I'm looking to fill the gaps in my metric and (mostly) SAE wrench sets, both combo and ratcheting.

I know there was a deal going on a while ago in the HotDeals forum for Craftsman Industrial singles that I'm really wishing for right now. However it looks like I'll have to look elsewhere. Where do you guys look for single wrenches? Don't mind hitting up a few estate sales - but it's impossible to predict which ones they'll have.

Sears "Local Ad" at local.sears.com usually has good deals on single wrenches (raised panel combination). On that page choose Deals -> Tools, then filter for Wrenches.

i completed my craftsman and gearwrench sets through ebay.. depending how many you need, and how large a set you have/want, it gets expensive, and you just might be better off buying new sets.

yes, I was going to suggest seeing if Epstein's had the sizes you need, got a few of the Williams ones a while back to fill some gaps in a pieced together set.

Sears outlets has Craftsman USA raised panel sets at blow out prices, depending on what sizes you are looking for you may be better off buying the sets and selling off what you dont need.

I was going to suggest a WTB ad right here in the GJ classifieds. Or simply include your wish list in your signature.

Thanks for the answers guys. My SAE (rarely used) 'set' is very sparse, so that's probably a new set in the makings. My metric set needs less work.

I was unaware of the local.sears.com site - that looks like a great option. Although I hate eBay, I'll look that way as well.

What are opinions about Grey Pneumatic tools? I see them as single (sockets) on the discount tool sites frequently.
