mrpete SCORES AT HIS FINAL TOOL AUCTION tubalcain

[@carlyleporter5388]

A 'hammer and chisel mechanic'. What a hoot !! I'm gonna have to remember that one !! Mr. Pete never fails to entertain !

[@bcbloc02]

You know your iron addiction is bad when you even enjoy looking at what other people scored. :-)

[@tjnak]

I had the same thought. I was lamenting I could not be there and help sort the treasure

[@themainproblem]

I didn't know our problem had a name. I feel strangely better now. :-) He buys stuff like me... I don't need it but I want it.

[@BrassLock]

+bcbloc02 : My cats do the same; they hunt geckos every night, right after I just fed them 😃

[@outofcontrol9886]

Mr. Pete, with every saved broken dodad there is a significant story that must go with it to save it;) i myself have gone through my own tool box and recalled each broken or displaced item and had a smile drift across my face as is recalled why it broke. all good stuff glad you were able to take them all in.

[@rarmitagebeef]

Made me chuckle! "You can see a Starret box on top and if that doesn't excite you, there's something wrong with you!" Great quote!

[@davidcokley1929]

I had to laugh out loud at that myself

[@PatrickPease]

That and "i can see 'em from a hundred yards... Through my cataracts"🤣

[@ajofscott]

Pete, the flex couplings are commonly used to couple position sensors to shafts with unreliable centers/axis, also often used to couple stepper motors to positioners/leadscrews as they accomodate both angular misalignment as well as absorption of end play to a degree.

[@TechGorilla1987]

High speed flexible steel motor couplers.

[@ralphgould2783]

Mr.Pete, The anvils go to a Mitutoyo dial indicator stand model 7003. Stand is still shown in KBC catalog. Ralph

[@ronpeck3226]

One could only guess why Mrs P would be running low on towels ;-). Thanks for sharing

[@richardnix2046]

Hello Mr.Pete I would keep a broken die for one reason. You can slip around a fastener or part that has a bad thread start, slide the die stock on, then repair the thread by threading your way off. nixman358

[@duobob]

That is probably the reason it is broken...

[@greenth7]

Hello Mr. Peter222, That Bausch and Lomb unit is a "light fixture" that works in conjunction with that stereoscope (Bausch and Lomb) you bought at a previous auction. Insert the cylindrical light appendage in the hole on the frame of the stereoscope; it will illuminate the object being observed.

[@ianmacpherson2409]

You asked if anyone is still watching at 35:36. Yes I am because a lot of the stuff is really interesting, thanks

[@kejay74]

Me too. All the way to the bitter end! ;

[@Puggy1234ful]

Yup I'm watching also, but damned if I know why

[@kb0zyh]

I really enjoy seeing your auction finds. Auctions are a great way to spend an afternoon. Thanks for sharing.

[@OldSneelock]

I had one of the older tool makers who was not up to the heavy die work do repairs on the indicators, gauges, micrometers, etc from the quality department. Most of the repairs involved cleaning and calibrating. We know Bubba seldom cleans his tools or even puts them back in the case when finished. I gave him carte blanche on what he ordered and he was very good at keeping the $ gauges working. Saved a bunch of money. He had boxes of parts similar to what I have seen here. Of course they were sorted by maker, type, and use, instead of piled together. Like you said the guy holding up the box lots was baling hay yesterday and setting up displays of tools that he has never seen before this morning in the rush to get set up so the auction can start. Fun times. UTC sent around lists of tooling from the companies they absorbed, shredded, and closed. I only ordered one lot of tools from Pratt and Whitney closures. It was a 4 foot square cube Gaylord box filled with tool steel blanks. Enough tool steel to make multiple tool sets. 😁😁😎😎

[@mrpete222]

👍👍👍

[@FredMiller]

Yes it is a vice stop. Thanks for sharing.. Fred

[@kenstaniforth7060]

I hope it's not your last auction mrpete .I had quite a few laughs at your dry humor when you commented on some of the items.Must have been fun to have you as a shop teacher.I took machine shop from 1966 to1969 but my teachers weren't as comical as you.I'm really glad to have studied machine shop and mechanical drafting,it's helped me out a lot throughout my working life.I don't think the kids today have the same opportunity to learn a trade as we did.I guess that's why we have a hard time to buy anything that's not made offshore.Keep up the good videos.

[@karlwood7014]

I had a lecturer called Mr schram back when I was doing my mechanical apprenticeship who I could listen to for hours. His love for tools and grease inspired me and you reminded me of him. Thanks from Scotland

[@mrpete222]

👍👍

[@dirtyfingernailsauto8946]

Mr Pete , you are a thrill to watch even if you are digging through boxes of used junk . The commentary ALONE is entertaining and what keeps me coming back thank you for your KZbin time , it is WELL appreciated !!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like my videos

[@keithpattison6763]

Thanks again Lyle, for this interesting collection. Watched to the end.

[@junglejammer1]

I loved looking over your shoulder at those goodies. I have a couple of those larger screw jacks like you showed in the beginning. They were my Father's. He was a carpenter and he said they were house jacks. I also have one of those pry bars for dies. My boss gave me one when the plant closed. I got it because they seemed so handy. It's been hanging on the wall of my workshop now, for over 20 years and not been used once. LOL.

[@garyronan5568]

Dave Lee But give it away and you'll need it next week!

[@rwallace1625]

Thanks for the video Mr. Pete, you rock! Can't wait for the next one.

[@kenzpenz]

Think for a moment about the past owner of all these tools. I'm sure there is a sad, but wonderful story about his work. I hope he is there to hold the door open for me when I get there, and will probably ask if Mr. Pete is OK : ) . I love watching these videos and wish I could be there. My wife just sighs, smiles and says " yes Ken what would you do with all those tools ?" I would put them out with the rest of the tools I bought off Ebay and many still remain unused. It's the thrill of the hunt. Keep up the great work Mr Pete, I watch every video, and look forward to more. ...take care,... the old retired guy out there in Marina CA.

[@themainproblem]

Well stated! It really is the thrill of the hunt. Some hunt animals but we hunt tools.

[@Andrewlang90]

Kenneth Bartlett Couldn't have put it better myself. Even better, I bet the person is looking down pleased to see who his treasures went to.

[@garyronan5568]

Kenneth Bartlett When your good lady asks that open her closet and point to her shoe's!

[@markschiavone8003]

Kenneth Bartlett , they may have died and left them behind.

[@louisstout5890]

Hell yeah I'm still watching! Very interesting stuff! Keep up the good work!!!

[@thefirstcalled]

Thank you for allowing me/us to enjoy your auction journeys. I used to love going to auctions, and cannot anymore.

[@shiro-r4m]

23:39 That's a vise-stop It clamps onto the fixed jaw of a kurt-style vise to fix a sideways position if you need a stop for repeated work on the milling machine

[@joep2379]

𝖘 𝖍 𝖎 𝖗 𝖔 Watched the entire video. Always keeps my interest. Yes, at 23:39, I agree, that is a vise stop. I made one just like it, and use it on the vise of my milling machine. The particular one you have also looks as though it was made by someone. It's an exact of the one that I made.

[@joedell71]

These videos excite my inner hoarder. I promised myself a couple years back that I wouldn't buy any more junk just because it was a good deal. So this makes me feel good about all of the "great stuff" I've left behind recently

[@edgeeffect]

I thought my 11mm tap was getting on the big size... but... dear god... that's a MIGHTY tap you've got in one of those boxes.

[@GermanToolReviews]

Rohm chucks are very high quality, nice find! Probably worth $50-100 for that one alone. Those flex couplings at 22:56 are used to connect two shafts and allows for some level of misalignment. You would often see connecting the shaft of a motor to a lead screw. A lot of people keep the broken stuff with the intention of returning it under warranty, but never get around to it. It's your last auction until you go to the next one.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@daleburrell6273]

German Tool Reviews HOW TRUE....!!

[@MultiArrie]

in the netherlands on every old drill press that have been in a profesional workshop there is a Rohm or a Metabo chuck stuck on it.

[@paulhunt598]

The coupling is mostly used for encoders on cnc machine

[@ottoreuter6279]

I love these videos because I learn to look out for when I come across tools. Particularly the large and small details that separate quality from junk. Please not your last!

[@roylucas1027]

Fun video. I I always watch your videos trill the end. Always interesting.

[@roberthorner8494]

I ALWAYS ENJOY GOING THROUGH YOUR TREASURES WITH YOU. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO.

[@spinnerbaitalways]

yes Mr Pete i watched the whole thing i love scrounging and looking through old stuff like that thank you Sir.

[@contemporiser]

I like this grinding vise,. Simple yet very precise.

[@themainproblem]

The grinding vise is really nice. That caught my eye as well.

[@mb9604]

9:30 "stubby" drill bits are actually called screw machine length drill bits Mr Pete. Thanks for sharing your haul! Very fun

[@daveticehurst4191]

Lyle, the Bauch and Lomb item near the end is a LIGHT unit, for illuminating the work, plug it in and try it. A very nice light with the ability to be adjusted in brightness.

