HUGE TOOL SCORE AT Garage Sale pt 1 tubalcain

This is a 2 part video.
First, I score big at a great estate garage sale (strictly tools).
Then I move on to a big auction with machine tools.
Follow me on INSTAGRAM--mrpete222
I have over 950 shop videos.

[@arduinoversusevil2025]

Thank YOU! I've bookmarked this installment in case my better 3/4 balks at buying another rusty "piece of junk".

[@mrpete222]

Yes

[@mrpete222]

You know darn well, that you and I do whatever we want to. LOL

[@Abom79]

Hey Lyle, you have the same love and passion for hunting great deals on tools as the rest of us watching. We all know we buy things we don’t need, buts it’s fun! Nothing wrong with doing what you enjoy. You scored some really nice high quality tools from that sale. 👍🏻 I’d say gather up a lot of your overflow and have the biggest and best yard sale in the county this fall. I’m still in recovery mode but enjoying my recliner and catching up on all of my KZbin friends videos.

[@JosephDAndrea0121]

Get well soon Adam!

[@TheAyrCaveShop]

Adam, wishing a speedy recovery! Sounds like you've got the ultimate man style recliner media center setup.

[@deltamachine2059]

Abom79 tubalcain garage sale!!! I'd make that trip from california!!

[@cameronadkins6268]

Love your vids Abom79

[@clintchapman4319]

Yup..

[@wb8ujb]

You know value is in the eye of the beholder... I cringed as you would say, "throw that away". Good job, nice to see deals are still out there.

[@matman7546]

Robert Mitchell exactly what I was thinking. Not everyone has 10 of each of those items. Each bin is worth at least 10x what he paid.

[@farmalltomf]

at 25:10, those are sandblaster nozzles. ceramic

[@ProfessorMAG]

Mr Pete, if you have that "meet and greet", be prepared for a large turnout. I personally know quite a few people who would love to meet the famous Tubalcain. Why not have your own garage sale for the unwanted items. Much of what you plan on "throwing away" would be of great use to many of your viewers. We don't have access to the wealth of surplus tools and materials that you have in that part of the country. I believe that a Meet and Greet combined with a Garage Sale would be very popular!

[@OldSneelock]

I'm replying on the 27th of November. The meet and greet is long over. Bummed for sure.

[@abelincoln95]

Ah! Coffee & Mr. Pete on Saturday morning.... Please don't apologize for sharing.. We all like a good haul!!! I just don'y get many myself!! LOL!! I sell my items and I get 10 cents on the dollar. I buy things and I pay for it...

[@BurtonsAttic]

Love doing that! Great find! The red tube is for a port-a-power. The hooks and shackles eyes are valuable! Drill chuck, yeah!

[@HellSpawn722001]

That's an awesome score!!! Up here it would be $1000 by the time you bought all that. You have an amazing wife for putting you on to that sale, my wife would never have told me about it. Another awesome video, thanks for sharing!!

[@pauldevey8628]

Mr Pete, you are funny. It is actually good to educate us on old tool values so we can keep them alive and prevent them from going to scrap.

[@306cuber]

10 ton jack extensions for imported porta-power.

[@steveskouson9620]

"What in the heck is this?" Porta-power part. (David, I was just helping to get the right part identified.) steve

[@wallyverbeck1454]

At 4:41, it is an extension for hydraulic porta-power jack.

[@306cuber]

No problem. I guess I coulda done a better job. :)

[@davidkroth]

Mr. Pete, PLEASE continue to attend auctions and garage sales! This is half the reason I tune in to your channel! More more more more! Buy buy buy buy

[@MakinSumthinFromNuthin]

Hold a yard sale at the meet & greet and get rid of the stuff you dont want...LOL Nice haul

[@daleburrell6273]

...AN INTELLIGENT SUGGESTION-!!!

[@DDB168]

I loved the line "spend the rest of the day pouting about it" - damn funny

[@jameslucas6589]

DDB He has the wife most men dream about. Most Women would rather go to a tractor pull than a garage sale of tools.

