Paramount swapmeet is between the 91 and 105 fwy, its on my way to LAX so I stopped in for a quick look this morning. $4 preferred parked, free in the boonies, $2 each to get in, and guessing this pays for the security that was all over the place.
Nothing special in tools, mostly long time sellers of used items, as well as plenty of vendors for new shoes, socks, and several places selling cheap work clothes, like 12 year old Dickies stuff. A good dozen spots selling mostly or a lot of tools, but none of the "good" stuff like snapon, more Stanley, no name Taiwan or Chinese, with a bit of Craftsmen. Only thing I bought was an old kinda worn Proto 5449 1/2" drive ratchet for $6, seems to work fine, but looks like its been used for 100 years.
Cypress college is next on my list for next weekend, but GoldenWest and Orange Coast colleges seem the best so far.