[@katyfox2749]

13:51 is a roller chain clamp its used to hold the ends together untill the master link is installed. 19:07 is a DeepOL positive quill stop , the "c " attaches to the 1-1/2" collar around the STOP screw & the clamp ass'y attaches to the base of the quill stop , value new is about $ 100.00 . Then an indicator is attached to the top part in the 3/8 hole w/a clamp screw. 34:08 I believe these are for hardness testers for different part profiles.

[@garyronan5568]

Byron Fox - 44 years a machinist Just before that was the chain breaker. I've carried one in my motorcycle tool bag for over 40 year's and used it twice and not on my bikes.

[@kevinwillis9126]

watched start to finish.... Thanks for sharing sir...

[@aliaseldombensobarsmith4982]

When my wife starts to growl about all my junk that I bring home, I just say but think of the great sale you can have when I'm gone! It always brings a smile to her face!

[@salvatoremicale7746]

i all so had a good time. you did a good at the auction. and it was nice to see . you will get your money back and more.good for you . i love it. sal

[@HellSpawn722001]

thanks for the video. I love watching you go through the box's of tools and such. great score.

[@rogeroconnor5182]

i enjoyed watching every minute,i am more of a garage sale person myself. i recently purchased a atlas 10 f with alot of tooling and manuals for 225. according to the guru,s i showed pictures to its from 1943-45. it is a babbet bearing lathe in decent condition and i plan on restoring it and using it

[@keithknight2334]

Mr. Pete, the DEEPOL is an attachment for the Bridgeport Mill to set up a indicator to measure quill travel. If you google it, MSCDirect still sales them.

[@dougstrong3272]

you would be surprised how useful some of that stuff is. What I used that kind of stuff for was making fixtures for 30 years as a machinist. I enjoyed watching you look through each box.

[@burninpwder76]

love these auction videos. watch till the end every time

[@gunnutmike]

I watched all the way to the end, couldn't help myself. I need to get rid of things in order to move out of California, so this is like therapy to soothe my tool buying withdrawals. Thank you, Sir!

[@stevereed2788]

Dear Mr. Pete, You are a sick man and I watched your entire video and loved it! I guess I'm not the only one who gets a thrill from diving into an old box of tools. Great fun! I often wonder how many other sick people there are in the world. Now I know I'm not the only one!

[@DanielSallros]

At 34:18 the serrated round thing is an anvil for a comparator stand. And yes those look like Mitutoyo anvils for their comparator stands. They come in different shapes, flat, serrated, with a ball (spherical) shape, etc.

[@tonyus8197]

I can't help but think that if I was a young machinist, with a very limited budget, those auctions are a real gold mine. Really enjoying these videos, even though I'm from Europe and "metric inclined"... Please keep them coming...

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, I shall

[@tom7601]

The bent needle-nose pliers are great for pulling swarf off the lathe, mill, or drill press!

[@Zrambo49]

I really enjoy your video's. Both my brother and I enjoy all your projects and road trips. I don't have the money like the people who bid on E-bay, but I do try to bid on some of your stuff. Keep up the good work and I really like your dry jokes and comments.

[@luther99flame]

at 34m 7s - the "anvil for insp dept", they are the ones that screw on to a Dial Gauge Stand (Mitutoyo Part Number 7001-10). I work for the Inspection Department at my work, and see these every day :)

[@rpahmeier]

Hey Lyle, Found some cool info on Mr. Bartels whos name came up a few times on some of the tools and probably most of the tools that were his at one point. He was born in Peru,IL 1924. WW2 veteran and was quality control supervisor for 30 years at Westclox. He passed away in 2011. Thought you may find some of the info, about the tools you now own, interesting.

[@mrpete222]

My dad apparently knew Frank. My brother went to school with his son

[@rpahmeier]

mrpete222 yes you mentioned you were from that area so I wondered if there was a connection one way or another. Very cool!

[@outalive55]

Enjoyed your video, look forward to your ebay sale.thanks for a preview. hope you continue your auction trips, always fun to see what you find.

[@bobbyardevas2936]

I enjoy tools being a gear head & a retired toolmaker also. I miss machining & would like to start again thanks to you.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching, buy yourself some machines

[@bobbyardevas2936]

mrpete222. that's what I'm looking for in Colorado.

[@bnuttsgee]

I can't wait to see the towels in a later video.

[@garyronan5568]

bnuttsgee Hopefully, not while he's using them!!

