Anyone know about old Vise's?

Unless you have something else, the Coleman Powermate is a good reliable genny that is still modern enough to be worth having. The black iron pipe vented monster, probably not so much

Looks like the pipe monster was probably the 220V supply for the workshop. All of that work/wiring COULD probably be converted to be a generator backup system for your house. 80% of the work is done, need to run a line back to main breaker box and add a transfer switch. It's even setup to monitor each power phase to make sure you current draw is balanced. In southern New England this is pretty handy to have during the winter.

Or keep the Coleman like stated above and use that for storm backup. Should be enough juice for furnace and a few lights.

Electric lawnmowers are great, love mine, keep that for sure.

Rest of the stuff? Maximize your profit and use craigslist. Or hold a yard sale. Most of it won't last very long. Then contact tool dealers to haul away what's left.

The Ego powered stuff are things I bought, lol.

If I could get any money for the generators, compressors, bench etc I'd put that towards a new generac system for the house.

All of the wiring you described is already done for the Kohler generator. I just honestly have no idea if/how any of if works.

You would probably want to have a licensed electrician check everything out. Not only to explain everything to you, but to verify the wiring is legal and safe. Looks homebrew.

Giving you a total for the whole lot if you wanted to dump everything in one shot....Craigslist I'd ask $1000-1200 for everything, they haul it away and have to take all, and work from there. All the motors could be seized and only good for parts, we don't know. Breaking the lot up will get you more $$ but take longer.

A dealer is going to give you much lower than that.

That punch set can be super handy. Drill set looks a lot like my dads set.

If anyone has an absolutely enormous vise, I am in the market for one.

I've welded ton of those old vise's back together ...
they hold up pretty good, but don't take abuse on the nose tok well ...
Takes about 2-3h and 1lb of cast iron rod to fix up if it ever split.
