I've gotten a couple of 5 gallon buckets of Snap-on sockets over the years for $5 at yard sales and flea markets. Snap-on is not the best but it's still pretty good for the work that I asked of it.

Lot of auction houses also over the years.

I also cruise through the tool section of Home Depot and Lowe's periodically when I'm buying Lumber or whatever. Picked up some amazingly good deals as they're trying to clearance out old stock.

Full 200 piece sets... all three sizes $25. Obviously the SKU is a discontinued item but who cares for 25 bucks I have a set of wrenches and sockets.


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
