The CJ2004 puller set is $1,500.00 new from Snap-on, The CJ2003 is $805.00. Figure half price or even more for used. Had those sets at my auto shop, excellent pullers. It looks like you may have most or all of the Snap-on master puller set CJ2000S, which is $4,800.
You might pick out one or more of the good sets & offer separately, if you don't get a real good offer for everything.. then buy some amazing accessories for the Atlas.. but you are wise to not want to put too much time into it.. I kind of perked up at the Clausing price.. didn't hear what the Maximat went for .. if they were not sitting too long, either might not have been too bad a cleanup..
I think the former owner was pulling your leg by putting all the pullers in the cabinet. One thing I have learned over my 72 circuits of the sun is that the higher my expectations, the greater my disappointments. No expectations, no disappointments.
The contents of that cabinet just made that a fantastic deal, the lathe is just icing on the cake. The Snap On puller set, the long OTC puller, and the various specialty automotive pullers make that a better than $5k load of tools. Many of the unbranded pullers may just be OEM supplied tools. The total value of those pullers far exceeds the value of the lathe, even in perfect condition. I've got most of those pullers from years of working in dealerships and I can't even imagine how much they all cost total when new.
Disappointed he says! Not to insult him. But I own 95% of what he has shown. Including the lathe! I'm never disappointed in owning tools, especially when a person spends pennies on the dollar. But maybe the difference is I use them daily. I don't do it for the resale.
That is a set of pullers fit for the maintenance tool crib of a good size manufacturing operation, never mind the purely automotive stuff. You did great - as others have said don't let it go too cheap as many are high dollar sets. Great video.
Thanks Mr Pete. I'm sorry it wasn't what you were hoping for, but I'm glad it was something of value and not scrap metal. You probably got the only thing at the auction that wasn't ruined. I wish you a quick recovery from that tooth.
Had a repair business thirty plus years and had everything you unpacked easily when I retired. There's easily eight to ten thousand dollars new cost for what you unpacked
Regardless how you look at it, new, used does not matter. Even used the sale of all of those pullers should fetch several thousands dollars in total. The buy of the day was not the lathe, it was the contents of that cabinet! @alro2434
A few thoughts: When you need a puller, nothing else will do. -- This video is way more exciting than Geraldo's TV special. -- My Dad always said, "Locks are for honest people". (of course I'm not implying anything towards you Mr Pete) Thanks for sharing the adventure in spite of the lack of lathe tooling.
The good thing about the items in the cabinet is they were protected from the rust. Sorry that you only found the 4 jaw chuck as the only lathe part but that is one less thing you will need to locate. The good thing with the Atlas Craftsman 6" series is that there is lots of tooling that can be found - just need deep pockets - hopefully you can sell the pullers and come out ahead enough to purchase most of the tooling and that the lathe itself cleans up to the point where it is useable. Thanks for the mystery tool cabinet episode - I enjoyed it.
HOLY MOLY! THE MOTHERLOAD OF PULLERS!!!! You can definitely sell the Snap-on stuff for what you paid for everything! You did very well! I wished you luck at that auction, and IT WORKED! 👍😁👍
I remember watching a 60 Minutes piece about pick pockets. They interviewed an old ex-con pick pocket who lamented that nobody was learning the "trade" anymore and these days they "just knock you in the head and take your wallet." He said the same was true with lock pickers. It is easier to knock the door down than to learn how to defeat the lock. I was pretty impressed with how fast you got into that cabinet...and I hope the kid who taught you will get out soon.
