So, where do you find the best deals on quality mechanics tools?

Ebay has been doing pretty well by me and I've found some Ingersoll Rand (yay!) air tools for hundreds cheaper than their retail value.

 

Ebay is probly the best place to look

 

Yeah on ebay thousands of people competing to give you the best deals.

 

Pawn shops are where I've gotten most my tools... but then I only need mostly basic stuff...

 

i go to a place called harbor frieght for all my cheap air tool needs, like a angle grinder 18 dollars, hvlp gravity feed paint gun 30, cheap small drill press 50, impact 35. the only thing is they are kinda cheap tools but last if you don't abuse them.

if i need something like a torque wrench, snap-on is my choice even tho they are crazy expensive.

or all craftsman and snap-on hand tools

 

ya there is some place that has parts like that EF maybe the same place?

 

Harbor Freight is a good place for tools.

 

Most of my tools are Craftsman. I got a 270 piece tool kit (with a tool box) for like $200 (or was it $300?). They work great and they have a lifetime warranty. If i need a small tool, like an adapter or something i usually get that at the parts store since Craftsman prices are pretty high for that kinda stuff.

 

I have an odd collection of fleamarket and craftsman stuff..

 

I need to get a torque wrench but i don't wanna get one from harbor freight due to quality reasons. They are pretty expensive from Craftsman.
