    Good stuff goat, you can have some real luck at the markets from time to time. I was jumping for joy this morning when I got my hands on four Berg and three Titan chisels in brilliant condition for $50.

    Cheers,

    Evan
    It's better to be thought of as a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt!

    I guess this makes you the gloating Goat!

    Anyway they sound like good scores. It reminds me of last weekend when I needed a 24mm ring spanner but everything these days in bunnys comes in sets which I was loath to pay out for given I already have most other sizes. Grovelling around in the bargain bin I found a set with 9 of the 14 spanner set missing but (unusually for me) it still had the 24 mm (and a 26 mm which I do not have) and after a bit of haggling I managed to get them for $5.
