Princess Auto Sale

On this week. Just got back, real good deals. Picked up a3rd multimeter with temp sensor included for $12.44, and 2 sets of spring loaded wire strippers/crimpers for $1.22 each.

I went to the new location on Dixie around Courtney Park, real big store, and clean.

They have some much stuff there, like jack stands, jacks, and anything to do with cars and automotive, to compressors and speaker wire.

Nope they dont carry projectors. Its not like a "Car Performance shop" sort of like a dollar store for hardcore car buff, and automotive enthusiasts who like to fix their own cars etc.

Lots of tools, and accessories.

All made overseas......cheap.

Go there when I want to get electrical tape and tools to give as a gift. (mechanics wouldn't dare have this stuff in there tool boxes), But for the average shmo, they are ok.

Cheap and Shmo fall into the description which is ME.

Although some stuff looked pretty crappy there, they did have a few brand names.

But then again, I willnot pay $25 for a pair of wire strippers/crimpers with the Channel Lock name on them, when I get get the same similar thing for $8.

Some of the stuff really isn't that bad! I buy some stuff. My company replaces broken tools with brand name (Snap-on, Gray etc...)
So we break our cheap tools on purpose! You get the hint!
