SWMBO is a flea market addict, so I have a fair notion of what is out
there. Andf since lately old rusty tools have been fashionbkle as
decorator items the supply has dried up a bit. It is allways fun to
argue with the sellers that once you replace the cracked handles, clean
off the rust and sharpen them they'll be usefull.

Best catch was a set of bits for my brace (1/8" to 1", yep, not metric,
imperial).  Still in the original box, in good shape. And a score of
small auger bits for a brace, in less pristine shape.

The direct use of force is a poor solution to any problem. It is generally
employed only by small children and large nations.
