Went to nearest large city (45mi)where theres a Sears (small), Menards & Home depot.
Stopped at Sears first.
Main reason for stopping: to get the gasket scraper set I bought back in december price matched to the club sale price. Anyway got that done I looked at the clearance shelf they had Klien style screwdrivers for 3$ was 6$, so I picked up 3 flats. Then they had the Christmas ornaments for 2.50 was 10$ picked up the screwdriver one. Then I was just about to leave I saw the bins on the counter that had hex bit sockets and nut driver 2$ each!
So I picked up two 1/4 nut drivers (one gets modified as a gun tool) and 4mm to 8mm and 5/32 to 1/4, 3/8 bit sockets for my Brother who is currently going to rebuild a Suzki dual sport.
Went to Menards;
Didnt have squat to speak of (other than building supplies); except for the Elkind hex key set free after rebate, also for my Brother. I already had shortys. You cant beat free.
Stopped at walmart;
They didnt even have squat. ( Had to return a item I got for Christmas,15$)
Stopped at Home depot;
I had seen these on sale dec 23rd they had Ridgid 24" cast iron pipe wrenches marked down from 65$ to 33$, they had one left so I got it and and only paid 18$ for it as I had the 15$ from the wally world return.
I also got 1qt of thread cutting oil for 3.40 was 6-somthing.
