quality tools cheap

good USA made tools can be found at yard and estate sales. pliers, ratchets, wrenchs, screwdrivers. i have found snap on, craftsman, channellock, and other great brands for pennies on the dollar. generally about 1-2 dollars a tool when i get a few of them. you wont find much metric sized stuff but SAE sizes are plentiful. i get the ratchets to keep my favorite sockets, bits, bb tools loaded and ready to go to save time. no need to swap bits etc. 4,5,6mm hex bit sockets get their own ratchet. i will have more posts about some of my favorite tools
