and finally.......

Got it all for around $500.00...

Not bad considering the Williams wrenches are brand new!

The Sockets are all Snap-On's and are almost new and the hex key sets are brand new also. (1 might as well be new)

The Snap-On screwdrivers are almost new, and the Matco ones are in really good shape. The one set is a "Butterfly" drive set and was really cheap.

Got another couple of things coming yet (around $200.00 worth, I'll post pics as soon as they arrive)

All in all, I feel I did pretty good...what do you guys think?

Those Williams wrenches look really nice! I had a set of the orange handled pry bars ordered. I got the empty envelope they were supposed to be in today. :( emailed the seller to see if any thing we could do.

The Williams wrenches are the exact same as the Blue Point ones. I compared them to my non-flex Blue Points and even the lettering is the same.

Get 'em at a flea market or pawn shop? Every time I'm visiting some place; I always hit the pawn shops, used tool shop or flea markets looking for tools!

Got them off E-bay...


Went for the 50% of retail mark and just about got them all for that.


I only bid on stuff that is lightly used or new....I see no point in getting junk tools even if they are cheap.

My "Vacation" was spent dry-walling my basement....some vacation

The right term is "staycation". That's what the media's been calling the vacations that folks have had to take due to the price of gas this past summer. Anyway, very nice collection you got there.
