2 days ago I found some needle-nose pliers. Very small, spring-loaded, and a Mac Tool brand (lifetime warranty!) Today I'm working on replacing some single-pane window glass, and they'll be ideal for working with the glazier points. My luck don't usually run in the "good" range, so it's been a good week.
Taking my rear wheel to my LBS to get fixed - broke a spoke. So, gained a tool, spending some money - it's a wash.
I do find more stuff walking, but for every one thing I can salvage, there's 99 things I scrap/recycle. Peeps sure do jettison a lot of stuff, whether on purpose or not.
