Local Mechanic Selling Tools

"Local mechanic John Culpepper has recently had to close his shop due to health issues and has made the decision to liquidate all of his tools and equipment before he & his wife relocate. Items are going fast, but he still has a lot to offer including (but not limited to) a huge 22 drawer tool box, Genesys scan tool, propane shop heater, craftsman metal cabinet, pressure washer, tons of tools, accessories, and so much more. 

All items are located in Amoret and well worth the drive out. Please give John a call at 6609253544 if you'd like to come see what he has to offer!"
