"whatever needs convincing" lmfao I cant!!! Great finds congrats.

I dropped the wife and kid at the movies and on my way home,
past an apartment house, what do I see but a 5 foot high
roll-around tool chest, with the garbage. Overflowing. I picked
thru it and found a bunch of small open end wrenches, pliers,
chisels, sockets, 3 sets of tap/dies and other junk.
So two things I grabbed right away - a large brass mallet
and a...vacuum pump. The mallet is now shined up ready for
whatever needs convincing. As to the K-D Tools Vacuum Pump,
it works and will pump up to 28.5 inches of vacuum. It's
cool but....is it good for anything fun? I added some pix.
Some of the tools were gigantic and probably used for heavy
equipment. I took smaller stuff and left the rest - I'm not
greedy. And, by the time I left, two other guys were picking
thru it. Great fun.
And, I steamed my B-43 Empire with homemade 400 watt heating
element yesterday for a 15 minute steamup. Runs like a champ,
built like a tank.
Fun, Laughs, Good Times,
Wayne
