Those gov't auctions are awesome if you are handy and can haul stuff.

I have an 18" Powermatic Drill Press ($125 -- go ahead, price a new one). It needs cosmetic repairs and likely some bearing work on the electric motor, but it still drills straight and true. I also bought two wire baskets full of pipe wrenches, a steel Mac floor jack, a Wilton vise and a Reed vise. Refurbed the vises and have them mounted in my garage. Sold the pipe wrenches (2-48", 1-36, 2-24) to an oil field worker and a collector. Also scrapped about 500 lbs of steel/cast iron. I'm so far ahead on what I paid vs. what it cost me it's ridiculous (including the UHaul trailer rental). BTW: anyone need a tire chain tool? Still have that hanging in my garage...lol

I'd love a big diesel generator like the ones you got Stunt. Nice haul.
