Default Tools and Being Cheap...Err..Frugal

It's like anything else .......... know your goods, and look around. Yard
sales, pawn shops, estate sales, whatever. Lots of times you can pick up
good stuff for pennies on the dollar. Just don't get excited and tip your
hand to the seller. I have really quit buying stuff, as I have so many
tools. How many screwdrivers and drill bits does a guy need, anyway?

But, in the past six months, I got a DeWalt 16" compound saw, a Makita
rotohammer, a Milwaukee SawZall and a Porter Cable 1 to 2.5" nailer. Top
price, $40.
