The CJ2004 puller set is $1,500.00 new from Snap-on, The CJ2003 is $805.00. Figure half price or even more for used. Had those sets at my auto shop, excellent pullers. It looks like you may have most or all of the Snap-on master puller set CJ2000S, which is $4,800.

You sure did better then Geraldo! Thanks for taking us along.

I think the former owner was pulling your leg by putting all the pullers in the cabinet. One thing I have learned over my 72 circuits of the sun is that the higher my expectations, the greater my disappointments. No expectations, no disappointments.

This is not the collection of a backyard mechanic. Very impressive.

Snap on,OTC, pin presses! . No doubt will pay for old lathe. Congratulations Mr. Pete

I love the disdain for any tool that doesn't have a name on it, but the absolute love for a rusted out pos lathe

The contents of that cabinet just made that a fantastic deal, the lathe is just icing on the cake. The Snap On puller set, the long OTC puller, and the various specialty automotive pullers make that a better than $5k load of tools. Many of the unbranded pullers may just be OEM supplied tools. The total value of those pullers far exceeds the value of the lathe, even in perfect condition. I've got most of those pullers from years of working in dealerships and I can't even imagine how much they all cost total when new.

You hit the jackpot Mr Pete

Had a repair business thirty plus years and had everything you unpacked easily when I retired. There's easily eight to ten thousand dollars new cost for what you unpacked

That is a set of pullers fit for the maintenance tool crib of a good size manufacturing operation, never mind the purely automotive stuff. You did great - as others have said don't let it go too cheap as many are high dollar sets. Great video.

Thanks Mr Pete. I'm sorry it wasn't what you were hoping for, but I'm glad it was something of value and not scrap metal. You probably got the only thing at the auction that wasn't ruined. I wish you a quick recovery from that tooth.

Old Cat mechanic--Having and using a puller that makes the job easier is priceless for me!!!!!!!!!!! Like to have them all!!

Great Video ! Best quotes of the morning : “I think he’s in the penitentiary” “ Holy mackerel, is that a puller”

A few thoughts: When you need a puller, nothing else will do. -- This video is way more exciting than Geraldo's TV special. -- My Dad always said, "Locks are for honest people". (of course I'm not implying anything towards you Mr Pete) Thanks for sharing the adventure in spite of the lack of lathe tooling.

HOLY MOLY! THE MOTHERLOAD OF PULLERS!!!! You can definitely sell the Snap-on stuff for what you paid for everything! You did very well! I wished you luck at that auction, and IT WORKED! 👍😁👍

I was completely unaware of a " puller fetish"

I am glad you did not find a LEG PULLER! I feel comfortable that you won’t be pulling our legs in the near future.

I remember watching a 60 Minutes piece about pick pockets. They interviewed an old ex-con pick pocket who lamented that nobody was learning the "trade" anymore and these days they "just knock you in the head and take your wallet." He said the same was true with lock pickers. It is easier to knock the door down than to learn how to defeat the lock. I was pretty impressed with how fast you got into that cabinet...and I hope the kid who taught you will get out soon.

Be of great cheer! Finding new, or almost new, Snapon tool sets is always a good thing. I'm sure you will come well financially and mentally.

The good thing about the items in the cabinet is they were protected from the rust. Sorry that you only found the 4 jaw chuck as the only lathe part but that is one less thing you will need to locate. The good thing with the Atlas Craftsman 6" series is that there is lots of tooling that can be found - just need deep pockets - hopefully you can sell the pullers and come out ahead enough to purchase most of the tooling and that the lathe itself cleans up to the point where it is useable. Thanks for the mystery tool cabinet episode - I enjoyed it.

We were dying to know what was in there. You got two great finds this trip and I think the contents makes the price you paid well worth it.

Wow, you hit the jackpot on that cabinet contents. Anyone with a shop would love to make a purchase like that. Lots of value in those pullers.

That is a totally fantastic haul.

That has to be the world's biggest PULLER collection!

Wow, awesome deal on a huge collection of pullers. Plus, they threw in a free lathe.

Ebay sold prices puts you at least at $1000. Quite a haul. You will be able to get the accessories for the Atlas 6. Thanks for sharing.

Can't believe there were so many pullers in that cabinet. Many are in good condition & should sell . Good luck from South Australia Thanks for your videos

I've put a lot of use on the Harbor Freight pulley installer and remover sets of that vintage. They're nearly indestructable. The modern Maddox Fuel injector tester is also fairly decent.

