d0n_Benit0 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but...anyone know if there are any cool used tool places in the Phoenix area? I will be visiting this weekend and I'm looking to supplement my hand tool collection. I'm from El Paso and it feels like my options for new OR used tools is extremely limited here. I'm not yet confident enough to purchase anything online since I'm so new at this and would like to hold something in my hand before I buy it... If anyone is from the El Paso area I'd be interested in that as well... Thanks in advance, - Benito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Sorry but I don't know of any specifically. What phoenix does have is literally hundreds of pawn shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0n_Benit0 Posted June 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Lol, if it only it were that easy! I'll see if I can hit up a couple of pawn shops while I'm here (today is about soccer only though!). I was thinking more of those mythical flea markets full of old tools in good condition people post about. Where or how does on find that? Lay an ear on the ground and listen for the trampling hand planes and vintage hand saws? I'm always travelling around and I'd like to start checking out the local woodworking presence of where I go. - Benito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you're kind of on the right track. In the Phoenix area pawn shops,you'll find a thousand guns up to 50 BMG, most likely a few sets of lightly used dentures and beat the hell up half stolen construction tools.
