My wife is a teacher and retiring so she gave me a couple of carts to use in my shop. One is plastic with nice deep lips around the edges and the other is a metal overhead projector cart with basically lip on the shelves.

I’ll use the plastic one as a work cart and today I modified the projector cart for my welder, it is sooo much better than the lower Lincoln cart that came with the welder.

We stopped by the pawn shop to see what they had on the shelves.
Not much was found until we dug into the dollar tool bin.
I picked all these up for $1 each.
3 New Diablo sawzall blades, old timey wrench, Ford old timey wrench (not shown), cheap needle nose pliers, 12 inch Craftsman 3/8 extension, and a set of Craftsman Allen keys. $6 total.

Then they had 14 of these Diablo metal blades for $10.

And in a case with the pricey stuff, this set of Milwaukie hole saws for another $13.

Not hard to pull the trigger on these items as we all use them.

Max picked these items up from the dollar box...
A 1/2 inch Craftsman ratchet handle, a 1/4 inch Craftsman ratchet handle, and one of the little slider bar 3/8 inch doo dads. $3 for all...

In the box was a bag of wrenches, again all Craftsman brand.
There is a complete set of small metric box end wrenches and a complete set of double headed metric wrenches. It was $10.

He loves his Milwaukee tools and his tool bag got ruined.
There were two tool bags for $10 each that he snapped up.

Not really a tool either but I did hang a TV over the tool box yesterday. Ignore the mess, this is evidently the best I can do :p
I just have a 27" computer monitor and an ancient laptop, but it's enough to watch YouTube on and stream music or do research and buy parts.

If there's anything wrong with those ratchets, you can find USA made rebuild kits on ebay instead of the newer chinese junk.

No it's part of a tire changer,works like a champ. Okay technically it is the bottom half of a receiver hitch bike carrier. Way more usefull for changing tires.

Is that a home made piece you have there with the duck bill bit? I have that same HF tire changing stand.

@89Suburban yes that is a harbor freight tire changer someone threw out. The arm is hitch mounted bicycle carrier,the slide is 2 pieces of square tubing welded together,the duck bill mount is a cheap dumbell center welded to a piece of plate. If I were to do it again I'd just use 2 uclamps and clamp the dumbell to the arm . It works great
