So many lost or misplaced. Others damaged, broken or worn out. I really need to get new tools. I have so many things to do around the house.

I’m going to put that on my New Year Goals List.

    If you need any hand saws, I highly recommend visiting any local building materials recycling stores, or anywhere that takes a variety of household donations including tools. I have found a number of high quality general-purpose, rip, and back saws at the local Habitat for Humanity re-store that only needed a bit of clean up before they were ready for regular use. A lot of these saws get donated and people don’t value them much.

    Same may be true for screwdrivers but finding a particular manufacturer or match set may be challenging. I’ve assembled a good set of torx drivers over time without much effort, for example.

    Lots of other deals to be had in these places as well, including sandpaper, hardware, and PPE of all sorts.
