Most of the truck tool vendors make their money due to their ability to finance those $5,000 tool boxes. They all accept cash and most credit cards. The have the card reader connected to their cell phones to get the approvals. All of them will be happy to help you. For the really good 12 point or Allen sockets, you want Hazet. Hard to get someone to sell them though. Dennis

I always see these kinds of suggestions, and I see the trucks around town, but I don't know how that works, in that, is it normal, or acceptable to just go up to one of the trucks (when its not moving <g>) and ask to buy some parts? Courtesy, and consideration is a given, but I have never done it, and so am curious about how it all works. Do they expect to sell that way often? Credit Cards, cash, order parts, etc? Obviously, I have no idea how that all works, but it seems it might be a good resource....