Wow! You did very well even though it wasn't what you were hoping for. At least you found the 4-jaw for the Atlas. Maybe he never had any other accessories for the machine? I can tell you those Snap-On puller sets are worth far more than what you gave for the lathe as they look brand new and complete. I have a lot of those pullers and slide hammers because I work on a variety of things from automotive, industrial machinery, farm equipment, machine tools, etc., so that's probably why he had so many different pullers. The 3-in-1 sets are for ball joints, bushings, u-joints, or whatever else you can think of. Saw some pitman arm pullers, steering wheel pullers, tie rod tools, etc. You should make your money back and have plenty to cover getting the needed accessories for the Atlas with no problem, given the right buyers show up. That is a very nice cabinet and is worth a little cash by itself, although it is perfect for the Atlas to live on. I bought an Atlas just like that one a few years ago at auction for 50 bucks, but it came with a crate full of every accessory under the sun, which was worth more than the lathe. I'll have to look and see if there are any doubles in the crate that I don't need. If there is, maybe I can send you something for yours.
Fascinating! It's a crying shame that the remainder of the Atlas accessories weren't in the box! It sure seems like the owner of that did quite a bit of suspension and undercarriage work on cars. Makes you wonder what the lathe was used for in such a shop. One item which seems out of place with all the automotive puller tools is this - At 22:51 you open the lower drawer of one of the small red boxes and pick up a small tool with a slot in the center and some round holes, and two wing nuts. You mention it may be a flaring tool. That is actually a refrigeration pinch-off and re-rounding tool. The "jaws" in the center can crush copper tubing and stop the flow of gas. Once you have performed your service procedure, you place the tube through one of the round holes, and close the tool again. The round hole will "re-round" or open up the copper tubing. Many decades ago, before the advent of Schrader valves, people would use this tool to prevent loss of their refrigerant charge while disconnecting gauges and placing a cap over a non-Schrader service port. Or, they would cut the tubing and solder the end closed after servicing the system. I have a hunch that the people at the car shop "may have" used those to close off brake hoses to stop the loss of brake fluid while doing suspension work. This is a bad idea since it damages the hoses, but people do it regardless. I did get a kick out of the lockpicking. Some of us don't like destroying things, including locks. I had to learn to do this as well, to open some of the old soft drink coolers I repair. The lock cylinders are typically available but often if you try to destroy the lock, other parts of the mechanism (made of pure unobtainium) get damaged as well. Looking forward to seeing your travels and auction browsing videos this year, as well. Thanks and please keep them coming!
Tractors. Farm auction, pretty much everything in the cabinet, would work on tractors, and the lathes would let the owner fab their own hard to locate parts.
@@davida1hiwaaynet 30yr HVAC/R guy here. I saw those too and used them years ago. Don’t much anymore due to the damage you mentioned. We do use a specialized vice-grip pinch-off working with newer, small refrigeration units because law requires we pinch off and solder she system shut with no service ports. These are R-290 (Propane) units. Weird the new laws require it, the old cascade systems I used to work on for -100°F boxes that were used, ironically, in an aircraft machine shop for interference fits. Full circle I guess! 😂
I've put a lot of use on the Harbor Freight pulley installer and remover sets of that vintage. They're nearly indestructable. The modern Maddox Fuel injector tester is also fairly decent.
puller fetish?....here, pull my thumb Pullers multiply when you don't have exactly what works... Collections like that result from investment, not fetish.
While you didn’t find what you wanted in the cabinet, you scored on the pullers. A reasonable sale price ought to line your pockets and help purchase the tooling you need and want. So I call it a win and this amazing video ought to boost your channel. Keep up posted on how the puller sales go…. I smell money….
The guy was a motor mechanic based on the brake lathe. They are all big money. That snap on kit is probably a few thousand. The big forcing screw looked like part of a brake drum puller which was used for tapered axles... The "mummy" H frame looks like what OTC sold as a pusher / puller. Maybe for kingpins? The vise grip puller looks like Snap On slide hammer too... same with the small 3 jaw.
