[QUOTE="rod, post: 1261224, member: 5382"] I have had real good luck with the stuff I bought at Harbor Freight and they have some excellent sales. Their stuff isn't contractors grade by any means but for some work shop tinkerer it works fine. Being the penny pinching old retired guy that I am I even go to our 2 local pawn shops about once a year and resupply my socket collection. For some reason I manage to lose 10mm sockets more than any other. I used to get them for 10 to 25 cents apiece but now they are up to 25 to 50 cents. If you dig around in the random socket bucket you can usually find some name brand ones---although last week I checked both pawn shops and there wasn't a 10mm to be found at ether one. Farm auctions are another great place to pick up tools cheap. I know if I had to do it all over again I would build the majority my tool collection going to farm auctions. Don't get carried away though. I had a good friend who when he died his family found 52 hammers in his shop. [/QUOTE]
