Lost tool

If anyone here was in the Crazy Ray's PnP in Mt Airy this last Saturday I left a set of black metric sockets on the front bumper of the green w123 300D on the hill. I ran back this morning but they were gone, along with the mounting hardware for said bumper.

I know it's a long shot but, if you picked them up can I have them back?

Oh man, sometimes I feel like people are waiting for me to turn my back at the junkyard, that's how fast tools disappear! I remember walking away from a car and going back to get a forgotten screwdriver not 3 minutes later and it was long gone.

Sorry to hear about your sockets, I wouldn't hold your breath, however.

Yeah, I was just hoping as I know at least 3 people who scour the Mercs in the yard. JohnHef I believe has some weekend property in the yard somewhere.

Yea, I left a nice crescent wrench under a car once, went back and it was gone. Now I make a habit of always putting the tools back in my bag even if I am still working on the car.

This is not an advert and later adverts, if done, will be put in the classified section.

I don't have them because I am prolly 1000 miles away, but I will be selling some extremely hi quality (read Snap-On , Easco, Mac, Williams, Worcester, Indestro, and industrial-grade USA made tools) soon, along with 13 tool chests I got (long story, this happens sometimes in my business).

Anyway, matureo, if you need something, as a Peach parts person who got ripped, I will cut you a deal. PM me.

You may not know this, but Danaher Corporation makes pretty much all the industrial-grade tools in the US. Some of their stuff is heavier duty than Snap-On, especially in the 50mm+ range size.

And CDI (Consolidated Devices) makes the best torque wrenches, I believe, because they are super heavy-duty and made to be fixed. Usually only people who have them are NASA or labs, or work on Cummins trucks or the Citroen 11CV and 15CV, where you need 684 lbs ft to cinch up the 50mm bolts (65mm sockets, I believe) that literally bolt the body shell to the portion of the chassis holding the entire front-wheel drive train. And those are torqued in stages, so you can't just get fat guys like me to sit on the end of a five-foot bar. The torquing in stages keeps the body and front wheels aligned with the rear to avoid dog-tracking.

Assuming you don't want a set that's super big, I would be happy to work out something with you that will not be at nosebleed prices.

I got Snap-On wrenches up to 80mm in sets. Most people will not need anything near that big, but some people do, and I will never use more than one set, but I got to make sure I get enough for them to break even. The rest I bought to finance my tool collection, not make a profit.


Will do the later adverts when everything is set up and will put that in the classifieds.
