The two Grants items, peaked my interest. W.T.Grants was a department store chain, that went out in the late 60s, maybe early 70s. They may have had a store line brand of tools. Never came across any, myself, but the name took me back. The store was in Chelmsford, Ma. For three bucks, you got quite a haul! Thanks for taking me back, to a time long gone!

[@357magdad]

Thanks for watching Lyle! Check out my video on those Grants awls! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqWncoeirbyAa6s

LOL, it's amazing you have the United Nations collection of wrenches. At 3$ I think it's a bargain, your wife is a keeper my friend.

Mrs Magdad is the best!

[@Rusty_ok]

I have the exact same craftsman toolbox without the bottom rust. Mine still has the red top tray. Recently tapped out mom’s stuff of the dents and cleaned it real good and painted the outside original silver/gray and the top tray red.

[@357magdad]

I think I have two similar craftsman boxes now - both missing the trays.

[@zackballard1892]

Easco is a Mfg in Arkansas. They made the Craftsman wrenches, among others for other companies! My brother’s father in law was an engineer for them. Great find!’

[@357magdad]

I think the v series Craftsman that came out of the box were made by Easco.

[@iFixJunk]

They made the sockets for Craftsman, too, at one time, I think.

I can’t wait to watch you restore some of the cool stuff from this. The knife, the plumbers wrench, the push-drill. Let’s do it!

I think you found the sister to my tool box find. My Craftsman tool box was found in a pile of branches at a lake house in Maine. Considering the weeds surrounding the tool box it had been outside for many years. The contents were similar to your find. Twelve inch Riggard pipe wrench, twelve inch Crescent wrench, Vietnam era military pocket knife, various Craftsman wrenches and sockets, etc. I saved about half of the tools (some too far rusted to be safe again). I can't help but wonder how someone would lose a complete tool box full of quality tools, left to the elements in northern Maine. I enjoyed your video.

[@357magdad]

Thanks David! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Toolboxes full of rusty treasure are fun!

Great haul!!! 3 bucks!!! Grants was a department store chain mainly located on the east coast. They were located up and down the east coast and were in business for about 70 years until they went bankrupt in 1975. They sold everything and were very popular, but they were victims of the recession of the early 1970’s. You could get a vibratory tumbler and those tools would be resurrected!! Fun video!!

Treasure!!!!! Dunlop used to be the British Goodyear. Used to make every type of rubber product you can think of. Those beautiful Jaguars and Aston Martins James Bond used to tool around in had Dunlop tyres on them. I can't remember there being tools made by Dunlop but it's possible. Stanley used to make tools in Britain too and they were very good. I have a few still and they are very jealously guarded. I'd have been over the moon with this haul there some great stuff in there.

[@357magdad]

Dunlap was a Sears brand. A more economical line than Craftsman. I think the brand was used by Sears from the late 1930's into the 1950's. I made a playlist of the projects from that $3 box - you may enjoy them!

I saw a Craftsman tool box sitting in a driveway at a garage sale. It had 10 or so drawers. I asked how much and the lady said $5.00. I whipped out 5 and bent down to pick up the box and couldn't move it. She told me she had a dolly if I needed it. I got the box to the back of my truck and a man from across the street saw me struggling and walked over to help me load the box. He said she must have had someone just put the box out because it wasn't there a half hour ago. He told me the Lady had caught her husband and was selling all his stuff while he was at work. The neighbor had bought guns, tools, and lots of stuff for a hundred dollars. The Craftsman box I got was full of high dollar tools that were all like brand new. Cordless tools of all kinds. Air impacts, drills, socket sets, everything imaginable.

[@Ron-vq3zl]

