hey guys what's up and welcome to my
channel today we are going to stop at
one of my local pawn shops and see if we
can find any tool deals and just talk
about some of the tools in general that
you can find at a pawn shop also we're
gonna hit up one of our local supply
companies and see what they have alright
guys the first thing that I found was
for $100 a 11 piece Cornwell lime-green
plier set this set probably would have
been a promo for a hundred bucks I might
have been able to haggle and say hey
guys I'll give you $90 cash for it they
probably would have jumped on that deal
but I honestly have a lot of pliers at
home so I'm gonna have to pass on this
but if I didn't have pliers this is a
pretty smokin deal so it's interesting
that you know you can find brand new
items at the pawn shop there is also
some very well used items that nobody in
their right mind would ever buy but this
here this was a decent set and it was
brand new so next up is some snap-on
items we got a metric impact swivel and
shallow set for 369 and then we have an
SAE set for 219 now these are really
hard for me to price because sometimes
these promos with the buy one get one
the pawnshop doesn't get very right that
looks like they were really close to
ebay pricing on these but I got I got to
pay tax on it so I couldn't really tell
if you guys want a comment boom down
below and tell me if this is a good deal
please do let me know here they had a
half inch dual 84 89 bucks that that
seemed like a deal some wobble
extensions from snap-on I already own a
set super similar in gear wrench so no
matter if that was a deal or not I
completely had to pass on that they had
some shallow half-inch sae sockets once
67 I know that craftsman rail goes for
like 25 or 20 I had to pass on that too
now these are always a little sketchy to
me when you see a bunch of brand new
tools from the same store these would
have come from advanced Auto just
hanging out well they do have something
from tractor supply there
but man it just kinda makes me feel a
little sketchy I wonder how those
appeared here we'll look at another rack
over here
more stuff brand-new and packaged really
good on my open-ended wrenches so I
don't need any of these nothing really
just caught my eye not that great of a
price pretty comparable to if you would
have picked it up brand new at the auto
parts store just I didn't get to use a
coupon on it some COBOL stuff lots of
loose sockets so you know if you guys
need to pick up an old craftsman USA or
something like that pawn shops the way
to go but again you got to look around
you got to know your pricing you gotta
check your deals because there's always
another one out there let's head on over
to too fast supply and check out some of
their brand new SK socket sets they have
this first set guys is a half inch SAE
and metric shallow and deep socket set
this is a forty seven piece set and
comes in anywhere from around three
hundred and fifty eight dollars on eBay
to upwards of four hundred and eighty to
five hundred dollars from your SK
authorized dealer now let's take a look
at some of these sockets up close you
can see that it has a shallow broach it
has great machining the chrome on this
is probably by far one of the best
chrome finishes that I've seen on a
socket the detents the stampings
they're all really nice the markings are
really nice and you can tell that this
is just a well-made socket now if you
look at the inside you can see that
there is a different coating or color in
there and that's to help kind of to
protect the chrome finish from when the
socket is applied on the fastener that
there's a little friction so that the
two don't slip and the chrome doesn't
just finish break the finish and start
rusting right away
these are just an amazing USA made
socket and I just can't tell you looking
at them on video
just doesn't do it justice compared to
the stuff that's made in Taiwan or China
or India you just can't even compare it
these are on par and if not better than
some of the snap-on offerings anything
else that you guys can think of this is
just a great socket set now if we look
at the ratchet this is probably the only
one downfall well it is easy to service
it's only a 60 to thrash it and in some
fashions today that might be considered
subpar but I can tell you that it's
definitely a quality tool and here's a
look at a little quarter-inch 21 piece
SAE set this ranges in price to 105 to
115 on amazon to ebay having some very
weird pricing at the moment have like
$200 your authorized dealer will sell
this for around a hundred and eighty
nine dollars or one hundred and seventy
five dollars the ratchet on this is very
similar to the half-inch where it does
suffer that lower a tooth count but
everything on it functions well it just
works right out of the box it's easy and
it's serviceable the sockets are very
similar in the sense that they have the
shallow broach they got great detents
great stampings easy markings it's just
a set that will always work and is on
par and in some sense is better than
snap-on made in USA just great quality
on these can't speak highly enough of
them the one thing that I do like and a
lot of other manufacturers are going to
this is that on the quarter inch drive
it allows you to put a ratchet on the
back so another good set
I do like SK offerings you just do have
to pay a premium for it the final two
things we're going to look at is a 30
piece metric half inch drive impact
socket set in shallow and deep this runs
in around the 250 dollar range and the
SAE set runs you in
mid to low 200s as well eske's got some
good offerings they're all made in the
USA
and they all have a lifetime warranty
you can either warranty that three or
retailer or you can send that mail
through direct to the factory and all of
their representatives and customer
service is local to the US so thanks for
