You can't go wrong with King Dick tool's. One of the best brands England has to offer.

I really lucked out recently. found a complete set of snap on whitworth combination spanners at an estate sale 3/16w to 9/16w (9) and 5 piece whitworth Blue Point open end set and a handfull of other assorted snap on sae stuff. I tried to keep my cool and got them for $100. Another $60 I got 2 three drawer snap on tool box sections. A once in a lifetime find and now I find myself wasting alot of time stopping at these sales to look at junk.

You know, I never stop because I always think there will be nothing of value. Guess I'll never find anything with that kind of attitude.