Hello Again, 357magdad! As I rather said in my previous reply, a few of those other tools also caught my eye, & I wanted to comment on those as well! The 1st of those, is that yellow handled Screwdriver Set. My Grandpap bought me a set of those, in 1986 or 87' (along with some other lower-quality tools), from a little discount tool store, in a plaza in Charles Town, WV; near where my family lived @ the time. He'd just given me an old car of his, & knew I didn't have but very few tools of my own yet, at that time, & thought I ought to be carrying some tools on the road with me. I never did like those Screw drivers much! LOL! I always felt that their handles were way too thin, & prevented me from being able to apply enough torque to loosen even the simplest of screws to properly crack 'em loose! Plus I always felt that the tips on the Philips Screwdrivers, were way too blunted!! They actually wouldn't go into a lot screw heads which I tried to use them on! Even though; they were actually the correct size, otherwise!! The last tool I want to comment on, is that miniature pair of pliers! My Grandpap always kept a set of those in his tool chest, in the various Auto-Body shops where he worked, & he also kept a pair either in the pants or shirt pocket, of his "everyday clothes" at all times!! :-) He swore by 'em, & told my Dad & I more than once, that a guy should always keep a pair of those on him, as you could be sure you'd end up needing them for something, at some point or other! After Pap died, (at age 76), in the Altoona, Pa. Hospital, from Cancer; on July 20, 1988, my Grandma found a set of those little pliers in his pants pocket when she finally went thru them shortly afterward! I ended up getting those pliers for my own, when I was permitted to claim some of Pap's things, about a week or so after he was laid to rest. I cleaned them up a bit, & tried always keeping them in my pocket as he did, but that became uncomfortable at times, so I eventually just began carrying THEM, (as well as a couple of Pap's Pocket Knives), in a large Hand Tool Box of my Dad's which I restored around that same time. Unfortunately, that Tool Box & all of it's contents, were stolen from my Dad's shed in 1993 or '94, by either a "sticky-fingered" neighbor kid, or sibling of mine!! Both my Dad & I, kept watch at the 2 or 3 Pawn Shops in that area, for several months afterward, but they never did turn up! However; my Dad & I both, got the feeling that one Pawnbroker was lying to us, when he said he'd never received the box, nor the tools! Grrr! Well enough of my "rambling on" LOL!! (as my Grandma would call it)!! :-) Again, I sure enjoyed this video, & seeing those few particular tools, & have sure enjoyed all of the memories which each "conjured up" for me!! Thanks So Much Once Again! Ron H. Abilene, TX. I

[@357magdad]

Thanks for watching Ron! I'm glad my tool haul brought back some good memories. Sorry to hear you lost that tool box!

[@Ron-vq3zl]

You're Very Welcome! Yes, I sure hated losing that toolbox for sure! The 1st reason of course; is because I'd put a lot of sanding time into it, plus 1 can of primer, & 2 cans of spray paint, (1 can of Red for the tray, & 1 can of Gray for the box). But also, at just 24 or 25 yrs. old, it was only the 2nd item I ever attempted to restore, & without a whole more training than simply watching my Pap, & my Dad, while they did paint jobs on both Cars & Trucks, but also smaller items, such as that box. Even so, that box, as well as the Push Mower Deck, I restored first; both turned out perfectly, & I was proud of them, plus; I hadn't gotten much use out of that box before it was stolen from me! :-) The 2nd reason was obviously, because of those tools & knives of Paps that had been in it, plus a few other small, specialty tools that either folks had given me, or I had found & bought cheap @ flea markets, which were NOT CHEAP, to replace NEW!! A 3rd reason, is because that box had been my Dad's. He had acquired it, along with various tools, while taking a "Heating & A/C Correspondence Course" from ASI, (Advanced Schools Inc.) in the early to mid 1970's. Dad never finished that course, as he began taking it/paying for it, using funds from his G.I. Benefits, (from serving in the U.S. Army from 1962-1964), & unfortunately, when he went to sign up for either the 3rd or 4th part of that course, he was notified that limit of his military funds had run out! Anyway, after that, the Toolbox set around in our house, virtually untouched, about the next 15 to 17 years! Then around 1988 or '89 or so, Dad began putting a lot of his other tools in it, & using it regularly. Shortly after that time, I went to spend some time w/my folks, one weekend, & while there, I helped Dad do a Brake Job on either he or my Mother's Car. Unfortunately, I've gotta "tell on myself" and admit that when we finished, I forgot and left the box's tray behind one the car's wheels!! You can imagine what happened next! Yep! Dad ended up backing right over 1 end of that tray, & squashing it, pretty good! LOL!! A short while after that, I noticed that Dad had emptied that box & wasn't using it; so I took it home with me, and very carefully, & laboriously, pounded that tray back into shape, stripped all it's paint, then brought it back to Dad for some welding that it needed. I then took it back home, & proceeded to restore both the tray & box! If I recall correctly, I went to give it back to Dad, & he was quite impressed, & proud of my work! He then told me that I could "hold onto" that Toolbox, and use it for my own tools, as the only Toolbox I had of my own, was a small, very shallow one, that wouldn't hold all the tools which I'd accumulated by that time! So anyway, that's total significance which that Toolbox held for me. Besides that, up until it was stolen, I still felt that- that Toolbox, at least partially, STILL belonged to Dad, & so I REALLY HATED to see it stolen, from HIM, as well as from me!! To this day, I search ebay, in hopes that - that ol' ASI Toolbox will turn up on there, & hopefully still be in decent shape, & that I can bid on it, hopefully; get it back! :-) Ron P.S. I neglected to mention that I found an expired ebay posting of one of those same ASI Toolboxes, just the other day! It wasn't MY toolbox though, as I could tell that it had never been restored, as even though that box was a bit rusty, I could tell that it still had all of it's original paint, plus there was no hint of weld, at the one end of the tray's handle. If it hadn't already been sold, I'd have likely did some bidding on it though! :-)

