Hi guys,

Got this from Gary Roys today:


  Here is the description from the Craigslist ad...

  I am selling my tools and boxes. This is for everything as one sale - 
No trades - Will not separate

I have quite a few tools and 99.9% of them are quality tools. Mostly 
older Craftsman (60's and 70's), Mac and Snap-On. NO HARBOR FREIGHT 
CRAP. Many sets of wrenches in every configuration, both inch and 
metric. Every socket imaginable, in short, med and deep and 6 point and 
12 point. I have all kinds of pliers, including snap ring and any type 
of wire cutter. Vice grips, channel locks, small and large screw 
drivers...I have drill bits, every size tap and die, files, all kinds of 
engine assembly tools, ring filer. There is a set of dial bore gages, 
digital calipers, etc. There are Crescent wrenches, tubing wrenches, 
picks, chisels, punches and several Torque Wrenches......

There are multiples of the 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 air wrenches, small air 
grinders and air hammers.

The Mac Tool Box is the 35th Anniversary Mustang Box and the other is a 
Costco Stainless Box. I bought both of them new and they have only been 
in my garage and are in perfect condition. There is more than $4,000 in 
just the boxes.

I have pics of every drawer and there are way too many to fit in the ad. 
I will send them to you upon request.

My garage is heated and there is absolutely no rust on any of these tools.

$9,500 for everything - No lowball offers - No trades - Will not 
separate tools from boxes.
I live in Troy, Michigan.

I have spent many days working in Gary's garage (mostly on my Mustang), 
and I can tell you, he has EVERYTHING.   Those few things that I felt he 
needed that he didn't have, like ratcheting wrenches, *I* bought for him!

I can't begin to calculate what it would cost to replicate this tool 
collection if you bought them new--$20K?   $30K?   Lots, anyway.

His brother lives nearby and has an almost identical collection of 
tools, so this set is surplus to the cause (they race a NASCAR stocker 
together; his brother drives, and Gary wrenches).

So, if you're interested in being The Man in your neighborhood with all 
the tools, give him a shout!

Mike
