Stopped by a pawn shop in Greenville yesterday and picked all of these up for $35. S-K, Proto, Blue Hawk, Craftsman, Gearwrench, Kobalt and Husky. Going to clean up those that need cleaning and relube the ratchets.

A bath in Evap-o-rust will do wonders for them too.Great score!
An ultrasonic cleaner with the appropriate solution will do an outstanding job of making those look as new as possible.
Some pawn shops are. Wife and I rode over to Greenville. I stopped at two more pawn shops. First one really didn't have anything regarding hand tools. Second one is literally a few blocks down from where I bought the tools from yesterday. Craftsman wrenches ranging in price from $2-$5. Ratchets $6-$8. Saw the prices and left.Nice pick! Pawn shops and flea markets are great places for tools.
Damn, couldn’t even find a 10mm socket in the pawn shop?
Sad to say but this shows just where our country is heading … the average person doesn’t care to own a decent set of tools anymore. They call “a guy” to fix whatever’s wrong rather than handl it their self. The male testosterone level takes another hit …
ETA … use to when you had to go to yard sales with your wife you always watched for Craftsman tools … if they were in rough shape or even broken back then you just took them back to a Sears for replacement … man I miss those days.
