Just wanted to share a couple things I picked up on the cheap at the Saugus Swap meet here in Santa Clarita. Found these Mac hex keys first and the guy selling them told me he wanted 20 for them. After scrounging a little further I found this really nice Blue-Point Air sander. After talking to the seller for a few minutes I walked out of there with the hex keys and the sander for 30 bucks. Sander works perfect and hopefully ill be able to put those hex keys to good use. Just wanted to share my excitment. Hope you all have a great day!

I found a Matco balancer puller and an old style 2 jaw puller for $5ea. Along with about 15 other wrenches and sockets for $30. Alot of vintage american stuff including snap-on, mac, williams, armstrong and vlchek.

I love swaps!

You guys have no idea how jealous I am. We don't have jack down here for swap meets. It's all stupid flea markets selling Chinese ****.

Lots of good places to look if you think about it. Pawn shops, second hand store, junk shops. I have a craftsman professional 3/8 drill I paid about 20.00 for about 15 years ago still works great just needs a new switch now. Also picked up a 12 worm drive circular saw in VA at a flea market for 35.00 works great for cutting 6x6 post and cross ties.

Just have to keep your eyes open. I seem to have better luck at the older more run down flea markets that the new "wanna be a walmart ones"

How about a metric set of SK Pro wrenches - like new (not the mail order scratched up new, but the really nice quality new) for $30.

AND a new Kennedy tool box to put them in for $150

The drawers are movable and I can add some to the bottom in place of the bin door. Anybody got any extra of these type drawers they're looking to get rid of?
