Hoarding/Tool Collectors Gold Mine

[Blackbirdws6]

Older friend of mine who recently lost his brother (only 52) asked me if I needed any tools. We head to the house and go into the basement. My jaw hits the floor at the amount of tools and equipment that I saw in the basement. The funny thing was he was attorney and must have made decent money, but was always broke. Now his brother knows where all his money went. You can't do any work down there since its so packed but all the equipment is brand new or like new. This isn't just a bunch of crappy Harbor Freight items either. Most of the tools are from respected brands or custom ordered. Just from what I could see without digging in deeper included the following.

4 large tool chests (Craftsman/Husky) - Full of tools
2 large dust collectors
Drill press
Lathe
Overhead crane
Power tools, all kinds (DeWalt, Milwaukee, etc)
All kinds of woodworking tools and tons of furniture quality wood
Gas powered chain saws, hedge trimmers, outdoor equipment
Reems of electrical wire, electrical equipment, brass pipe valves, etc etc
10 gal and 3.5 gal parts washers - brand new in box

I feel a bit silly even trying to describe it since it's something someone has to see to believe. All of it is for sale and he needs to move the items quickly. I will be going over there on Sunday to snatch up the items I want like one of the big tool boxes and likely a few other items. I believe he is doing a big sale the following weekend.

[BonzoHansen]

LMK when the sale is. Is the drill press big?

[WildBillyT]

****. If I was not sick as a dog I'd go today.

[1320B4U]

Please keep us posted on the date of the sale..thanks.

[KevinW]

I always wanted a lathe. yes let us know the sale date! And if there is any chance for a NJFBOA pre sale. :D

[Blackbirdws6]

LMK when the sale is. Is the drill press big?

Drill press isn't huge but a very nice size to likely tackle most project. I believe I saw 2 extra brand new switches for it as well. It looked barely used lol.

For something like this, I will not be posting the address or my friends contact number openly since this is an open forum. When I know the official date of the sale, I can send it to those I know with the info so there is no funny business.

[sweetbmxrider]

DIBS!

Could take a decent camera when we go and take some pics for these guys and do some middle man things. Who knows, maybe you'll need to borrow it in the future and I'm sure they'd be willing to lend it out :)

I will bring a decent camera on Sunday to try and capture as much as possible. I let my friend know that there is a lot of interest so once he has the date and time nailed down, I can get that info out.

[Savage_Messiah]

[KevinW]

I have a spare craftsman oiless that I would like to see gone from my garage to save some space. It works fine, but did not keep up with my glass beader cabinet. The only down side is that it is more noisy than oiled. 25 gal, 120v, 15A, 175 psi max, 2 stage oilfree black craftsman professional. no cfm rating that I could find, but it is rated a 7 on the craftsman scale. Located in central jersey.

It is this model http://www.searsoutlet.com/d/product_details.jsp?md=ct_md&pid=9142&mode=seeAll

[Lt1_8U]

Lol. I need one badly.

PMED about the craftsman one.

[Tru2Chevy]

Please add me to the list Brian, there is a handful of tools that my collection is sorely lacking.

[Blackbirdws6]

[monte383sbc]

[grazi]

I would be interested in the parts washer also and other stuff if it didn't get snatched up already.

[Blackbirdws6]

Just a quick update. A few people got down there this weekend and purchased items but there is still a lot left including some of the big items. I will post pics tonight of the more notable items. I was hoping that when I went through some of the tool boxes, I would see better mechanics items but there wasn't too much worth grabbing there.

I'm working out with my buddy the best way to handle a sale for next weekend. Once you get more than a 4 or 5 people down there, it gets too crowded so I suggested that you let people come during time slots.

Again, pictures will be posted tonight with the bigger items including.

