Old stuff you still use.

Too cool! I like the sears stuff.
I have a similar timing light.
My old sears charger broke years ago. Should have kept it and fixed it.

Yes Sears use to be the anchor mall store in bigger centers and small towns had order and pickup stores. Plus delivery in bigger centers well before Amazon!

This mug was a promotion when you bought a set of Cragars. Still use it to hold pens and markers.

Recent find at my Churches Rummage Store, I haven't found a USA made knife in years at flea markets, I find some Japanese knives but mostly China which are absolutely junk.

Sandy-Jet sand blaster. I've been using this since 1979. It is small, but I've made it work for every job I've done with it, even if it took a while.

I purchased this Craftsman Oxy-acetylene set in 1981 at Sears. I've been using it since then for brazing, heating, cutting, and some light mild steel welding on occasion. I originally made a cart from an old hand truck, and used it for years, but later replaced it with the nicer cart here.

I'm surprised that sand blaster has lasted that long! 46 years. Wow.

The siphon gun inner path for the sand flow is worn, but still good. It has replaceable nozzles, and I have worn out many of them. It came with steel nozzles, but I later switched to ceramic nozzles which last longer.

I also have a high pressure blaster, also by Sandy Jet (ALC), that I got ~1990, but I don't like using it much. It is faster, but a lot messier. I built a blast cabinet that I connected to the siphon gun and hopper for a while, but now I just blast outside behind the shop. I have a small Clarke blast cabinet for little stuff.