Wow - awesome auction success!! They DO have little slide hammers in dentistry! I have 13 or 14 crowns, bad teeth all my life. Had an old Army dentist. Dr. Ben Bell who was a fast, no nonsense guy - great dentist. He did 6 crowns at once for me and used his little slide hammer for pulling the new crowns off when they got stuck as he was fitting them all before cement. It had a little claw hammer like hook. Anyway, I commented that I had a much larger one should he need it and that got a little laugh from him.

Nice haul Mr Pete. The tool in grey box that you thought was for u-joints is for removing ball joints. Cheers

Fascinating! It's a crying shame that the remainder of the Atlas accessories weren't in the box! It sure seems like the owner of that did quite a bit of suspension and undercarriage work on cars. Makes you wonder what the lathe was used for in such a shop. One item which seems out of place with all the automotive puller tools is this - At 22:51 you open the lower drawer of one of the small red boxes and pick up a small tool with a slot in the center and some round holes, and two wing nuts. You mention it may be a flaring tool. That is actually a refrigeration pinch-off and re-rounding tool. The "jaws" in the center can crush copper tubing and stop the flow of gas. Once you have performed your service procedure, you place the tube through one of the round holes, and close the tool again. The round hole will "re-round" or open up the copper tubing. Many decades ago, before the advent of Schrader valves, people would use this tool to prevent loss of their refrigerant charge while disconnecting gauges and placing a cap over a non-Schrader service port. Or, they would cut the tubing and solder the end closed after servicing the system. I have a hunch that the people at the car shop "may have" used those to close off brake hoses to stop the loss of brake fluid while doing suspension work. This is a bad idea since it damages the hoses, but people do it regardless. I did get a kick out of the lockpicking. Some of us don't like destroying things, including locks. I had to learn to do this as well, to open some of the old soft drink coolers I repair. The lock cylinders are typically available but often if you try to destroy the lock, other parts of the mechanism (made of pure unobtainium) get damaged as well. Looking forward to seeing your travels and auction browsing videos this year, as well. Thanks and please keep them coming!

the Snap-on puller set cost way more than you paid for the lot.

Wow! You did very well even though it wasn't what you were hoping for. At least you found the 4-jaw for the Atlas. Maybe he never had any other accessories for the machine? I can tell you those Snap-On puller sets are worth far more than what you gave for the lathe as they look brand new and complete. I have a lot of those pullers and slide hammers because I work on a variety of things from automotive, industrial machinery, farm equipment, machine tools, etc., so that's probably why he had so many different pullers. The 3-in-1 sets are for ball joints, bushings, u-joints, or whatever else you can think of. Saw some pitman arm pullers, steering wheel pullers, tie rod tools, etc. You should make your money back and have plenty to cover getting the needed accessories for the Atlas with no problem, given the right buyers show up. That is a very nice cabinet and is worth a little cash by itself, although it is perfect for the Atlas to live on. I bought an Atlas just like that one a few years ago at auction for 50 bucks, but it came with a crate full of every accessory under the sun, which was worth more than the lathe. I'll have to look and see if there are any doubles in the crate that I don't need. If there is, maybe I can send you something for yours.

While you didn’t find what you wanted in the cabinet, you scored on the pullers. A reasonable sale price ought to line your pockets and help purchase the tooling you need and want. So I call it a win and this amazing video ought to boost your channel. Keep up posted on how the puller sales go…. I smell money….

Love your channel keep it up very rare information young generation needs you

Nice picking the lock, Enjoyed the video. Sorry not much in the lathe tools. And as always a thumb up from me. Hope your Jaw get to feeling better. Thanks again Mr. Pete.

Well,Mr. Pete ya done it again. You reminded me once again that I need to redouble my efforts to clear out my accumulation of stuff before I meet my well deserved end. I hate the thought of a bunch of people at an auction wandering around wondering what kind of mental case I might have been to have collected all this stuff and then let it all go to rack and ruin.

Wow. You've hit the jackpot. Glad you released the show early. Don't think I could have waited . Snap-on fetches a fortune in England. Most men are obsessed with pulling.😮😅😊

Thank you so much for this video. By the end when you are checking the red tool boxes I was literally in tears with laughing. The anticipation of what I already knew would be another puller was overwhelming. Great video and thanks again. Bonus on the 4 jaw though.

Everything in the cabinet was worth way more then you paid. Great day at the auction

The guy was a motor mechanic based on the brake lathe. They are all big money. That snap on kit is probably a few thousand. The big forcing screw looked like part of a brake drum puller which was used for tapered axles... The "mummy" H frame looks like what OTC sold as a pusher / puller. Maybe for kingpins? The vise grip puller looks like Snap On slide hammer too... same with the small 3 jaw.

