Sometimes 'stuff' just follows you home. laughing7
Kay and me checked out several yard sales in and around Winston-Salem and I found a lot of tempting tools, like some old braces, some old Stanley wooden bodied levels, plus lots of other tools that I was able to resist except for these two.
Our printer went out a few days ago and I've been debating on what to do for a replacement because we do not print very often, mostly just the odd copy now and then.
So... for $5 I could not pass this one up, works great and it still has some ink in the tank. :thumbup:

And this Workmate 550.
My shop has plenty of bench space and movable/portable stands so I didn't actually need this Workmate, but you know how it goes... wanted it and there it was! I was never willing to spring for the cost of a new one and the ones that I've seen in yard sales have been over priced, but at $25 this one seemed just right.