[@TheArsonsmith4242]

had me laugh out load too

[@bcbloc02]

Guess you will have to keep going to these auctions and yard sales, I swear you look younger now! They must recharge your enthusiasm for life and living. :-)

[@daleburrell6273]

....I THINK THAT YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT-!!!

[@bigray2859]

Not a brag session Mr. Pete, we can tell by your attitude. If I showed up at the sale as you were loading up my heart would be broken :-). I scored big off of Craigslist once, it was so embarrassing!! The fellow had inherited a bunch of tools, he was moving and didn't want to take them along. It took 2 trips in the minivan and I also needed help loading. Sir, you have lived a good life, you are living a good life, wishing you many more years of happiness and health! Thank you sir.

[@farmalltomf]

Ok, the item around 4:54 is one of the parts for a porta-power kit. It is used for extending the ram.

[@motormaker]

That one item is a kick bender for conduit. It puts an offset bend or “kick” in the tube. Generally when running conduit you put a kick in the tube before each junction box to bring the tube away from the wall to the height of the knockout hole in the steel box or breaker panel box.

[@TrailBusterBrute1]

You beat me to it, at 16:23. 15 bucks was a steal!

[@bobfuller9759]

The sand-it "stones" are nozzles for sand blasting Wish I lived by you Great video's and garage sales!!!

[@jballew2239]

Yep, for a good sized one.

[@RGSABloke]

Fantastic, as you said how much of this stuff did you really need, but not the point, you had fun getting it and showing it to us. Kindest regards. Joe.

[@daleburrell6273]

YOU BETCHER LIFESAVERS-!!!

[@zuke-ci4vd]

Fun, fun, fun video. I would love to go to a meet and greet at your place, and I live in San Francisco! ( If I could get time off from work, not likely). To just get a chance to shake your hand would be worth it, but to also be in that "Tool Man Cave" would be just outstanding! I work at a ACE store here in S.F. by the way, I order tools for the store. ACE carries virtually zero machinist tools, I ask a ACE rep one day at work why, he looked at me like I was crazy and said "No one buy machinist tools anymore.". I was both mad and sad at the same time. Thank you so much for all your videos and all the hard work making them.

[@Jim-ie6uf]

You’ll be surprised just how many folks turn out to visit. Would be a great day for a garage sale!

[@samdavis5079]

The first "gadget" is a post level. Good for setting mailbox, yard signs or even fence posts

[@dougvanallen2212]

Mr Pete I thought I had it bad but you put me to shame great stuff thanks for bringing us along

[@1musicsearcher]

Wow what a score. Have a garage sale of your own. Put up a sign that says one dollar each and you’ll make a fortune.

[@alant5335]

Both educational and in parts you were hilarious.Simply brilliant!

[@billrugg-easey4764]

I like to watch other people buy this kind of junk it Means that I no longer have to which is good Because my garage is now full up. Have fun.

[@dannyl2598]

Gee.. Mr.Pete I got heart palpitations just looking around the sale. I am so happy for you.

[@familyd5952]

Mr Pete, If you set a date for a Meet & Great/Viewer Appreciation Day you’ll need several parking lot attendants to direct traffic!!! I’m in for sure, Joe D... Mole Man of Tennessee

[@theanvil5288]

To recoup your money, sell your don't wants. Have your own garage/yard sale...👍🏻

[@isaacclark6749]

Don't stop going to auctions, I love watching those videos.

[@carver3419]

It's great fun to watch your "unpacking" those treasures. Don't stop going to sales and auctions .... I hope your meet & greet is a big success.

[@edgarburnett2115]

Well done, Mr. Pete!

[@kaycox5555]

My goodness! What a haul. Here in the middle of California, we don't get to have such garage sales. Congrats!

[@TomMakeHere]

Now that's a decent haul!

[@Poppi2006]

Your enthusiasm is contagious!

[@tommccall7540]

Mr. Pete....this was fun find. Interesting and informative. I don’t have a chance to go garage sailing so you do it for me. Would love to visit, but Oregon is over the hill away. I’ll just enjoy watching “Mr. 222” videos from here. Keep up the awesomeness.