The lockpickinglawyer is a great channel. Ive changedthe way i look at security because of him. A lot of people criticize him for "showing people how to pick locks". The thing is, the people that you need to worry about, already know how to do that. He is showing you how to deal with them, and why.

so glad you were the one to get this!

It is still fun looking thru all of your "treasure". Thanks for the videos.

Nice haul Mr. Pete!... that Snap-On stuff alone should net you a nice ROI.

I don't think you'll have any trouble getting most or all of your money back on this one. What a collection of pullers. 😮

Besides of your disappointment, you made me laugh. 😆😆😆 Thanks for posting this video. Have a nice day Mr. Pete.

Your Snap-On CJ2004 puller set is listed on ebay for $1,200! You can no longer complain that you paid way too much for the lathe. 🙂

Thanks for the video. I always like rants(informative comments).

Man, you are all set now. Anything needs pulling and you are the go-to guy Mr Pete. You could corner the market 😂

At the 9th puller I was rolling on the floor.

You're fortunate that you have auctions like that in your area. Here, there's nothing like that. Been looking for a small lathe, but nothing anywhere within 3 hour driving.

Wow, that's a nice haul of pullers! That alone was worth the purchase price! I have a some of those harbor freight ones, even those work well.

That was genuinely fun! A Sunday morning cup of coffee and a fresh Mr. Pete video is a perfect combination. Keep'em coming!

Good for you, Mr.Pete! You bought the insides “sight unseen” and you came out on top!! Happy for you. RL Buffalo, NY

In dental practice we already use a slide pullers to remove dental crowns. A very useful tool indeed, but thanks for the tip mrpete :-)

Had too chuckle at the Geraldo Rivera vault of nothing reference

With the money made off the pullers. You should be able to go out and buy another Atlas lathe complete with all of the accessories!!! Great find you have IMO!

I love a mystery box but that made me chuckle even though it was a disappointment. Man, that guy must have had every conceivable puller there is :) Shame as I was really rooting for you finding some nice accessories that would make that lathe a great clean-up project you could just get stuck into. Gutted for you Mr Pete. Best of luck on the sale.

Back when l was rebuilding spindles for machine tools (box, cartridge and cartridgeless styles) l ordered a couple of sets of pullers that most people never see. The Snap-On (1) set for pulling dowel pins that are not drilled and tapped. That one consisted of collets with a collapsibg sleeve. The other was either Snap-On or OTC. That was the one for pulling bearings from blind holes. Sleeves with slits cut in them and a tapered ID. An expansion plug would expand them and they had a shoulder that would rest against the inner race. Also had the SKF bearing installation set that covered from 101 to 310 ball bearings. Later when l was rebuilding industrial centrifuges we had SKF 3 jaw hydraulic pullers. I wanted to make up adaptors to use the hydraulic pump and cylinder on other applications but there was never the time. Always too busy. 1) Coporate headquarters is about 3.5 miles away from my house.

Great video! I still remember watching that dopey Geraldo vault scam! I have the opposite dentist, great guy and very talkative. He even showed me his crown making cnc as it was making the one for me. Incredible machine!

I laid on my bed and thourghly enjoyed this…. Laughed n laughed…. You were my morning entertainment!!! Thanks Pete

Cool buy and a nice cleanup and fixing project.

You are the best! Only someone like you could go to the dentist for a tooth pulling, and then later in the day open a secret cabinet filled nearly completely with pullers of other kinds. Oh the ironies of life! ❤

Wow, thought I had a lot of pullers, nothing like that haul! Good find!

I'm after that 4 jaw! Thanks for another video Mr.Pete!

Hi Lisle, Those pullers etc are worth far more than that lathe is worth mate. I just bought a couple of the sets you have shown there and I paid more than I would give for that lathe. That contents of that cabinet is probably worth 10 times what the lathe is worth in my opinion. I have owned a Lathe for 40 odd years (12" X 3Ft.), so I know the value of a lathe to a machinist, further, I just bought a new lathe and a new milling machine and I am still using pullers (Obviously as I just bought some new ones) such as you have shown, I am 78 and still very active. You got a bargain there mate, don't knock your good luck. Hope you find a good home for the bits you don't want. Thanks for sharing your day with us. Cheers from Australia.

Thanks for sharing

Quite a variety and several duplicates. At about 22:51, right after the small bearing splitter, small unamed tool. Removes and installs the retainer on the drive end of Delco Remy starter motors. Handy gadget, even if only to replace the Bendix. Good pullers aren't cheap. Cheap pullers are worth less than nothing.

