Garage sale via bicycle today, testing the tour bike for cargo. Works, but a bit top heavy when loaded with the pannier full of 30 lbs of garage sale tools. Kickstand would be helpful in this situation. #BikeTooter #garagesales

Picked up a hooker... err.. "The Hooker" via bicycle. 😜 (sorry, sorry.)

(Update: this apparently is a vintage/antique tool for prying open crates! This one alone paid for the rest of the bag o tools.).

Bridgeport 1940 ad including this particular tool.

@ai6yr looks like a fencing tool for barbed wire and such. You need to pry up a lot of fasteners and then hammer in new ones. Plus a bottle opener for lunch break.
