Went online yesterday and found their web site as we don't get a flyer. They usually have lots of great deals. The one I think that stands out for our hobby is A Third Hand with 3x Magnifying Glass Now I have eye sight that isn't what it used to be and am getting tired of burning my fingers when I solder wires. I bought one for $8.00 plus change. I think it will do what I want it too .Check it out

I picked up a set of rare-earth magnets there the other day. Great for magnetic hatches and battery accesses!

If those magnets were rare, then why pick them up?

Sorry Ben, couldn't resist....I must be bored

Well, if they are rare, they must be valuable!

Bought one of their moto tools a few years ago $19.99 comes with flex shaft still have it. works great. I dont know if they still sell them but they also had the 12volt gel cells ,mine is 3years old and still kicking. Not bad for $10.If you keep your eyes open they have good buys but as I say buyer be ware. Also have small file on at times both normal one and rifling files. Toml

Princess Auto also has a laser temp guage on sale. I aleady have one and it works greatf ro checking the temp on your two cylinder engines or in cowl ones for over heating.

Another good item on special purchase is the folding kneeling pad. Great for lying down to work underneath your giant scale model.

I am so lucky where I shop ( 20 minute drive) there is Princess Auto , Busy Bee tools and the LHS all within 100M of each other.

Based on this thread I went to my local Princess Auto and picked up that 3rd hand with magnifying glass for $4.76, tax included!!

Didn't have time to look around but I'm sure I'll go back for some more deals.
