Garage sale find

Estates sales - almost feels like a rescue for high quality vintage tools instead of seeing them go in a landfill.
I have been purging my workshop and garage (somewhat) of things I will never need or use.
Finding parts and accessories for cars I no longer have…
Speaking of estate sale tools - i just need to find a guy or gal that has a vintage Volvo fetish and wants many of the factory special tools …

My antique Stanley and Bailey planes, bit braces, spirit levels etc are on that keep or purge list. Along with a two man saw…

If any of those Stanley/Bailey planes ever go into the purge list, I’d appreciate a heads up =)

I’m just going to leave that right there.

Snap-On Tools?

:imp:

I know of a guy in WI that puts all of his daughters in vintage Volvos. Calls them tanks on wheels. If you are serious, I’ll message one of his girls to see if he’s interested. (He’s a body guy. Buys them totaled and brings them back to life.)

Erik,
Vintage Volvo - The timeless P1800ES, 164, 240 etc.
There are many classic fans out there - even websites that focus on them! (imagine that!)

Raymond, Volvo factory tools were never made by Snap - On - the ones I have are made in Sweden by the supplier for Volvo & Saab.

Snap - On is a good tool company not the best and not the most expensive but does have an extensive offering and is great in quality. Estate sales, auctions and other sources are the way to go when looking for professional and misc tools at less than “retail” pricing.

I like my Volvos bricky
and they’re surprisingly quicky
(despite their reputation for slow)
when the liftgate reads “turbo”
