Hey guys,
Just wanted to post to share the wealth. I recently discovered a store called The Tool Shed. There are two locations, 578 W Boylston St Worcester, MA and there is also one in Watertown or Waltham.
The site for the Worcester one is http://www.used-tools.com/
I went there about a few weeks ago and the place is awesome. I guess the owner buys used tools from retired mechanics to anyone who wants to get rid of some tools. Everything is second hand, however, everything is either Craftsman, Snap-On or Mac so it is all under warranty. He has everything you could think of and more of stuff you couldnt think of. He has TONS and TONS of sockets and wrenches and misc crap. Craftsman reversable wratching wrenchs for $6. Huge 20-30mm sockets for $2-5. I got a Mac Tools 7/8th closed end wrench for $5, looked brand new. I am sure some people around here have been there but if you havent you should really check it out.
Edit: another thing that is really really useful to use NE sentra folks, they have easy outs for $.50 a piece.
Just thought I'd pass it along
