purchased, I think, in the 1970s. It needed a good cleaning. I used that product that you wouldn't mention (Tub O' Towels, maybe, I'm just guessing) and was very pleased with how well it cleaned up. I purchased the product after seeing you use it on tool handles. If you aren't being sponsored, you should be!! Thanks for the video
Nice show. I guess those no name towels work pretty well. Black and decker made a lot of good drills. Your craftsman needle nose looks like they were ground to pick staples out of furniture. Your solder gun reminded me of my very first tool. My mom bough it with blue chip stamps for me. I still have it in the metal case it came in. It’s a wen. I always enjoy your show, thank you.
Wish it was a bit closer I saw lots of great things to purchase...you didn't fall of the wagon, we will just call it a cheat day.. like with a diet 😁😁😁 I can smell that drill when it fired up. Took me back in time
I bought a tub of the unmentionable towels and they are the best I have ever used. Works on dirty hands and tools.. I had no idea that some of my tools and stuff was so dirty.
In 1976 I bought my first Weller soldering gun. Working on a lot of old cars at the time, I thought I would wear it out very quickly, so I bought a second one as a backup just in case. I am still using the first one and the second one is still new in the package. In 1976 they cost $26.00 plus tax at K-Mart. I have since bought several more used ones that I give away to people when they want to borrow mine.
Great vid as always. I think my favorite part of the video is the sense of humor!!! Of course all of the information and clean ups and all other content is ALWAYS interesting, but the humor was the best!! Love this channel!!
Probably a good thing you passed up the time clock, you would most likely start punching in/out while working on producing your videos and scare yourself at shop time you’re putting into them, 😊. I like the little dog you flash on the screen with “YA RIGHT” expression on its face, I’m glad you don’t do any unnecessary advertising for those ---towels, people might get the idea you like them!😊 I really like the Honeywell meter, you got that to come out looking great. Thanks for the video, enjoyed watching.
Thanks Scout, I really enjoyed the trip around JackTown. I went to a swap meet in a town called Hall yesterday (Sunday) which is only 10 minutes from my home and picked up a few bargains as well. Cheers, Stuart 🇦🇺
I want one of the Cleveland twist drill calculators! Never seen that before. It is much better than any app I have seen! And faster! A great find! Also, I had a Weller soldiering iron for years. Excellent iron. I sadly have no clue what happened to it. Thanks.
I will say the Tub o towels work. Especially on cords and cleans the coated handles on pliers and alot more. Worth the money. $16 here in south Carolina. Have a good one.
Guess I know now why I didn't see you at Jacktown, I went on Saturday and Sunday but not Friday. Early Saturday for flea market finds, then the tractor pulls and more pulls on Sunday. What a beautiful weekend for it. That Weller soldering iron as probably built about 19 miles from Jacktown, in Easton, PA. I missed that time clock or it was sold before I saw it, I've always wanted one too
Thanks John, great episode, nice to see the show on the Friday for a change, some superb bargains there for sure ! I remember those Weller solder "guns" well, classic design. The Honeywell meter cleaned up nicely, glad you didn't name the product though, Lol ! I can't believe how beautifully smooth that B&D drill sounded, what a peach ! Take good care of our lady, I'm sure you will !
Great deal on the rolls of wire. You can save a fortune buying hardware and other supplies at shows like that...........A few years ago I was going to make my own roof rack until I priced out all the hardware I wanted to use and realized it was cheaper to buy one new.
One of these days I have to get to a tool swap meet. That Honeywell meter is very nice, put it in the amp mode when not in use as it should damp the movement and prevent damage while not in use.
@@ScoutCrafterI know but I already have 3 VTVM, 4 VOM and 2 DMM. I keep telling myself I stopped buying meters like you stopped buying tools. Sometimes I just can't say no.
John, I would have grabbed that time clock. Would be great to make sure Junior puts his hours in. Those towels are awesome. Can you tell us what the name is? I can’t wait to see that statue get fixed. You know we love those at Pauls’ Workshop!
It's just so easy at those shows to forget how thightly packed our houses are😂 No you've gotten some fantastic items that will make some great episodes I'm sure!
I like the Craftsman needle nose pliers. I know that everyone loves the Dake, but we don’t have one. Would you tighten that pliers up by hand for those of us without a Dake? Looking forward to that Camp knife restoration. I like Simpson meters, that Honeywell looks nice, though.
That Honeywell meter is a W136?? I forgot. It was mostly used for measuring "microamps"0-25 microamp scale. The AC line plug was for a "Fireye" burner control. If you look at the plug it originally has 4 prongs and one is usually ground off to use for a test plug. Fireye was a (competator of Honeywell) originally from Cambridge, Ma now in New Hampshire I think. All burner technicians used those meters
Fantastic mish mosh John great way to start the week some really great stuff at the show The early bird catches the 🪱 worm great episode god bless take care 🇺🇸🇳🇿🇮🇱🗽🪖🦅🦔🐕🐝🌟🙏🐬47
Those Tub ‘O Towels work great. That Madonna statue is really nice and looking forward to seeing that restored. You had purchased another religious garden statue a couple of years ago. Did you ever get around to painting it?
I will have the Madonna done on Wednesday. I never painted the Jesus statue because it’s concrete and I want to know what would be the best paint to use. 😃👍
Jeff- Normally if the manual is a common one try to get the best condition possible however many times a manual is rare or the price is fantastic then buy it! If you have a manual that is musty smelling cover it in baking soda and let it sit in a warm dry area a few days- 😃👍
Do you recommend Tub of Towels for folks that enjoy cleaning up well seasoned tools? 😅 Nice video. Let us know if you used ToT while working on Madonna.
$1? How can you not buy it? I loved the set of Allen wrenches. I spent 17 years working in the printing industry and used wrenches exactly like those every day. Presses had a ton of allen set screws on them. I kept a full set in my toolbox all of time.
It was just as if we were walking around together thinking the same thoughts whilst we were looking and discussing stuff pity you are one end of the pond and I am at the other end ha a ha👍👍🔩🔩
