Weekend Garage Sale score - Big Proto wrenches

lowbucktruck · Sep 20, 2011

I told myself, got chores to do, I've got no business driving by a garage sale today... well... heck. Maybe just for a minute...

And found a set of Proto Professional wrenches (big-uns!). The guy had marked them down from $60 to $50 to $40... and today he took $20 bucks for the set. Not a bad score! And he threw the Proto chain wrench in with the lot. Can't beat that deal with a stick! I was grinning all the way home. :thumbup:

Now I think I might have to come up with some creative tool storage solution for these big boys, the tool boxes will fill up quick. This tread got me to thinking about that problem:

It was nice of that man to GIVE you those wrenches

They was a gift for sure!

Worth lots more, but not easy to sell at a garage sale.

You didn't list sizes, but likely any one of those wrenches is $20 retail today.

1 7/16 is the next to largest wrench. I think the smallest wrench was a 7/8 size.

I see a 13/16, 7/8, 15/16, 1, 1 1/16, 1 1/8, 1 1/4, 1 7/16 and I can't make out the biggest one, 1 1/2?

I gotta stop working in the yard, or on the house and go garage sale-ing on the weekends!
I must be missing out on a lot of deals.
