That really doesn't have that much stuff in it that ain't stuff you want, from what you said here. There's some ratchets, some combo wrenches and some extensions...so what? Here's the real problem with that set...nowhere does it say "Made in USA". IME if it doesn't say it is, it ain't. IIRC, Craftsman went overseas. Walmart doesn't sell much in the way of tools, that are made here. It wasn't always that way. Fifteen years or so ago, they carried plenty of USA made tools and back then, Craftsman tools were made here.

At a Pawn Shop, your best buys will probably be sets, just like in retail shops. You WILL spend a lot of time going through stuff and mixing and matching if you're going to put together that type of set. What I'm saying is to not worry so much about duplication on a few tools as in the end, you'll use them or lose them and probably won't regret having them. I doubt they will cost you much, if any, more and you will certainly spend less time accumulating them.

Don't you carry at least a small array of tools in each vehicle? Walmart is VERY good for toolboxes. Get another toolbox for less than $20 and put them in it for one of your vehicles. Sooner or later you'll be very glad you did.
