Default good place to buy hard to find tools?
what are some of the places in the bay area or online that you guys go to for tools?? i'm particuarly looking for a 1-5/16" crowfoot wrench. i've tried osh, ace, sears, home depot, and autozone with no luck. i've also tried online and had very little luck as well.

harbor freight has cheap tools alright... I dunno about anything special or hard-to-find though. Snap-on or Matco?

good luck
