I picked my cone wrenches up at a big auto/outdoor supply chain store in Canada, I forget the name. They're made my Lifu, who makes most of the Spin Doctor/Nashbar/house-labeled tools. I've heard people say they're too flexy, but I've overhauled alot of hubs without a problem. I swear by my 8-9-10 socket Y wrench I got at the flea market. For non-bike specific tools, I recommend going to the flea market or a big pawn shop and look for older tools still in usable shape.
