Message	A lightly used set of Matco metric gear wrenches and a near mint long handle Proto socket drive come to mind. Bought a new set of Stanley polished chrome gear wrenches for $30. (And new or nearly new nail guns for about half retail.) Also, if you want to expand a tool set, ebay might be an opportunity. Frinstance, I have a set of 12 point sockets with a nice drive, and added 6 points to it by buying a set of sockets only for dirt cheap, $10 IIRC You need to deal with reputable sellers, of course, and stick to quality brands IMHO. Chance favors the informed
