I have had occasion lately to stop at a Habitat Restore.  Besides a lot of things for the house, the tool bins have been divvying up some good stuff.   One day I spied 4 Barcalo combo end wrenches, from the same set, 1/2  inch and up.  Later in the week, found 4 Electrolite combo wrenches, 3/4 and down, from the same set.  Yesterday, came home with a tiny screwdriver  with a mandrel that can accomodate very tiny pushdrill bits.  And a nice Craftsmn thin nose pliers bent 45 degrees.  Also got a set of 4  of those early nesting combo wrenches,  the kind that are held together on a tapered pin with wing nut.  including  one severely cut down for some special purpose.  Prices have been under a dollar each,  just hate the fact there is more to be had but  would just be adding duplicates or triples to what is already in the shop.  Terrib le problem eh?

I wish our Habitat ReStore had that kind of range of choices.  I go there regularly, but find something worth bringing home about every six to twelve months.

I apologize for hijacking your post...but these showed up at our local Restore and I've never seen the little valve tool before.

I like that little brass Schrader. I've never seen one of those before. Nice finds.

Great finds. Our Habitat Restore is a great place to find good goodies. This may be a sign, I better go there today.
