Im in same boat but usually only gotta spend $5 and i get alot

Not sure what ya ment there, If you look on the older kobalt sockets they have exact same font as snap on sockets along with a snap on date code stamped on them and have same look and feel except for the knurling and name and font is a little bigger. Ive looked everywhere for a ratchet.

Most are like that accept for this place but they are high on power and pneumatic tools. 300 or 400 for a orange snap on mg325 couldn't believe someone bought it.

That is good to hear i could tell by posts ive read. People there were terrible at times and couldnt even answer your question about a tool but If they did half the time i doubt they even had the tool in question.Anyways enough about them thanks for warm welcome

Also got a bunch of older Williams kobalt sockets as I love those things and buy everyone I find now if I could find the 3/8 ratchet to go with them lol.

Hey all what are some of your new recent pawn shop and flea market finds? I love hunting for good deals I got at least once or twice a week and scored many a deal. My most recent from pawn shop we're about 40 sockets a mix of craftsman, sk, and a snapon here an there, 1 pair of Mac channel lock ppliers, 1 pair of robo pliers craftsman, and 3 craftmans and a DBE Gedore all for $10 bucks also a free B&D electric weed eater for some reason I always get free stuff I guess because loose tools have no sticker and everything else are in computer and is easiest to just ring up something they can't sell to make room. Anyways love that place as you can get a small shoe box full for $5 a box. My most recent Flea market scores we're about 70 wright sockets for $1 each but got all for 50 as I always get a deal for buying bulk as got some Armstrong and SK sockets same price and some newer snap on sockets for $5 each well about $3.50ish as I got a deal this time on those. That place is crazy they want $5 for snap on or Mac and $2 for craftsman and $1 for industrial brands and rest of what they got like China or no name lol... They don't know much about tools because they bought the whole lot from the family of the original owner who passed. They got 10's of thousands of sockets and other tools accept ratchets as I'd say are the first thing that sold... But did find a 1/2 Beta tools ratchet with orange hard handle made in Italy for $2 couldn't believe I found that one it was thrown in with broken ratchets in a tool box and wasn't broke. Score lol Anyways love to hear what you all have found I'm having trouble posting pics from my phone it's a galaxy. Pics would be cool and instructions for me 2. Thanks all happy hunting!

AwesomeAwesome stickers I didn't even know for sure if I'd get some. I love them and thanks so much glad to be a new member here as I'm coming from garage journal and am tired of the rude or crappy comments but there was some good people there. Been reading a few threads and reviews and love it here already. A little about me name is Derek I'm married and got 6 kiddos running around and don't have friends to talk tools with and tools my hobby and biggest obsession for sure I live in Indiana and enjoy hunting tools in flea markets and pawn shops as well as Craigslist and will soon be a kc tools shopper as German and other euro tools are my new found loves. I'm wanting the were Christmas calendar badly lol. Idk if pics will work for me. Anyways look forward to getting to know my new friends here in tia.

I have been dying for one of those kobalts in 3/8 but cant find any i got the sockets that go with them let me know if youd ever want to trade or sell..nice collection

They look nice how much we're they I might pick up a set.

The barcalo Buffalo brand is Buffalo the cheaper brand barcalo and was a generic brand in the 70's that eventually got bought out, a lot don't like them but I do. And the diamalloy are Diamond Calk Horseshoe company and a very fine brand still around but make horse ferrier tools and now are made over seas but in their hey day provided the adjustable wrenches, slip joint pliers, tongue and groove pliers and lines man pliers which you have for snap on then made them under the name blue point for a long time, they got bought out by a couple company's and finally to be owned by Cooper tools who own crescent which then used their patents for just crescent and until 90's did still make pliers and adj. wrenches but made them over seas. I love the Diamalloy tools and they can be tough to find.