@@357magdad In my mind I picture someone working outdoors, at night with the light fading, and a storm on the way, they accidentally knock over their tool box in the dirt. And instead of putting everything back nicely, they just scoop everything up (rocks and all) and dump it into the toolbox just as the rain starts pouring down. Wait. Am I imagining this or remembering this???

[@RockIsland1913]

I was buying Easco tools from a local independently owned auto parts store ( when we still had them) to turn wrenches on the '61 DeSoto I owned at the time, now some 40 years later I still have, and use these tools along with many others. I buy every Easco I see at the flea markets, they have stood the test of time. You will find some with the NAPA name on them that otherwise look like any other Easco, and they did make some tools for Craftsman, but these will look like any other Craftsman wrench except for the codes. Evaporust will clean all that up, I paid more than three bucks for the last V series Craftsman 1/2" drive ratchet I bought, didn't need another, but it was all alone on the table with an idiot who let it sit out in the rain.

You have got tbe the luckiest guy in the world getting that box of tools for 3 dollars I couldn't buy those here for under 100 dollars . Just 1 rusty ratchet here is about 30 dollars. If I had those I would wash them in soapy water put them in a plastic tub put 4 gallons of white vinegar in it and 1 container of salt let them soak for 2 days wash them with sos pads dry them oil them and bam new tools. I've been restoring rusty tools for over 45 years now like that.

[@357magdad]

Thanks for watching Joey! I've got a playlist of the clean ups I did from that toolbox - check it out!

[@kennethstephens8046]

I’m not sure about the Dunlop. But the down step from craftsman for many years was Companion. Which they are actually great tools. I have many companion made in Japan pliers that I have inherited. Great high quality tools

[@357magdad]

The Dunlap line of tools first appeared in the Sears catalog in 1937 and was replaced in 1941 by Companion.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Eastco is one I'm going to start putting to the side. Seems like an under-loved company. tHanks for the video

[@357magdad]

Thanks for watching!

[@michaelchitwood5566]

Great Tool haul.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Michael. I made a playlist of the items from this haul that I've cleaned up.

[@georgelackey622]

I just got a loaded box, same one with the tray for $3 as well, not all the rust, but lots of good tools just dirty and grimy!

[@357magdad]

Sounds like a great find George!

[@ToolsandTime]

That's gotta be the deal of the year right there!

[@357magdad]

A lot of fun projects came out of that box! kzbin.info/aero/PL2LUCgmdqpXOKe7fWYo_2fTNEZ_QHkMDi

[@LarsonFamilyFarm-LLC]

Great deal...i'd throw all of them in a big bucket of vinegar 1 gallon with 1 gallon water....and let set for three days...take out wipe and clean and oil them. The craftsman box wrenches and rackets were the best. Do not underestimate that c-clamp...clean it up, paint and oil it...it'll see lots of years use. Cold Chisels are nice...clean and sharpen and oil.

[@357magdad]

Check out how the ratchet turned out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/foW2h5-VhpqDfsU

[@zartan7779]

Nice craftsman tools , need some cleaning but still nice

[@357magdad]

I hope I can get that socket wrench working!

[@valmonta3647]

I would start by restoring the box lol great price for all of that

[@357magdad]

I've got two of these boxes now, both missing the trays.

[@valmonta3647]

[@frelnc]

The two pruners are at both end of the spectrum for gardening. One is a bypass pruner, and the other is an anvil pruner. GREAT video. Are you going to try to refurb everything? I'd love to see that video!

[@357magdad]

Check out my video on the Floating Fulcrum pruners: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnnPqnScptOmjNk

[@cynt1111]

Just what everybody needs a box of rusty tools

[@357magdad]

I can't speak for everybody, but I was pretty excited to find this box of rusty tools!

[@garrockwaters304]

I loved the cutter with the fulcrum thing. I would restore that and use it to trim small branches, rose bushes etc. I have a straight fulcrum one that I like because the cutter bottoms out on an "anvil". I am sure this tool box refugee would have a lot more cutting leverage power. I would like to find a new on like it. It is made anymore? Good question.

[@357magdad]

I haven't been able to find out much about those pruners. It would be interesting to do a side-by-side cutting test with a standard prunner.