[@brosselot1]

great find MrPete. if you ever want to part with the T slot cleaner and old calipers and dividers let me know. I would also be interested in the HSS tool blanks. Thanks for sharing.

[@HemiRod23]

I don't understand exactly why, but you going through every box of tools is something I can't "not watch". I find myself thinking of the smell of boxes of old tools. I love that smell.

[@Paleoman]

Watched all the way through. Interesting stuff all around. Thanks for sharing Mr. Pete222.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@metalmogul4691]

You are so fortunate to be able to attend an auction for these items, where I live there is no such thing.

[@randychamblin8928]

The tool you didn't know what was is a vise stop. It clamps to the top of the stationary vise jaw to slide a part up against. It's used a lot in a production environment

[@ghost2coast296]

31:30 yep still watching, love seeing what others have had lying around their garages for the past 5 decades, plus all your wisdom only makes it more interesting

[@motor1395]

Thanks Lyle. Followed you until the end. Enjoyed every minute!!!

[@wktodd]

the lever and cylindrical block in the first box are parts for a speed quill lever for a bridge port mill . the lever hinges in and out to re-engage the drive pin.

[@1BigDawg357]

I figured someone would have mentioned this already. Just like the one on my BPort. Hope it didn't go to the bin.

[@clfung2008]

This auction showcase retirement of a craftsmen , it is a collection over decades and the owner's dedication to his skill ! It takes over decades to accumulate these skill , when the time came , you have to give it all up ! and the new generation have to start learning it all again !

[@gaylesooter2003]

Hi Mr. Pete, I have the same problem going to gun auctions, I alway come home with more than I expected to buy, and love looking through all the smalls to find some treasure I don't need or will not use.

[@gokmachine]

Flex couplings like the one at 22:58 are used tot connect a rotating shaft with an electronic instrument, for instance a rev indicator or counter. It compensates any misalignment and still is backlash free.

[@a321mech]

I watched right to the end. Impressive stuff. The anvils you spoke of at the 35 minute mark kind of remind me of specialty holders for a Rockwell hardness tester. The flat one looked like it had some hardness dimples on it.

[@cliffordfender1159]

Lyle, the coupler is a type that is used between a servo motor and an encoder on a much older style cnc or similar situation. Point being, small and lightweight, yet sturdy and rigid in a radial direction for the delicacy of an encoder. I hope this is clearer than mud, Cliff

[@paulvanzweel8287]

Jeez I just love to see the shit you guys find on auctions. It is like Christmas morning watching you open all this ......

[@mrpete222]

Yes lol

[@normanfeinberg9968]

Women are so practical.They keep us dreamers anchored in reality god bless them

[@WBush-uc9pe]

"A Starrett box - if that doesn't excite you, there's something wrong with you." Nobody could've said it better!

[@1rcflash418]

I'm still watching, I enjoy auctions as well. IT's like Christmas, you never know what you are going to get.

[@danedewaard8215]

At 29 minutes, the bausch & lomb is a microscope illuminator. Probably cost hundreds $ when new. Nice video. Couldn't pause to make popcorn!

[@materialsguy2002]

Lyle, the Bausch & Lomb object is actually an illuminator that you can use with your B&L stereoscope. If it is working it will throw a variable intensity spot of light that you aim at the object on the stage of the stereoscope. The lamp in your left hand at 29:16 fits into the base in your right hand via the ring on the top of the base. I do enjoy these videos, thanks.

[@garyc5483]

Great show mrpete. The anvils are probably for the johansson mikrokator comparator stands that you got from Westclocks auction last time. Lots of good stuff in those boxes. Glad you have not been so quick to call too many of the items junk. probably need to go through it all again a bit slower. regards from the UK.

[@buckinthetree1233]

I wish we had auctions like that close to me here in TX. I buy most everything on Ebay. I have several of those dividers and calipers too. I enjoy taking the rusty old ones and cleaning them up like new. I polish them out, and they look better than the day they were sold.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching. There sure have not been any good auctions lately

[@briannemec9214]

When I worked for a company that did printing I saw the flex couplings used between the servo drives and the locating gears. Printing registration was controlled by servos to move in the X and Y position on the printed web.

[@charlescompton4495]

I love it! You and auctions are like bees and honey; you make it look like Columbus discovering America. I do have a small Atlas lathe so if you run into parts for them I'll watch a little closer. Have fun at the next auction (I'm sure you will), Greg.

[@stefantrethan]

That Bausch and Lomb thing is a microscope lamp, I believe I spotted a box of spare bulbs earlier. You should sell it, might fetch $100 or more. One day I found a threaded adapter in the trash, it said Leica on it and a part number. That was the easiest 80 bucks I ever made on Ebay - for a shot glass sized piece of tubing with threads on both ends.

