end mills by the pound

[woodtickgreg]

I go to a whole sale tool store by my house from time to time and they have a large wooden crate filled with cutters for sale @ $4.00 a pound. There usually is nothing I want in the box, mostly large tools, but this day this is what I found. All told 4.5 pounds for $20.00. 6 flute 5/8 end mill, 3/8 double end mill, 3/8 single end mill, and 5/32 double end mills.

Nice score!! I'd offer up a "You Suck" but instead I'll just say 'You lucky devil!!'

Glad for you, there also was one on "my" street and they closed the place. Old school, scoop up, put in brown bag and weigh it. Now I have to deal with Michigan store oh well.

The owner of wholesale tool lives in michigan, I think he closed some of his stores as a sign of the times, everyone seems to have to down size. If you want to survive you do what you have to. So I think a lot of the merchandise has come to the Michigan store, I think odd stuff and unique skews are being sold off cheap. Maybe I should visit weekly to see if any more deals turn up, ya never know .........
