I picked up a huge amount of combination wrenches and ratchets in the last year or two, all American made, for 50 cents each or less but it's time to complete the sets and get them into service.
Three thoughts that might help you since it helped me.
1. If you don't need them this week and doesn't sound like you do, check ESTATE AUCTIONS in your area. Kids are just making space and trying to get a buck. There's usually less competition for the same items than many other sales making them cheaper. Besides THAT'S where lots of the flea markets get their better stuff and OLD TOOLS. Old tools will Outlast us and everything short of Christ's second coming. The tools are usually better shape and cheaper.
2. Yard sales. Perfect time of year to shop as everyone is doing spring cleaning. I've gotten ancient tools that looked like museum quality that I felt guilty giving the asking price. Lastly but certainly Not least is the best.
3. Pray and ask God. I'm not going to assume anything since we are just neighbors getting to know each other. If you are one to pray, Jesus told us about the Father and how much kinder He is than me or any of us are...Matthew 7. https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Matthew-7-9/ He taught us to humble ourselves and ask Him.
I finally started to take Him seriously and started asking Him AND surprised to get answers.
I had a bunch of rachets, extra too, but was missing some sockets that had cracked and a set similar to what you are asking about with sizes that I didn't have surprisingly. Now I'm not saying this to sell you mine because I need these. I just want to encourage and for you to get what you're looking for.
I asked the Lord specifically as if He were in my shop with me one day for the socket set and mini driver that I needed once in a while for mowers, etc. Guess what Fireball? Next thing I know, I'm driving down the road and at the busy intersection near a sport arena. I see something that caught my attention. After pulling into the parking lot, I looked down and saw a bunch of sockets strewn all over the road and a box off in the lot. There were no trucks around or jobs or I would have asked if they lost their socket set and helped pick them up. I picked them up and put them in the insets of the kit. I was surprised to see that they were all there except for maybe one that I already had a duplicate of!!! If I remember correctly they are Stanley commercial set that you'd not find at Lowes. I don't know if they are US made, but so glad.... not so much for what they are, but for the One Who obviously gave them to me. Hope that helps you find what you are looking for Fireball.
