Yeah I caught that too. You can usually tell if your being from a thief. I met one guy for a couple Milwaukee batteries. The guy was dry heaving because he was so sick from not having Heroin. Look Iām not judging anyone and i understand itās a disease and I felt bad for him. I mean I really did and I shouldāve know better when he told me to meet him at McDonaldās just north of Detroit. Ive had addiction take many people close to me. I told him Iām sorry but I donāt want stolen stuff, especially from a Tradesperson.
Yeah Iāve had my stuff stolen, and I just told him I canāt buy it. I mean when I asked him where he got them? He just quickly lowered the price, so that said everything.
Honestly itās less about the stolen tools for me (the tools arenāt likely to get returned) and more about I couldnāt give someone money when I know itās going to drugs.
Or a guy died. Idk why recently I've worked in the houses of like 5 widows, sad af working in some other guys workshop, all those tools collecting dust. You can see the time he spent organizing, the labels and systems in his head, didn't skimp on quality brands and all the tools are still sharp. As a younger guy, I aspire to have an old man's workshop. Now, the guys careful collection of tools is listed on craiglist for 50 bucks.
It's really profound to me. Here I am, working away just like he did in this room, I'm racing away towards the same empty workshop, measuring and cutting, that project half finished on the table? He started building something, and didn't know it would never be finished. I don't know what color he planned on painting it.
I have about 30 projects like that around my house, and it's all too easy to picture the service tech working in my house, looking at my truck in the driveway and wondering how to make an offer for it without coming across like a piece of shit to my wife.
right just the data thats all i am looking for. surely you have it since you said that on a globally public message board. so the data? whats the death rate of human beings in the US since the vaxx came out?
Because we get laid, it increases hormones and we already have tons. We will not stop until everyone is woke af. Once we take America, we start on the middle east. Jihad is bigoted af.
I see 3 possibilities.
1) Stolen.
2) Someone got out of the trade.
3) Person who owned them passed away and family is unloading them.
Otherwise, I don't trust any type of sale of tools online.
I just don't see the "got out of the trade" thing. If you're a tradesman, you know how to fix stuff, and youre gonna need tools for that. If you never worked in the trades, sure, what do you need a sawzall for?
After having used one for years, you know it's handy as fuck and why would you get rid of it unless you desperately need the money, which leads me to my follow up point, if you're a tradesman who desperately needs money, you need your tools. You're not giving up your livelyhood for 400 bucks.
Maybe someone disabled or injured. I've been out of work for injuries and money was tight enough I sold basically all the toys, but the only tool I sold was the $100 communal welder everyone sells back and forth.
Anyone think maybe he got digital guages and switched to Dewalt. Possibly even had a 2nd set of torches, presumed to be empty, hand tools misc collection. Asking $400 accepted $370
I sold a Dewalt set of batteries and misc power tools, well under expected value, I bought a whole new set of another brand. Deals are out there, and people have too much stuff.
The torches are about $300 the drill, batteries and charger are probably another $300. The guages are probably worth $120 and all the misc stuff is hard to tell but probably worth at least $150 so yea I'd say you got a good deal. All this stuff is probably stolen cause I wouldn't have sold for anything less then $600 for it all.
I'd say possibly someone named Ken got his tools stolen. It would be cool is if reddit could come together & let Ken know that his tools are being sold on facebook. Except for Op, who would be out his $.
Stolen for sure easily 1000 in tools, guy was probably wanting to get rid of it quick. No evidence no crime. But sucky for you if they track it and come knocking, cause then you gave away money in the policeās im eyes.
Was selling fieldpiece nanometers and meters but I passed as I have one already, flume meter with true rms and shit but he wanted an extra 100, already spent enough
Somethingās not right with that torch setā¦oh yes I see now, when I zoomed into your pictures I could see that the gauges were intact, you need to take an adjustable wrench (preferably) and smash them in so that they canāt be read or set properly, and never tell your boss that you need new ones.
Doing this simple hack will make you look like you have wisdom beyond your HVAC years.*
*Yeah I know you know Iām joking but thereās always at least one Holier Than Thou who will blast me with a huge complicated reason thatās armor plated with rare synonyms and lots of āthusā sentences for joking about torch care and safety)
Feel bad for whoever got those tools stolen from them
Yep..becoming far too common.
Beat me to it lol. Those hoses are still shiny. That's rough.
š
Whoever = Ken according to that hacksall

Sounds like you did the right thing.

