[Bacon Butty Man]

just got back from a car boot sale, i have been extending my tool kit lately and have just picked up a load of tools in an old tool chest for £10, The chest is beyond repair i think but will look at that tomorrow, the sockets n ratchets were  al little rusty as i think they have been left in a damp garage, i lovingly put each an every item in the vise and wire brushed them and what a suprise, they came up nice and even better they are mostly snap-on  , its a full set exept a 10 mm extended socket,  the rust turned out to be very surface/stain like, its all come up like new.  
even came with a full set of snap-on ratchets lol, i was going to invest in a set of halfords pro tools, no need now.

just tried all the ratchets and spot on, i thought that maybe they would slip under pressure, i have a bolt that is rusted in to a piece of angle iron that i could not remove, broke 2 cheepy ratchets n stripped many 10mm sockets trying, i though hmm, test it on this bugger, the mid size one, (can never remember the correct sizes of the ratchets) with a little heavy ho shifted the bolt. so i think i can safely say all is well with bbm's snap-on tools   :exclamation :exclamation

looks like the tool chest may just need a good oiling n clean, the drawers open well enough, the casters are ceased but sprayed with penetrating oil n see how they are iin the morning

if its some of the older Snap on stuff then it was/is very well made, that was back in the day when they gave a geniune lifetime warranty

you got a serious bargain, i'll tell you what, i'll give you £20 for the lot, you've doubled your money, and that's not a bad profit
