Reply:THAT JUST CAN'T BE.........THE ECONOMY'S SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE REBOUNDBtw.....that's one HUGE Morse taper thingy ya got thereThe adujstable spanner wrench is worth salvaging if you can.  They're pretty pricey when new.  It's a forged tool, but it might be welded with the proper technique.  Might be worth reading up on.  They're great for removing chucks from a lathe"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/

Reply:Nice little haul weldbead!I went to my local scrap yard yesterday too.Wanted to pick up a few things needed for a project, small stuff!The last time I was there about a week ago, the owner, an old friend of mine, I told him I was looking for some good usable welding cable, heavy stuff like 2/0, 4/0, and asked him to contact me if he got any in.Well!When I walked in yesterday, he yells, hey, I had a couple guys come in on Tuesday and Wednesday, they where cleaning out U-Tech's shop "a factory that closed a while back" they must have brought in about half a ton of 2/0 welding wire that looked new and on spools out of 2 tons of welding wire that they brought in, all of it looked good, but I didn't know if you where still looking for some so I scraped it, chopped it all and shipped it all out yesterday! Mind you!I could have got that new cable from him for $.25 a pound.Grrr!#1. If you don't like what I wrote, or if it offends you, then don't read it!#2. I am living life the way I see fit, if you don't like the way I'M living, tough sh**!
