The tool selection is extensive, with generators from Coleman Powermate and UST, a Skilsaw worm drive saw, multiple hammer drills, angle grinders, reciprocating saws, and a full spread of hand tools — wrenches, socket sets, pliers, screwdrivers, hammers, and more from brands like Craftsman, Pittsburgh, Ridgid, and Estwing. There's also a solid welding section with Hobart and Postalloy electrodes, protective gear, torches, and soldering equipment, plus a collection of blacksmithing tools including tongs, hardy tools, farrier pliers, and chisels alongside a set of blacksmithing and knife-making books.
Outdoor and sporting enthusiasts will find camping gear with Coleman lanterns and stoves, a military ALICE pack with sleeping bag, fishing rods and tackle from Daiwa, Zebco, and St. Croix, a Shakespeare recurve bow, a pistol grip crossbow, and an impressive knife collection featuring dozens of lots — folding knives, machetes, multi-tools, fixed blades, and even knife-making supplies. Military surplus items include cold weather gear, web gear, a Czech gas mask, medical bags, and military manuals.
The auction also includes a snowblower, push mower, garden tools, live animal traps, vintage collectibles like antique sad irons and oil cans, John Deere tractor emblems, Carhartt and camo jackets, ammunition and reloading powder, automotive fluids and supplies, and boxes of books spanning westerns, survival guides, cookbooks, and farm manuals.