Those aren't u-joint pullers, they are for removing and installing ball joints on pickup trucks and and vans. I recently used one on my 97 ranger. A mechanic would love to have all that stuff. You could easily recoup some of your money.

One of the funniest Mr Pete videos I’ve seen, best one since the rant about living in a hi-rise condo in retirement. I hope you don’t have to pay too much to have all those pullers hauled off

Your correct fascination with pullers and separators...lol 😅

That's a nice puller cabinet you bought.

It looks like we will see PULLER BAY silent auction. What a great find. I would keep the big Snap On set for the tractor.

the puller legs in the two red boxes go with the hydraulic puller you found at the start, not familiar with the brand but looks similar to the sykes pickavant brand we have in the UK, the reason there's only one leg in the first box is because the puller swaps between two and three legs and it was set up for two with the other two legs that match this one, the different length legs swap for different operations. IMO the pullers are worth more than you paid for the lathe.

The man that owned that cabinet wasn't just pullin our leg. But he was pulling everything else. Mr Pete you could start a Puller museum with your new extensive collection.

That bloke who restores old stuff could fix the chuck (i expect) no need to throw it away. All the best from England .

Wow! After seeing the contents within, you did well on your buy. You probably won't have any issues reselling the contents.

Prime Content as usual Sir ! 👌🏼👊🏼 ( LPL is another awesome channel!) ..( also..as a side note .. when I was 10 back in ‘77 I had to go to our family dentist who was an older gentleman that used the the most torture like devices to work on teeth…with His accent and age ..something tells me he learned his craft at a concentration camp in his younger days !!🦷

PS. once you've offloaded that haul I bet you have what it said on the box, Pure (H)Money. Dying to know how it goes, you don't have to name any numbers, but please let us know if it was ka-ching or ka-chunk.

I'd say sell everything including the lathe. Save monies till next auction or buy lathe with parts included. Save time and extra money.

Great video lyle it doesn’t matter what topic your videos i ll be there with ya.

The man was obviously doing front end alignments. I think you hit the jackpot, that's a pretty big bundle spent on pullers and I can obviously say you'll never get stuck.

you certainly pulled a good deal with that cabinet🙂

wonderful.........been waiting for this one......have a wonderful July .......give my best to your wife too....Paul

My dentist had the same reaction to my dental dynamite suggestion. Seems like a steady & follow rest is all you need? Great presentation & suspense.

Well you have a fortune in pullers, but I don't know anyone who would need that many pullers. I have used some of these large 3 jaw pullers on 3 ph motor sheaves for cooling towers but I did not enjoy it at all. I knew you would have no trouble picking that lock, by the way my old friend and foreman who was a WW-2 vet taught me to pick locks in fact we even cut some locks in half to see how to make master keys. We worked in a large hospital and the nurses would often loose their keys.

Great job Mr Pete. I was so excited when I saw your video come up. I’m not an expert on anything, but I’d say you handled that lock like you were in Watergate. I think that you should come out ahead on the lathe one your able to move all of those pullers.

far more useful than some silly anvil collection ....you did really well

Looks like you pulled a rabbit out of the hat with those Snap-on tools, to fund your lathe AND accessories. 🙂

I think you're tryin' to pull my leg!🤗

The cabinet from the puller department in a tractor workshop. Don't worry 'bout the video, you _pulled something off_ with that video Mr. Pete😂

"it's probably all just junk" Nah, I'm just pulling your leg! Good score Mr. Pete.

Dentists actually have a little slide hammer for removing crowns! they also have a spring loaded type puller that if you squeeze the lever on the side of the handle that a small hook is attached to at one end it loads up a spring and when the lever is all the way depressed the mechanism is tripped and the force shocks the adhesive used to bond the restoration and it pops off :)

Hello mrpete, WOW, I am guessing you got at least $3,000.00 worth of pullers there, I was thinking you got a face plate, stationary and moving steady's, driving dogs and a 4 jaw chuck which you scored, I am disappointed too, tool holders, parting tool holder, thanks for sharing with all of us interested viewers, cheers from me. 😃👍👍👍👍👍

brillant video watching from clifden connemara west coast of ireland

I buy every puller I see at yard sales and auctions-you can't have too many, and having the right one for a job is priceless.

I have most of those pullers being a retired mechanic , you should make well and above what you spent at the auction . a very good buy for sure.

Wow what a surprise haul!

That gentleman must have been a heavy truck mechanic at some time. I've never, ever seen a collection of pullers like that in my life!
