I have a walk-in store 20 minutes away and have spent alot of money there.
the prices aren't that great, but the selection makes it very convenient to load up on all sorts of crap.
mostly I shop at harborfreight.com now. I have one of those as a walk-in store about 20 minutes the other way.
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=96734same item for half the price. they also sell things like dremel bits and sanding stuff cheap, all sorts of cheap tools.
but you get pretty much what you pay for, cheap tools! don't go in expecting stuff to be very durable.
if you use the search function at the harborfreight websight, you can search "brass" and see a couple of items besides the compass sundial.