[@elund408]

I enjoyed the video. when showing the Craftsman ratchet, you mention they are under warranty, which is true. When you take them back they replace them with junk so bad that it isn't worth driving across town to replace. I took one back last week it was replaced with garbage only good for recycling. I am tempted to find good used ones now so in 20 years when my future grandsons need tools, I can give them quality. I should probably buy them 70s chevys at the same time, so they have somthing to work on.

[@hwwelds9050]

Of course still watching. Great video education. If for no other reason just learning how to throw away bent screws and other junk will help to raise my standard and clean up my shop. :-)

[@luvipiebandit6124]

Yep Still watching

[@udowillkomm1173]

Me also....

[@geoanth]

Me too!

[@machinistmikethetinkerer4827]

Haha Mrs. P got towels... That there is a Starrett box. If that don't excite ya.... Love it

[@mrpete222]

lol

[@fungas4804]

Your "flex coupling" is used to connect the drive servo and leadscrew together on a CNC machine. In the event of a big crash, they shear. (I'm so jealous of your loot)...

[@pophamlarry]

my goodness. the man who used all of these tools spent a fortune on his tools. he worked hard just to buy more and more tools. lol nice buy sir you did really good

[@davidwarren1143]

the deepol is used to hold a 1" travel indicator on the spindle of a mill

[@stevenacarter77]

that screw jack looked like a small Rail Road Jack good video

[@martineastburn3679]

The flex coupling is a two sized off axis coupler between shafts or motor and drive. Often used in conveyor as it gives flex if flex is given to the setup. Simply said if you had two shafts running off center from each other or one is held tight and the other on rubber bounce tie downs that is what hooks the shafts together. The Bosh ... light is a spot light to highlight an area to photograph. It puts the light on the subject. Overheads can't get around and at angles.

[@MrHowieZ1973]

I love these videos . Wish I could get out to the auctions more. Living vicariously through you sir. Never throw away a manila envelope without inspecting it first. Had an old feller keep his money in them.

[@lexvoortz2213]

the anvils are for the 'small'measuringstands ,that cary a indicator on a small column based on a castiron foot with one of those anvils on it ,right under the indicator. hope that makes sense.

[@anthonypirrello2473]

I see you titled this video "final tool auction" , but you say it's "another tool auction." Come on Lyle,you know you will never quit going to auctions. I wonder when Mrs.Peterson will figure out the reason her towel supply is dwindling is because you use them in the shop. Question: what are those little jacks that you found in two boxes used for? Another great video and thanks for showing us what you scored.

[@DennisBallinger]

Took me until July to get to the video, but watched till the very end! I like going through stuff and tools like this like you said not sure why.

[@scottcarlon6318]

I think those round disks are keepers for magnetic bases to keep the magnets from sticking to every thing and to protect the surface.

[@johnstrange6799]

Incredible score! The Starrett gods have shined down upon you.

[@elliotromokurek6981]

I've seen those flexible couplings before in my robotics team. Thiey are used when you need to connect two shafts that don't really line up. they're not very reliable in my experience and we sheared about 3 of them before giving up and remaking the whole piece so that the shafts lined up.

[@sickboymech92]

Mr. Pete what you thought was a magnet looks like a straight edge for indicating surfaces.

[@localbroadcast]

flex coupling links a motor to a shaft... absorbs some of the initial inertial jerk, as well as the jerk of a stepper motor.

[@hemiram05]

Another great score! I wish we had auctions like that down here in the south. It looks like you're making out pretty good on eBay! Good luck.

[@DeDeNoM]

32:45 Have a look at 29:42 maybe those are the blocks you are looking for

[@MIGASHOORAY]

Yep still watching.

[@robroiboi]

Yep, I watched to the very end, had fun digging with you

[@grntitan1]

I spied that Starrett box as soon as you cracked open the trunk.

[@lonniewhite258]

the box with the single v block I think your mystery item with the spring in the middle looks like a sharpening jig

[@MrUbiquitousTech]

Awesome scores there Mr. Pete! Congrats! It's a win for all of us since we'll get videos of those tools in use! How many lathes have you purchased since your "last" one? ;) And I wonder why, just why, Mrs. Pete is running low on bath towels? ;) She might want to watch more of your videos.

[@MrUbiquitousTech]

Looks like some good candidates for the "What Is It" series in this auction. Still right there with you Mr. Pete @ 31:28
