    40-pc socket set - $5

    I don't often need one of these when working wood, but I ran across it and it looks like a pretty good deal for <$5... Maybe a good filler purchase, too.

    UPDATE: Not a good deal after all. Shipping is $6.25, previously sold for $2 and $3.50, poor quality. My appologies!

    This thing appears to have been as low as $2 and change at one point, $3.50 more recently... more importantly it does not appear to be sold by Amazon, so it would not apply as a filler item and will incur some sort of shipping cost (which I did not bother to check out).
    Never met a bargain I didn't like.

      I've had and seen some Great Neck tools before - very much bottom tier, the kind of stuff in the 99 cent bin at the local hardware stores.

      If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

        Wow -- you're right. Shipping on this thing is $6.25! I think I'll remove the link from my original post -- seems like not a good deal after all!