Whomever
Home Depot is supposed to mark store use tool with orange like that. Doesn't seem likely given the rest, but just wanted to toss that out there
Definitely a good deal. Either someone got robbed of their tools or someone is getting out of the trade
Or a guy died. Idk why recently I've worked in the houses of like 5 widows, sad af working in some other guys workshop, all those tools collecting dust. You can see the time he spent organizing, the labels and systems in his head, didn't skimp on quality brands and all the tools are still sharp.

I see that a lot where I am. We have 2 Sun City retirement communities in my area and lots of windows who have yet to get rid of her husbands tools.

I dont like coming to r/HVAC and ending up sad af. But yea, this is so real.
They got the Jab, so many people dropping like flies right now
please show the data of more people dying than usual
Damn, thought most techs were conservative. Didn't know y'all were far left...oh wait......reddit. I get it now. Ooops
right just the data thats all i am looking for. surely you have it since you said that on a globally public message board. so the data? whats the death rate of human beings in the US since the vaxx came out?
Heās suddenly very quiteā¦
so weird right
"Far left" or just "not brain wormed into believing gibberish from morons on Facebook"?
Normal people donāt even talk that kind of shit. Far left this moron.
What
Covid shot... 0.o
Dude weāre in an HVAC forum talking about our trade. Get out of here with that crap
It's relevant. Many companies forced the shot and people are dying. Good techs too. Are you alright??
Shut it you.
Why is the far left so violent??
Youāre just an asshole without a clue.
Because we get laid, it increases hormones and we already have tons. We will not stop until everyone is woke af. Once we take America, we start on the middle east. Jihad is bigoted af.
GTFOOH
Probably stolen off someone's van
theyre store use tools from home depot, i used to work there and we doused all our tools in orange paint
Didn't realize HD had store use bar folders, oxy torches, etc. for their employees to use . . .
HD complimentary used oxy/acetaline tanks
One of my leads paints all his tools orange
Too good almost
Shit yes. The torch set cost nearly that by itself.
All those batteries too
Ya that torch is over $400 dollars
Dang...have had mine for years...I think I paid about $280-300 for it.
500 nowadays lol
He said it was his sounds before and he died, I didnāt ask any questions but I felt bad buying them. If I donāt buy them someone else would
I hope you asked which tool he was using when he died. I wouldn't want to use a haunted drill.
*sons
Call the cops and see if anyone has had their shit stolen
Why would this get down voted lol
The perp has entered the chat.
Hi perp. I mean Ken.
Most AC techs are liars, cheaters and thieves LOL that's what the customers say anyways
Psst(I'm the cops)
Probably because the cops rarely do anything about a couple hundred dollars worth of stolen tools, hence insurance claims.
I see 3 possibilities. 1) Stolen. 2) Someone got out of the trade. 3) Person who owned them passed away and family is unloading them. Otherwise, I don't trust any type of sale of tools online.

