Try this on E-bay its a top quality hone for most sizes it at $30 right now if you can pick it up for $125 or less you got a steal.

Pullers, bushing drivers, and sleeve pullers can be made in your own shop. I have made mine but they are not as pretty as the store bought ones. I made a de-glazing tool from a 1/2 inch rod cut through the middle and a small bolt holding the two halves together and have emery cloth shets in the saw cut. Works almost as good as a hone. also make the big wrenches over 2" size.I keep the shop made stuff in a separate box so it will not look like my cabinet is cluttered and also so that it will not be thrown away.

My son has quite a few items from Snap-on,but I just go to the local Car Quest if we're in need of something we don't have or that's come up missing.Prices are reasonable,quality is acceptable.

Renting from auto parts store (NAPA, AUTOZONE, etc.) works well if you are only going to use them once. As has been stated before, if you are going to buy them and use them more than once, buy good ones one time again, NAPA, Sears (Craftsman), etc. Stay away from the "cheap stuff". "Cheap stuff" is just about always more expensive in the end!

I would start at local repair shops that have been in business for a while. Many shops have these tools that are not used on modern vehicles, but are just what we need for our old tractors. Many shops now use the commercially remanufactured engines and just replace them.
Next is to watch auction ads for sales at businesses that are closing or reducing inventory.
Look for good quality brands. Better to buy a quality older tool than a new cheap made brand.
Attend some of the larger tractor and auto swap meets for a good selection... Gene

NAPA or the equivalent might be your best bet. It can be false economy trying to save money on tools of that sort. I doubt if anyone even makes "cheap" cam bearing tools and sleeve pullers.

It could be cheaper to borrow or rent quality tools.
