8 Pc Yard & Shop Tools

EIGHT-PIECE HAND TOOL GROUP - TRUPER DROP FORGED HEDGE SHEARS, SNAP-CUT NO. 191 PRUNING SNIPS MADE IN USA, RED-HANDLED GRASS SHEARS, LOPPER, ARROW-TYPE STAPLE GUN, HEAVY DUTY CAULK GUN, HAND DRAIN AUGER, AND A WOOD-HANDLED COMPASS SAW A mixed group of eight hand tools out of the same garage, covering yard work, shop work, and plumbing. The lot includes a pair of Truper hedge shears with DROP FORGED stamped blades and turned wood handles, a red-handled one-hand grass or hedge shear, a small SNAP-CUT NO. 191 pruning snip marked MADE IN U.S.A., a lopper with aluminum tube handles and black grips, a chrome staple gun of the Arrow T-series pattern with MADE IN U.S.A. and ARROW FASTENER lettering still readable, an orange heavy duty caulk gun with a built-in spout cutter and poker hook, a blue hand-crank drum drain auger, and a wood-handled compass or keyhole saw. Everything is used, most of it is dirty, and the older steel pieces carry rust. Practical for a homeowner, rent house, farm shop, or someone building out a first tool kit, and it runs alongside the tool tote, socket sets, hand truck, and yard tool lots in the garage block of this sale. NOTHING in this lot was tested, sharpened, cycled, loaded, or run, and no tool is represented as functional. Sold as a lot of eight tools. Description Truper hedge shears - long drop forged steel blades with a serrated lower blade edge, center pivot bolt, forged tangs, and two turned natural wood handles with metal rivet caps. Blade stamping reads DROP FORGED. One handle is printed TRUPER in red with what reads as AMERICAN ASH beneath it. A small yellow paper price or size sticker remains on the other handle but is too small to read and nothing on it is quoted. Overall length measures approximately 22 to 23 inches per the tape-measure photograph. Red-handled grass or hedge shear - single-hand shear with two long dark steel blades, a brass or bronze pivot and spring bracket, and a red painted metal or plastic handle. Overall length measures approximately 14 inches per the tape-measure photograph. No maker mark is visible on this piece, so none is claimed. Snap-Cut pruning snip - small orange plastic-gripped snip with a chrome or bright steel body, a red locking catch, and short curved blades. The body is stamped SNAP-CUT, NO. 191, MADE IN U.S.A. Overall length measures approximately 8.5 inches per the tape-measure photograph. Lopper - forged steel cutting head on two aluminum tube handles with orange collars at the head and black molded rubber grips at the ends. Overall length measures approximately 20 to 21 inches per the tape-measure photograph. A strip of masking tape or a label remnant is wrapped around one handle; nothing on it is legible and nothing is claimed from it. No maker mark is visible on the lopper, so none is claimed. Staple gun - chrome-plated sheet-steel body of the familiar squeeze-handle pattern, with an oval hand opening and a steel trigger lever. The raised lettering on the body reads in part MODEL, then a number that appears to be T-50 but is worn and NOT claimed, ARROW, FASTENER CO., MADE IN U.S.A. BY, and BROOK, consistent with Arrow Fastener Company of Brooklyn, New York. Because the model number and the full company line are rust-obscured, only the words legible above are quoted. Overall length measures approximately 7 inches per the tape-measure photograph. The magazine was NOT opened and no staples are represented as included. Caulk gun - heavy duty ratchet-rod caulk gun with an orange painted frame and trigger, a black steel barrel, a built-in spout cutter, and a wire seal-puncture hook at the nose. Frame lettering reads SPOUT CUTTER and PATENT PENDING. A paper label on the barrel reads CAULK GUN and HEAVY DUTY CAULK GUN with instruction text. Raised lettering embossed into the barrel is partly legible and appears to end in CO with the word PROFESSIONAL alongside, but the brand name in that embossing could NOT be read with confidence and is NOT claimed. The barrel is smeared with dried white and gray caulk residue. Hand drain auger - blue plastic drum snake with a black plastic pistol-style body grip, a black knob crank handle, a thumb set-screw chuck, and a coiled steel cable with a corkscrew tip protruding from the nose. Overall height measures approximately 11 to 12 inches per the tape-measure photograph. Only a short length of cable is visible outside the drum. The cable was NOT fed out, so no cable length is claimed and no statement is made about whether the full cable is present, kinked, or rusted inside the drum. Compass or keyhole saw - tapered narrow steel blade with a natural wood pistol-grip handle fastened with two large slotted screws. Overall length measures approximately 15 to 16 inches per the tape-measure photograph. The blade is dark and oxidized. No maker mark, etch, or blade stamp is visible, so none is claimed. In every measuring frame the tape lies flat on the concrete alongside or in front of the tool rather t
