Dee8go,
I've found that pawn shops are a great place to buy tools. Especially Craftsman (becauase you can return them to Sears if they're damaged). For the cost of a cheap Chineese tool set at Harbor Freight, you can get good quality US made tools that suite your needs. You don't end up with things you'll never use or ratchets that break on that one stuck bolt.

The Mighty Vac is a small hand held vacuum pump. It is a must-have for diagnosing vacuum problems and works really well for bleeding your brakes and clutch. There are wanna-be's for pretty cheap at harbor Freight but I like the quality of the Mighty-Vac and would recommend that one.

ps Garage sales can be a gold-mine for tools as well.
