llso Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 We used to go to Chinatown (Yaowarat) in Bangkok. There are whole sois there that sell nothing but tools, another soi that sells nothing but beauty supplies and so on. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raesum Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Quite often those 20 baht stalls have things like screwdrivers,alan keys,socket sets etc.You said you wanted cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanyaburi Mac Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 You don't say where you live, so some suggestions might have you chasing a long way across Bangkok, that's where you are, to save baht 20. I've found that Home Pro has a fair selection of cheap tools, expensive ones, too, if you have one in your area. Then out morning "wet" market out here at Klong 10 has some cheap box wrenches and sockets. There's probably such in your area. Take a look at Tesco-Lotus, not much, but do have a small selection of Chinese electric and battery tools. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundman Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Many regular markets usually have a vendor or two selling cheap tools that have been manufactured in Vietnam, dumped in Cambodia, bought up in bulk by enterprising Thai's, and guaranteed to electricute you the first time the switch rolls over. Try the Klorng Tom market near Chinatown. Largest selection of hand and power tools in Bkk. Something for everybodies budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lantern Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 There is good tools and there is cheap tools. But there is no such thing as good cheap tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
