Matt,

For tools, try the usual, ebay, discount tool stores on line, pawn 
shops, and thrift
stores.  However, I find that most of the stuff I've looked at at the 
pawn shops
are well used, and to me over priced for their condition.

If you're looking for tool kits, the only good quality ones I can 
think of is the
Xlite stuff - but very expensive!!!!