[@denislajoie63]

Loved it! Some really good catches. That was fun!

[@vince55sanders]

Right On! we knew you would be going to more garage sales and auctions lol. Never change sir. ps i hang up paint rollers to use as shop towel or paper towel dispensers

[@perrannormanshire8783]

Great video once again MrPete. I wish we had garage sales and auctions like that here in the UK. If I wasn't 4,000+ miles away I would love a meet and greet!

[@geoffgwyther7269]

We may not have many ``garage sales `` here in the UK, But what we do have is ``Auction houses``. Almost every town has one , even small towns.. They do house clearences. They just empty the garage into boxes and sell job lots. Unless there is another tool freak at the sale . you can score some amazing stuff. Got a mag drill and 20 odd new core bits up to 42mm, for a fiver, no one else there knew what it was,.. I have 3 workshops and they are stuffed to the gunnells.. Been doing it all my life Huge fun..

[@JohnSmith-ki2eq]

I remember 30 years ago when I had just got married and moved into my first home (we had been living with my parents for a year), my neighbor (an older gent) had a clear out of his tool boxes and put together a great starter kit for us made up of all the "junk" he no longer wanted, it was a real life saver and I just did the same for my niece who just got married last month. Your junk tool is another persons treasure : )

[@mrpete222]

Yes thanks

[@docdavidb]

Congraats on the great finds. The ceramic white cones are, I believe, tips for a sand blasting gun. They also make a reasonable honing "stone" for sharpening.

[@fungas4804]

Those wire strippers in the Craftsman toolcase are worth the visit. I've had a set like that for years and they work with very fine wire to mains cable and are easy to set up, Get going to the second half of that auction and take $200 this time :p

[@MrUbiquitousTech]

Excellent scores Mr. Pete! And you're absolutely correct, it's worth it all for the fun! A meet and greet would be great for the people that can attend, I'm in Commiefornia so that leaves me out, but I'm sure a lot of the mid-West guys would make it.

[@astari39]

Enjoy your auctions.Do what you enjoy and dont slack up! I love seeing you enjoy yourself and am very glad to have found your channel.Thanks for all you do.

[@OleGramps53]

The two tube extensions with the wedge are for a Porta power hydraulic ram used in body work / metal work etc.

[@grntitan1]

You are correct, Porta Power parts. One of the handiest tools I have that I forget I have until it is too late.

[@grntitan1]

mrpete, who are kidding? You know as well as I that you'll go to the garage sale again next week. It will eat you up inside wondering what you are missing. It will get stronger than you can resist. LOL

[@garyronan5568]

I have been going to auction's for over 60 year's and the one observation I have made is the only way an auction nut stop's going to auction's is when he's ready for A dirt nap!!

[@daveg1208]

I love yard sales myself but never scored as well as you have. You take us where we can't go ourselves, the adventures are great.

[@elsdp-4560]

THANK YOU...for sharing. Nice score. Spend a day with Mrpete, yes.

[@NuttyforNissan]

I think you did very well, and if I lived closer I would be out going through your rubbish :)

[@mattison229]

Those schlage wrenches remove knobs and rosettes on the A and D series locks among others. In every locksmiths toolbox.

[@tonyus8197]

As a a second generation tool and die maker I truly enjoy these videos. You sir, are one of the most remarkable persons to watch on the internet. Keep on doing those videos, I'm sure all the mechanically inclined people are enjoying each and every one of them. I do. Don't give a damn about the hecklers!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much for a nice comment. That was very encouraging. I'm glad you like my videos and keep watching.

[@MidwestToolReview]

Your wife is an awesome lady!!! Tell her every guy within the tool community will raise their beer in her name, while giving her a high-five!!! You’re a blessed man!!

[@carlthor91]

Klein knife for working with Tek cable hides, cutting conductor insulation back for splicing, etc. Cheers

[@charlescompton4495]

Hey, you had fun and I am sure you got your money worth of tools, too! Kid in the candy store syndrome. I had fun watching, too! Greg

[@antalog]

Every box was worth the $5. Watching you go through them all was priceless. Thank you sir.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, I am glad you liked it

[@MenAtWorkMedia22]

Awesome! More of these videos, please!

