How can you expect anyone to contribute to this thread when you start it out with a 3/4-inch Cornwell ratchet for $10?

How does it feel to rip off a charity?

You probably will never even use it.

It won't even fit in your teeny weenie tool box.

I doubt you have nuts big enough for that wrench to turn. Oh, I forgot. You have a 3/4 to 1/2, a 1/2 to 3/8, and a 3/8 to 1/4 adapters so you can turn your puny *** sockets.

Just ship it to me, I'll send you a 1/4 ratchet and $25 to cover your expenses.

(If you haven't guessed, I'm jealous. Great find on a great tool.)

Since when is pic-n-pull is a charity? I say some one deserves anything they can get at a good price from those places.

Your local pick-n-pull sells tools? The dozen or so around me require you to bring your own tools to pick off the vehicles in the yard.

I did rent a cordless Makita impact gun for three bucks at one to get some suspension parts off of a Bronco a few years back.

They sell anything of value found in cars brought in....mostly spare tire jacks and road side kits....sometimes you get lucky as I did

Oh yeah, my paycheck would consist of fenders, doors and diffs to name a few. I'd be divorced and homeless in no time.

I get snap on sockets from the pawn for $.50 each. Usually so random it would take years to make a set.

I go to the pawn once a month and get like 2-3 at a time.

Found a blue point jack at the one near me for $20 it was in the back and the store manager said what will you offer? Said 20 and walked out with it! Great deals but its hit or miss.

Tool: Craftsman oscillating spindle sander plus lots of sanding drums
Where: Goodwill
Deal: $8.00

I bought it for the sanding drums for my grandaddy not expecting the sander to work. Plugged it in and it rotated but didn't move up and down. Took the bottom off and was full of sawdust. Emptied it and it works perfect.