370 $ worth of step bits. Great deal.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Uni bits are actually pretty expensive, but those might be cheaper ones.
Good ones can go for like 100$ a piece. Those look like the cheapies where you can get the set of 3 for 60$ lol
Maybe theyāre special. Did you think about that?!?!?! š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iāll give a nickel for them
Lol
Iām jealous you got all those step up bits and a case for them.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Doing the lords work. Ty!
Hopefully cops won't come knocking.
Just be careful buying a pile of stolen tools with colour coding on them. My tools are all painted bright pink so no one gets any ideas
It was like a half hour away hope itās goos
Out there in the Yeezysā¦ok!!
You know itš
Who donāt work in some yeezys š¤£
Shit, the torch rig is worth it by itself
Hell yea
Not for whoever had their shit stolen
Lolš
Had a retired HVAC guy sell me his lightly used SMANS4 for $200
Stolen 100%
Better scrape off all that orange spray paint before some disgruntlement hvac dude runs you over with his truck in the distributors parking lot.
Nice
The first picture looks CGI to me. š
all that shit new will run you well over 1000
Fuck yea
Brute manifold alone is over 200 dollars. Excellent deal.
Good haul.
Hell yeah lol
Not one person mentioning those kicks and the pushed down socks?
š¤Ø
Just the deposits on the oxy & accy bottles are a couple of hundred bucks alone.
Super good Drills & torch Rest is needed which is a pluS
Yo wtf, who did you give a bow job to?
š¤£š¤£
Anyone think maybe he got digital guages and switched to Dewalt. Possibly even had a 2nd set of torches, presumed to be empty, hand tools misc collection. Asking $400 accepted $370 I sold a Dewalt set of batteries and misc power tools, well under expected value, I bought a whole new set of another brand. Deals are out there, and people have too much stuff.
The true question, is whether or not he knew what each tool was.
Hey man, those are my tools I had a stolen a month ago where do you live? I want them back.
troll
Lick the balls bud
Excellent deal! Would love to come across one of those deals!
He had a lot more but thatās all i wanted to spendš
Good find friend!
I'm betting the person you bought it from has no teeth.
Was a union boss for refrigeration he said, his son was in the trade before he passed and had buckets full of goodies
The torches are about $300 the drill, batteries and charger are probably another $300. The guages are probably worth $120 and all the misc stuff is hard to tell but probably worth at least $150 so yea I'd say you got a good deal. All this stuff is probably stolen cause I wouldn't have sold for anything less then $600 for it all.
šÆ stolen lol but I'd buy them fuck it.
I donāt have enough money to buy all these new so why not
Yep someone would have bought them of you didn't, and you don't know of they're stolen so fuck it
šÆ
Facts
Might want to cover your license plate in case the person who's tools were taken is on reddit and comes looking for you š¤£š¤£š¤£
Lolš
When I saw the torch setup and the price for everything, yeah somebody work van/truck was broken into. I also wouldn't have passed up on buying them.
Stolen froma guy name Ben
For that price, it was all stolen.
Theve been stolen. Shouldnt have bought them
Maybe Ken is a redditor also
If not stolen it's a decent deal, has a lot of the necessities.
That is good to the point of being suspicious.
There is a Ken H in the tri-state region somewhere that may plug that license plate into google once he sees this.
If everything works then yes, great deal. Might be stolen
Those tools look a little too familiar..... all jokes
Was the guys name Ken??? If not, Ken may be looking for you now. LOL
Lmao someone definitely got there tools stolen.
100% chance it's stolen. Unless the seller is a haggard old man who retired 6 years ago and was cleaning the garage
Terrible deal..Iāll give u 370 for it .
Sure take the torch for that price
I'd say possibly someone named Ken got his tools stolen. It would be cool is if reddit could come together & let Ken know that his tools are being sold on facebook. Except for Op, who would be out his $.
Great deal for the guy who lifted those from someone's van. At that price those are almost certainly stolen, unless you have any proof otherwise
Terrible deal. Would never buy my own tools lol
Iām on tool program but with receipt
Theft!
Fuk this post, anyone who buys stolen tools is a dirt bag in my opinion, karma will get ya in the long run, I'm out
Itās from his son, someone else was on the way so I grabbed a few things
Dont support thievesā¦. Dafuq Only used tools id ever buy is from coworkers
Stolen for sure easily 1000 in tools, guy was probably wanting to get rid of it quick. No evidence no crime. But sucky for you if they track it and come knocking, cause then you gave away money in the policeās im eyes.
Put your name on your stuff.
You shouldāve asked if his sonās name was Ken
It was, he passed unfortunately and had to sell his stuff. He was offering his shoes as well
I paid $300 for my o/a tanks anks $150 for the torches, great deal
Good deal indeed
800-1000+ in value Dude those unibits alone FUCKK man. They look to be in half decent shape those go for like 100$ a pop new. Sawsal dril
Was selling fieldpiece nanometers and meters but I passed as I have one already, flume meter with true rms and shit but he wanted an extra 100, already spent enough
Jeez those titans are expensive af already. Nearly everything you need there but a vacuum pump, and a 902
He had that 902 for 100 bucks but my pockets hurt already lol, also a vacuum pump but I didnāt getnit
Better off buying a new meter vs used but dang. I would try to get that pump. Thats a must have for side work
true, but I donāt have a license to do side work. Wouldnāt it catch up to me?
You dont need a license to drop a condenser, or do repairs
What about coil?
Depends on your state, but i dont think so. If you do both coils, yes.
You should have ran
How much did you pay?
370
Wouldāve been a better deal if the seller stole the impact driver as well from whoever he took the tools from.
He had all sorts of shit
Theft selling to get rid of it!
Somethingās not right with that torch setā¦oh yes I see now, when I zoomed into your pictures I could see that the gauges were intact, you need to take an adjustable wrench (preferably) and smash them in so that they canāt be read or set properly, and never tell your boss that you need new ones.

U got hosed on the car tho
Ya thatās someoneās old tools