[@kostasstamatakos1230]

I have dreamed about finding an Albrecht chuck... :)

[@TBizzell68]

The Wizard Wrap is a pipe wrap tool for marking cuts on pipe, there is a pipe fitters book that is used with it, they work great.

[@blakewerner4368]

whoo-wee! that looks like a grand garage sale. thank you, i really enjoy these auction/garage deals of yours. the wife won't let me go to them anymore. hasn't for years.

[@rwallace1625]

Love these videos Mr Pete!

[@normesmonde5332]

I can hear your excitement in your voice 😉

[@306cuber]

If you can manage to find one these days, you could take those Craftsman screwdrivers back to Sears for exchange.

[@stanervin7581]

Going out of bizniss better go quickly

[@cbmsysmobile]

I love your garage sale/auction videos. You can never have enough tools. There's always something you might come across that's unique or useful

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

Love to hear you talk about the new stuff you acquired. More please!

[@bc65925]

I sure would like a trip for a meet. Would be a nice weekend getaway.

[@mauricecotton7885]

I would like to fly over to your meet and greeting if you have one 😀 I am getting ready for my first ever vacation (I am getting early retirement next month due to ill health and I have never been out of my country or had a passport before now.

[@jayhiz3514]

It an extention for a hydrologic ram. Used in auto body work or home repair. Those ceramic tips are for a sand blaster. If you were so inclinde, have a yarf saleand mark everyting 50 cents each or 1 dollar and you eill gat all your cash back and pass on your savings. I think a meet and greet would be nice. Good luck and i hope you keep up the content.

[@jolllyroger1]

3 year old video but if the economy wasn't so screwed I would be very tempted to come from California for a meet and greet.... you're a fine man and knowledgeable it's always great to meet folks like you and share times old and present

[@mrpete222]

Thank you

[@theworkshopmechanicchannel3296]

People get these for Father’s Day 😳 😂😂

[@tlbelknap]

I would say you scored on a bunch of that stuff. I enjoy your tool haul videos.

[@jameslucas6589]

The rollers you did not know when showing the brass, are bead roller dies for the Pexto, bead roller for sheet metal collars and such. Please do not feel you are bragging. This is fun for us as well. I think your penchant for tools is such a great hobby. You really scored. I wish I lived within a 100 miles of you as I would love to be at a meet and greet. Your interest in good tools as opposed to homeowner crap is great. I’d have given anything to have been a student in your class, but we are about the same age... oh well. Great video.

[@willemweideman3813]

This was a lot of fun!!! Thanks.

[@davidbarnhart6228]

You had 2 cups of coffee before making the video, I suspect!😂 Nice tool haul!

[@machiningbasics1729]

Don’t worry my friend we all have needmoretoolseritis! Nice stuff! 👌

[@daleburrell6273]

...and that's the TRUTH!!!

[@jaywon555]

Lyle, keep doing what ya love, because we all love it too, the more Auctions the more unique things we experience.

[@gavinmoir605]

Scored! You got few good tools. And scrap metal up in price. Enjoyed the video as ate my breakfast and prepared to head out to an auction.

[@matthewf1979]

Be careful about bringing strangers to your home. There sure are some two faced jackals among us! I loved watching the haul, some great stuff in there.

[@prenticeemler7709]

That red piece is,a hydraulic ram jack extension

[@debgreffe]

I stumbled on to your videos trying to find a way to get my drill press chuck apart. I have now been watching your videos for an hour. Your wealth of information is amazing. I recently inherited my father in laws tools and have a workshop of my own. I love making sawdust. I wish I lived near you so I could pick your brain on the tools I have especially the drill press and lathe. Keep up the great work on these videos. Your teaching skills are wonderful and essential for those of us that don't have folks to turn to ask the how tos on things like this. Thank you again for your expertise.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you found me. You now have 900 more videos to watch

[@peterscheffer3578]

Always love these videos Lyle! Thanks!

