Howdy,

Anyone have any hand tool recommendations for tool buying on a budget? 
I'm outfitting a 2nd toolbox for the race car trailer.  The budget doesn't 
allow 'real' tools like snap-on, mac, matco, etc.  I'd even rather not 
stretch it to Craftsman.

What I'm looking for specifically is a set of screwdrivers with machined 
tips that would include #1, #2, and #3 phillips, plus the usual range of 
flat heads.

I'm also looking for a set of six point 1/4" drive regular and deep 
sockets in metric and sae.  I found ok versions for this one at HF though.

Any favorites in the bargain bin set out there?

Mark