- Large 60gal+ compressor
- 30 gal? compressor
- Drill press
- Large lathe
- Electric Crane - Rated for 500lbs
- Nice large, black rolling cart with drawers
- Bottom tool box with maybe 10 drawers
- 2, 1 new/1 used DeWalt bench grinder
- 1 older but pretty cool standalone bench grinder
- Sawzall, grinders, general electric saws, etc
- Tons of woodworking hand tools

[sweetbmxrider]

The place is geared more towards wood working.

[LTb1ow]

[BonzoHansen]

[LTb1ow]

Shoulda seen the band saw...

[PolarBear]

I need that two man saw to cut down a wall in my living room

[wretched73]

I'd be interested in that dewalt bench grinder and the lathe (if it is a wood lathe, can't tell from the pic) If they are still available. And possibly the compressor if I get the OK from my dad for keeping it at his place.

[sweetbmxrider]

There is a larger and a smaller wood lathe along with everything you need for them. You just have to find it all :lol:

[sweetbmxrider]

There is a couple scattered about....

[PolarBear]

Sweet, I wont have to fight anyone for one then, like that drill press that I want :rofl:

[Blackbirdws6]

He is looking for $875 OBO for the drill press, $1,200 OBO for the large wood lathe. PM if interested.

[sweetbmxrider]

There is a small oxy/acetylene torch too. Good size for someone's garage.

[LTb1ow]

And a lot of misc old penn reels, prob not collectable stuff but def quality old penn stuff.

Theres a brand new dewalt cordless drill in case as well.

Also an anvil.

[sweetbmxrider]

I believe your buddy took the anvil or wanted it at least.

[sweetbmxrider]

Couple calipers here and there too :lol:

[WildBillyT]

I actually could use some new calipers.

[Blackbirdws6]

I actually could use some new calipers.

There are....a number of them available. Not sure if I mentioned it but the house is located in S. Amboy.

LTb1ow is offering free lifting and transportation from what I hear.

[LTb1ow]

:NO:

Well, will work for the lifting straps.

[sweetbmxrider]

How much did he even want for them? I should have grabbed a couple for hoisting motors with the boom.

[grazi]

Anybody who is planning to go there. There is tons of stuff. Wouldnt wait too long, though, the good stuff seems to be going pretty fast.

[V]

does he have any framing nailers or finish nailers? (air powered)

[grazi]

There were two older framing guns with alot of plastic collated nails for it. The guns were really, really outdated though. There was a couple trim guns that were alot older too. In the distance there was a smaller trim gun that was newer. I'm pretty sure it was a 23 gauge micro-pinner. Only good for tiny stuff like cabinet crown and skins on cabinets. The nails are like needles. I didnt really bother pulling it out cause I have one.
Maybe Blackbird can cofirm this, Its really hard to explain how much stuff is there. You kind of just have to see it for yourself. There are file cabinets buried in the corner and you open the drawer and theres like $500 worth of brand new forstner drill bit sets and brand new drills. If you guys are thinking about going, I would definitley try to get down there soon. Theres was about 6 or 8 people pillaging every thing in sight as we were there.
Partial list of what I bought:
The 60 gallon air compressor
Echo chainsaw
Craftsman generator
Brand New Milwaukee scope
Bosch planer
Dewalt Laminate Trimmer
Dewalt Hammer Drill
Bosch corded drill
Dewalt bench grinder
HVLP spray gun
10 or so sets of brand new drill bits, tips and shaft sets
A couple other things I'm forgetting.

[Teds89IROC]

He has another air compressor?

[grazi]

He has another air compressor?

As of yesterday there was another 30 gallon compressor. I didn't see what brand it was though

[iroc86NJ]

What brand is the table saw and how much are they looking to get for it? Also how much does he want for the Carpenters screw drivers and does he have any hand planes?

[Blackbirdws6]

Not sure on the first couple questions but I know he had a stack of hand planes and a bunch of carpenter screw drivers.

[grazi]

There had to be over 10 hand planes

[elle]

Looks like you guys are getting some good deals!