[@not2fast4u2c]

If I lived closer I would come to your yard sale ...I would buy the rigid hammer and the plumb hammer... just because they are well made tools

[@gymedude]

I don't comment much on videos but I have seen at least half of yours. I live relatively close without knowing your exact location and would be interested in attending meet and greet. I have bought several old machines, if for no other reason than to keep something that has "war finish" written on the side from ending up on a scrap heap and turned into a Kia. I'm not sure about what you'd get out of the greet part but for me, well I could end up keeping a couple of digits on each appendage by listening to your advice or words of caution. My motto has always been, "we never climb so high as when we know not where we go". The flip side of that saying is something I'd like to avoid. Anyway, if a person could have two mottos, I guess a close second would be "it seemed like a good idea at the time". Yeah, I'd show.

[@SteveSummers]

Amazing. I love it! I just would not be able to pass that stuff up.

[@mitchd949]

"People get this for father's day, and, boy, they just spend the rest of the day pouting about it!" This guy is great...cuts right to it...I wish more people were so clear about what they're thinking.

[@mikedrop4421]

I'm betting you could put everything you didn't want in a big box and sell it on eBay for $135!

[@gkeyman565]

The sand all white cones are sandblaster replaceable tips

[@mrc1539]

Mr Pete You missed the Whitney Punch at 12:56. That would have been a great find and a very useful tool. Thanks for the fun of a armchair yard Sale ha ha ! Always glad to see an old duffer having Fun !!! 😉 !

[@torontoterror6794]

A pleasure to watch. Its always so fun to dig through boxes and find the treasures

[@billbussler3332]

Mr Pete, I have an accumulation of tools similar to you and you mentioned fathers day. I have ruined any chance of ever receiving anything worthwhile for fathers day, birthdays and Christmas due to my enormous collection. I wanted to ask if you are starting to acquire like me, an enormous collection of socks and hats? Hahaha....

[@petercunningham4000]

Looks like you got a good haul there. I think you are in front overall.

[@markdechant8264]

Thanks to you I am now the new owner of a 1947 fully restored South Bend 9" Model A that is nice and accurate. Next will be a Bridgeport. You are an inspiration, I would be honored to meet my mentor. I'm in southeast Wisconsin.

[@mrpete222]

🤙🤙🤙

[@LacROI]

I cannot say how much I love flipping tools and looks like you got some great ones. I recently flipped a drill press for a $2000 profit. Amazing. Cheers!

[@dannyl2598]

That red thing is part of a porta-power hydrolic tool

[@mauricecotton7885]

😭 I want to go to a garage sale like that.! You don't find garage sales like that in northern Ireland. I had my best score ever last week at a car boot sale. I got a pair of knipex pliers like new for £1 or ABOUT $1.35 US. new would cost over £40😋

[@OldSneelock]

We all do Maurice. Every guy with a shop is willing to go just to see what he might have if he had the money. When the boxes are going for cheap it's like a credit card in Las Vegas. Not a thought as to what or why just Wheee! Look what I got.

[@kevinwillis9126]

Enjoyed that very much... Thanks for sharing sir..

[@ronpeck3226]

SCORE! Thanks for taking us along for the ride

[@grntitan1]

You may rethink the meet and great at your place. The neighbors or your wife may not appreciate 3000-10,000(or more) people in your front yard. How about a neutral location like a local public park?

[@stevewilloughby2169]

Really! I don't think you appreciate how widespread your viewership is. I'm probably 100 miles away but I'd like to make an excursion of the trip. Might even convince the wife to come along - bet the wives hold a mutual support session on being married to one of 'THOSE' kind of men!

[@stevewilloughby2169]

You might want to do an RSVP to get an idea of how many think they can come.

[@garyronan5568]

You could rent out the Indy Speedway! Might just have enough room!!

[@MrPragmaticLee]

In the basket with the brass valves, I'm pretty sure I saw a surface grinder wheel hub - about $65+ for a used one on eBay.

[@freethinkerofny9187]

Glad you are having fun

[@edwinleach4013]

I want to jump into that car and start looking! What a find! Thanks for the videos. I'm retired now and a wood turner so going to yard selling.

[@mrpete222]

Enjoy your retirement