[@shedmanx3640]

Great score mate. Cleaned up, you’d make your money back and more just from “pokey things”. 😂😂😂

[@357magdad]

I really like the two Grant's pokey things!

[@DavidPlass]

That $3 has given you years of future videos. :-) I think the push drills were my favorite

[@357magdad]

I'm hoping to get a few good videos out of the haul!

[@1pcfred]

That chrome spiral screwdriver is the real deal. We'll see if he can resurrect it. It's a pretty delicate model. Mine's in far better shape and it does not even run too good.

[@steve.b.23]

Bargain! Lots of pokey things for magdaughter to have a stab* at and a couple of rocks for Chuck to perch on. Should make for some interesting videos. Looking forward to seeing them. *pun most definitely intended : )

[@357magdad]

I hope to get at least a few good videos out of that box!

[@willemstreutgers1154]

Love this.!!! If restored you can add a $100.00 to the value

[@357magdad]

I like your thinking Willem!

[@trevorjowers9669]

great find all that patina in one place

[@357magdad]

There was even patina in the air at one point!

[@That70sChannel]

I have four tool boxes like that three of them came badly spray painted. This spray paint came off with lacquer thinner. Different stores for each. Gave $8-$12 for each if I remember. A couple have the socket tray still.

[@357magdad]

I've got a pile old metal tool boxes. I put them out in my yard sale every year and rarely sell any.

[@denniswhite166]

I would take the Craftsman tool box, ratchet, wrenches and sockets to be exchanged at the nearest Lowe's for new ones.

[@357magdad]

A buddy at work tried to exchange a broken Craftsman ratchet at Lowes and they wouldn't take it. I tried to contact Craftsman online for him but they never answered me.

[@Part_121]

After the red pruners are cleaned up, a little creative painting can make them look like a parrot. Then you’d have parrot pruners.

[@357magdad]

MagDaughter is a pretty good artist - she could probably do it up nice!

[@nikxohs3925]

red tool is not for pruning is for some kind of thermoplastic pipes(dont know name in usa, but here we use it to cut pipes that you connect with heating or special bronze adapters). it cut straight and clean and dont push the round pipe out of blade

[@357magdad]

Thanks for watching! It is indeed a pruner. Video coming soon!

[@RestorationAustralia]

Wow great score for sure.

[@357magdad]

I have projects for years!

[@anthonygonzalez7488]

I went to a yard sale and bought an old box of Ferrari and Lamborghini manuals for $ 5 dollars. I sold one of the manuals for $ 700 dollars.

[@357magdad]

Impressive!

[@frankg3072]

Great find! Can’t wait to see the restorations. You have enough for quite awhile!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Frank! I got more projects than time right now!

[@wireworks616]

What a great haul.

[@357magdad]

I love yard sales!

[@carbidejones5076]

Fun, I love this sort of thing

[@357magdad]

You never know what you'll find at the next yard sale!

[@dougmcartin3881]

Get yourself an old storage tub or cooler and put a couple of gallons of white vinegar in it. Drop those rusty tools in there and let them soak for a few days till the rust is gone. The vinegar used to be about $4 a gallon at Walmart but don't know now. Cheap and effective rust remover. After that some WD-40 and you're good to go.

[@357magdad]

I've used vinegar with success. I am a fan of Evapo-Rust also.

[@ydocproductions5593]

All of that for $3!?! What a great find, you just got yourself a years worth of tool restorations🤣

[@357magdad]

So much rusty junk, so little time!

[@hobbitreet]

Favorite? The sockets.

[@357magdad]

The Evapo-rust did a nice job on the sockets. You can get a peek at them here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foW2h5-VhpqDfsU

[@stanellis7805]

Mrs. magdad has a great eye! My wife would stand in front of it to keep me from seeing. All great subjects for restoration. For some reason, I think the JC Penny pliers are cool. One can only wonder how the rocks made it in the box 😁.

[@unwired1281]

Grandkids = rocks.

[@357magdad]

Mrs Magdad and I make a good yard sale team! I think the box had a stream run through it!

[@wayneo7307]

He Probably Worked on Cars in the Dirt Driveway Like Me ! And Just Threw Everything in There! Not Like Me !

[@castleladpaza76]

The kamp King pocket knife is well worth a clean up and a challenge

[@357magdad]

I'm looking forward to working on it!

[@timeflysintheshop]

The JCPenny pliers may have been the best Gem in that box. Depending on how well the pocket knife turns out!

[@357magdad]

I'm looking forward to working on that pocket knife!

[@carldelawter8900]

Ignition pliers, pocket knife & of course thee wooden handled screwdrivers. When you gonna do-em?
