Damn how'd those drill bits get thrown out???

@Damaku250 workshop clean out, somebody had to move in a hurry and dumped the lot.

Deceased estate clean-outs are the best. everything goes!

that fan is ace! Though a finger shredder on it's own. Seen your skill you could rebuild that fan in a flash. That's funny I thought people only threw away New Masonry bits here in the states, but I guess they do it to in Australia . One time I found about 10 Craftsman metric wrenches at the junk store all for .50 cents each would have been 5-10 each for them and they were basically new not even a scratch on them.

Your not wrong man!

I haven't bought a new hand tool from a retailer in years, everything comes from yard sales, scrap yards or surplus machine dealers, and most is barely used!

Wow! what a great find! good for you!

I like that little old fan at the beginning did you keep it

Selling wise i get $2.00 per lb copper, 80c clean AC coils, $1.00 brass, $60 per imp ton of steel. (All Aus Dollars)

Buying from them it depends who is is thats buying, and what they want. rolls of new copper pipe are $6.00 per kg,, but crushed crappy copper is $4.00 (domestic copper)

[AdultoysUSA]

whats the price per lb there for various metals, turn in & purchased?