Can't believe there were so many pullers in that cabinet. Many are in good condition & should sell . Good luck from South Australia Thanks for your videos
Back when l was rebuilding spindles for machine tools (box, cartridge and cartridgeless styles) l ordered a couple of sets of pullers that most people never see. The Snap-On (1) set for pulling dowel pins that are not drilled and tapped. That one consisted of collets with a collapsibg sleeve. The other was either Snap-On or OTC. That was the one for pulling bearings from blind holes. Sleeves with slits cut in them and a tapered ID. An expansion plug would expand them and they had a shoulder that would rest against the inner race. Also had the SKF bearing installation set that covered from 101 to 310 ball bearings. Later when l was rebuilding industrial centrifuges we had SKF 3 jaw hydraulic pullers. I wanted to make up adaptors to use the hydraulic pump and cylinder on other applications but there was never the time. Always too busy. 1) Coporate headquarters is about 3.5 miles away from my house.
@@mrpete222 For slide hammers l had three different sizes l made up myself. One had a Slide Hammer that weighed around 8 pounds. Needed the extra umph for work on stamping presses.
The lockpickinglawyer is a great channel. Ive changedthe way i look at security because of him. A lot of people criticize him for "showing people how to pick locks". The thing is, the people that you need to worry about, already know how to do that. He is showing you how to deal with them, and why.
No criminal takes the time to pick a lock with Today's equipment. The only one picking a lock is the one that needs to save the Cabinet for his use. the criminal cares nothing about your cabinet he just wants what's inside. On the other hand, if he likes the cabinet, he'll just take that along with him and pick the lock at home. eagle
One of the funniest Mr Pete videos I’ve seen, best one since the rant about living in a hi-rise condo in retirement. I hope you don’t have to pay too much to have all those pullers hauled off
You will more than recoup your investment on those Snapon pullers. A good puller is worth it's weight in gold when you are in a bind. Have fun with the Atlas , will all love to see your progress.
With the money made off the pullers. You should be able to go out and buy another Atlas lathe complete with all of the accessories!!! Great find you have IMO!
Wow - awesome auction success!! They DO have little slide hammers in dentistry! I have 13 or 14 crowns, bad teeth all my life. Had an old Army dentist. Dr. Ben Bell who was a fast, no nonsense guy - great dentist. He did 6 crowns at once for me and used his little slide hammer for pulling the new crowns off when they got stuck as he was fitting them all before cement. It had a little claw hammer like hook. Anyway, I commented that I had a much larger one should he need it and that got a little laugh from him.
the puller legs in the two red boxes go with the hydraulic puller you found at the start, not familiar with the brand but looks similar to the sykes pickavant brand we have in the UK, the reason there's only one leg in the first box is because the puller swaps between two and three legs and it was set up for two with the other two legs that match this one, the different length legs swap for different operations. IMO the pullers are worth more than you paid for the lathe.
Well,Mr. Pete ya done it again. You reminded me once again that I need to redouble my efforts to clear out my accumulation of stuff before I meet my well deserved end. I hate the thought of a bunch of people at an auction wandering around wondering what kind of mental case I might have been to have collected all this stuff and then let it all go to rack and ruin.
Why? If you have fun in life and depart with a smile, who cares what happens next. Let your family know where to get decent value if they want the money, or just let them recycle it if they are rich.
You are the best! Only someone like you could go to the dentist for a tooth pulling, and then later in the day open a secret cabinet filled nearly completely with pullers of other kinds. Oh the ironies of life! ❤
Great Video Mr Pete, a goldmine of duplicates is still a goldmine. Our only disappointment is that you're disappointed, it's gotta be the tooth talking!
Steering wheel lock ring depressor, Lisle lifter puller, rear axle bearing pullers, ball joint and tie rod separators, suspension bushing pullers, auto trans front bushing puller. Lot's of automotive stuff. I saw a power steering pulley remover, pilot bearing puller and othe goodies too. A treasure trove of stuff. You scored.
Nice picking the lock, Enjoyed the video. Sorry not much in the lathe tools. And as always a thumb up from me. Hope your Jaw get to feeling better. Thanks again Mr. Pete.
Quite a variety and several duplicates. At about 22:51, right after the small bearing splitter, small unamed tool. Removes and installs the retainer on the drive end of Delco Remy starter motors. Handy gadget, even if only to replace the Bendix. Good pullers aren't cheap. Cheap pullers are worth less than nothing.
