There's also a positive CT review of the Boeing & Pratt & Whitney surplus stores: https://www.google.com/url?q=http://kk.org/cooltools/archives/927&sa=U&ei=QyJLU_H2MITi2AXZkYDwCA&ved=0CAgQFjAB&client=internal-uds-cse&usg=AFQjCNGt4uG4LmH2733JIJ36wKXoMhpniA

You might want to check out the Habitat for Humanity ReStores. In addition to used furniture, I've seen hardware from over runs and over purchases by contractors.

Cool tools really work.

A cool tool can be any book, gadget, software, video, map, hardware, material, or website that is tried and true. All reviews on this site are written by readers who have actually used the tool and others like it. Items can be either old or new as long as they are wonderful. We post things we like and ignore the rest. Suggestions for tools much better than what is recommended here are always wanted.

Tell us what you love.
