Default A good place to buy tools?

Anyone know of a good place? I'm building up my garage.. I've bought the basics but I want to go pick up a few more things. Other than Sears, Home Depot and Lowes.. where are some good place to go in the Richardson, Plano, Garland area?

Yep harbor freight isnt that bad. I mean, a cheap angle grinder there is only gonna last a year probly. But hey, its cheap! I just grabbed an appliance dolly there the other day for $49 on sale from $89.
Their impact socket supplies look to be high quality too.

Yard sales (if you can find damaged Craftsman tools, you can take them back into Sears for new replacements).... e-BAY?... Northern Hydraulics (Beltline and I-30 -similar to Harbor Freight).

If you have the money and want quality tools you need to find a Mac or snap-on tool vendor. Craftsmen is the next best. Only buy things from harbor and other discount places that dont require precision or strength.

Yeah I'm sticking with Craftsman for the most part. Snap-On is a little too rich for my blood though.