Thank you so much for this video. By the end when you are checking the red tool boxes I was literally in tears with laughing. The anticipation of what I already knew would be another puller was overwhelming. Great video and thanks again. Bonus on the 4 jaw though.
Those aren't u-joint pullers, they are for removing and installing ball joints on pickup trucks and and vans. I recently used one on my 97 ranger. A mechanic would love to have all that stuff. You could easily recoup some of your money.
Hi Lisle, Those pullers etc are worth far more than that lathe is worth mate. I just bought a couple of the sets you have shown there and I paid more than I would give for that lathe. That contents of that cabinet is probably worth 10 times what the lathe is worth in my opinion. I have owned a Lathe for 40 odd years (12" X 3Ft.), so I know the value of a lathe to a machinist, further, I just bought a new lathe and a new milling machine and I am still using pullers (Obviously as I just bought some new ones) such as you have shown, I am 78 and still very active. You got a bargain there mate, don't knock your good luck. Hope you find a good home for the bits you don't want. Thanks for sharing your day with us. Cheers from Australia.
Wow. You've hit the jackpot. Glad you released the show early. Don't think I could have waited . Snap-on fetches a fortune in England. Most men are obsessed with pulling.😮😅😊
Make sure you check the prices on that Snap-On stuff before you sell it, I'm sure you will. Also I guess we know where the last" What Is It? " came from!
You're fortunate that you have auctions like that in your area. Here, there's nothing like that. Been looking for a small lathe, but nothing anywhere within 3 hour driving.
Great video! I still remember watching that dopey Geraldo vault scam! I have the opposite dentist, great guy and very talkative. He even showed me his crown making cnc as it was making the one for me. Incredible machine!
The man that owned that cabinet wasn't just pullin our leg. But he was pulling everything else. Mr Pete you could start a Puller museum with your new extensive collection.
Great job Mr Pete. I was so excited when I saw your video come up. I’m not an expert on anything, but I’d say you handled that lock like you were in Watergate. I think that you should come out ahead on the lathe one your able to move all of those pullers.
The tool in the funky box with the duct tape appears to be a king pin pusher. It ius remarkably similar to the accessory for my Snap-On press that performs the same function.
Well you have a fortune in pullers, but I don't know anyone who would need that many pullers. I have used some of these large 3 jaw pullers on 3 ph motor sheaves for cooling towers but I did not enjoy it at all. I knew you would have no trouble picking that lock, by the way my old friend and foreman who was a WW-2 vet taught me to pick locks in fact we even cut some locks in half to see how to make master keys. We worked in a large hospital and the nurses would often loose their keys.
Unless there is a shortage of dentists in your area, I would consider finding another one if you feel that way. Most dentists would prefer to restore a tooth, depending on which one it is. Pulling teeth is the last resort with any decent DDS. Also, the cheapest procedure they do.
I love a mystery box but that made me chuckle even though it was a disappointment. Man, that guy must have had every conceivable puller there is :) Shame as I was really rooting for you finding some nice accessories that would make that lathe a great clean-up project you could just get stuck into. Gutted for you Mr Pete. Best of luck on the sale.
All you need to know is that all of those tools would have paid for your lathe and possibly enough to buy those accessories for it.BTW, that 1st puller you took out is a hydraulic puller that belongs with the 1st red toolbox that you looked in.
The man was obviously doing front end alignments. I think you hit the jackpot, that's a pretty big bundle spent on pullers and I can obviously say you'll never get stuck.
The previous owner was a pulling son-of-a-gun. I'm glad some viewers are identifying some of those tools with good value for you. Despite your disappointment, you did well, Mr. Pete.
Maybe someone has already told you this - the first puller you look at is kind-of hydraulic. You fill the central small dia hole with grease (remove the screw with the tommy bar in it first), take the slack up with the large fine thread you mentioned, and then use the central small tommy-bar driven screw to push the grease - the business end of the ram floats inside, as is driven out by the grease as you tighten that central screw. They work rather well.
