I love these kinds of videos. Thanks. I don't carry a Leatherman, but they do command a decent price if you choose to re-sell it. Not long ago, I came across a pick-up truck full of lower-quality tools which I had to take with some tool boxes I purchased from a man who just wanted it all gone. I sorted out the decent tools then figured I would donate the rest. A friend agreed to take the rest to a local auction in a set of 5 gallon buckets. We got over $300 for the tools, splitting the profits from our plunder of "junk". As you know, the key is to get the junk out of your house as fast as you can. Good luck and thanks again.

I was given a Leatherman about 15 years ago, but the screwdriver blade wasn't tempered properly and it broke. So I _rarely_ use it for anything because I don't trust it, even though I had always heard that they were top notch. Since it was a gift, I don't have any "proof of purchase," so I don't know whether it's worth fooling with the warranty system?

One the ohm meter - only resisters are used with a battery. AC and DC voltage / current (maybe) doesn't use battery even if missing or corroded. Leatherman are good steel and are keepers. Typical multi-tool. Handy for the car tool box or desk. Good quality steel file. Best clean an old than buy new. If you have Xcelite handles that turn white, simply put them into a RF tank and they come out clear and pretty. Those tanks are great for cleaning tools. Solder is also good in brass work.

I left several times what I took, including a little john lathe, and an old mill (bench top size, but I didnt have anywhere to put them, so had to leave them) it took me several days to sort into piles too, basically I only picked what I knew I would use, and still came away with 4 boxes.

All of these solders have a "paste phase" between solid and liquid (have to be careful you don't wiggle it or it will be frosty looking when it cools). 63/37 alloy goes from solid to liquid to solid with no paste and solidifies quickly. I just learned that:) The new lead free solders have much higher temps and are mostly tin 90-95%. The goal was to remove lead from plumbing and food sources, but of course they are trying to remove it from electronics even. There's nothing like more heat on components and traces as if my soldering wasn't bad enough already.

12:35 hexagonal thing with a slot and a tip, I have a set of something similar to these from the 1920's,. I remember father using them before hammer drills were common. My 'handyman' set was made by Rawlplug in the UK. It consists of 1 hex bar, 1 wedge to fit the slot and several paper packets of different sized 'drill bits'. To put a screw into stone orbrick you made the hole with the appropriate drill bit in the hex bar which you then hit the end with a big hammer while rotating the whole lot by hand. Once your fingers came out of plaster you tapped a Rawlplug fibre plug into the hole and you could then screw into it and it would hold pretty well. Put the wedge into the slot to drive out the drill bit

My wife bought the whole lot for $50. I sold two 6&1/2 oz Coke bottles for a dollar each before we had it all packed.

Sort them and make up several tool boxes and offer them to schools for those in trades training. Brass has good scrap value. China makes things you can no longer get in North America. Sad but True.

I keep a pruning blade in mine, it's perfect for trimming small limbs that are in your way. When it's folded it's smooth with no sharp edges so you can carry it in a pocket, and it won't stab you if you fall on it. The handle is hollow for carrying extra blades but they rattle and you have to change them with a screwdriver.

Yes I enjoyed it but the problem was I could shout, "stop, I know what that is...." You are correct, Xcelite tools were primarily electronic tools, my Dad was a raid and TV repairman since 1947 (passed away at the age of 90 and still working in his shop) and he had a lifelong love affair with their line of tools. That Fiskers scissors are FANTASTIC, I have a pair and although Fiskers shows them on their website they are no longer available. I use them in my woodworking shop and they work great for cutting paper, box board, and other material. Two of those, "what is it pliers" are for crimping coax cable ends, one is worthless as it is junk but the other one looked like a good set that would do a great job. You ignored a "Volt Pen" in one box, it is the black device with a white end. It is used by electricians to determine if a wire is hot. It works without making contact with the wire itself. But it look like the white cap was off and more than likely the battery had leaked all over inside of it, and when that happens all the magic is gone. Enough, my comment is too long, but if you are still reading this was a GREAT video.

I do locksmith work and I would pay a few dollars and the shipping on anything lock related if you’re interested.

Hello my friend. My dad was like you, and when he passed his 5 children went through his stuff and took what we needed. Then we threw the rest in a dumpster. The dumpster received about 80% of his findings. I hope your family is ready for that.

I like these videos very much. I also have many tools. A worked for a friend on and off over the years in his scrap metal and antique car and truck wrecking yard business that he has been running since 1953 that he started at 11 years old and still runs today. He has a house he lives in at the business and is like going into a museum. It was the best most fun job one could have. We would get jobs cleaning up property, old buildings and old houses. His place is like Dizzyland for people that like old stuff. Same guy who got the Corvette lead plate ad.

You had fun with this junk. There were a few nice items. It seems like whenever the guy needed a tool, he just bought a new one. I watched the whole thing and made me think about cleaning out my own hoard.

That metal box with the wires cut looks like an older version of my pool pump timer. It "initiates" the pool pumps as a set time every day.

I love these videos - my favorite type. I love learning about new (old) tools and what they’re for and if they’re any good. Its like an easter egg hunt too - taps into something primal.

Lyle - Enjoy these. Many electronic repair tools - several crimpers for various connector types. Same process I have gone through to get a couple good things, ended up with lots of odd ball and scrap. Keep it up.
