    Want some quality, American-made Tools?

    header.jpg
    I have about seven toolboxes worth of classic American made tools. They all came from the estate of a retired Bell System (now AT&T) lineman. All these tools are made by Irwin, Stanley, Crescent, Utica Tool, etc. for Bell System, a defunct telecom company. These tools date back to the late 1970's and early 1980's. Most of them are stamped "Bell System"

    These tools are used, but in good condition. I cleaned some of them up with a wire brush, and lubricated all the moving parts. Some of these are speciality tools for telecom use.

    SHIPPING NOT INCLUDED, RANGES BETWEEN $3-$10 DEPENDING ON SIZE AND DESTINATION. Group Bundle Discounts offered.

    These are all speciality pliers, I have no idea what they do or how to use them. They are probably made for specific telecom purposes like terminating phone lines. If you can tell me what any of them are for, that would be great.

    I’ll take it if it’s flush cut. Can I get a better picture of the cutting part?

    I wanna fund myfairladyZ so here goes...



    I'll take this cause it looks cool
    20200805_211953.jpg



    Is this a Schrader valve removal tool? If so ill take it as well

    20200805_211831.jpg


    See this screwdriver I have circled? The size of the flathead is no wider than the size of the shaft diameter (at least it looks like it to me) that's known as a cabinet tip screwdriver 20200805_211907.jpg

    Could you measure the length of that shaft and the width of the tip for me? I might take it as well as this one20200805_211932.jpg

    But ill only take that yellow one if it's a cabinet tip ... hard to tell in the photo





    Also dibs on the freebie tool kit.... buy the looks of it the collar should unscrew and each "head" should be interchangeable

    I've sold QUITE a bit of tools in the last five hours, here's what I have left from your original list. The screwdriver head is indeed the same size as the shaft.

    Here are the Proto measurements:

    Your guess is as good as mine. I think I’ve come to the conclusion they’re for crimping telecom line. You think that’s weird? Look at the jaws of the yellow one:

    Dang, I missed out on some good deals! Would've snagged some of those pliers but the ones I'm interested in already sold. Best of luck with the sale :thumbsup:
