My profession is a lot the same. By Nov and Dec the funds have run out for anything that is not an emergency item and all the hiring that should have been done in the last quarter of the year is done after the 1st of January. After the New Year the next years funds have been released and everyone gets rolling for a years worth of work, so now we can hire more people.
Get to know the driver of the Snap-On, Proto, MAC and so on trucks. Do not buy a load of Craftsman tools. You will make your living with these tools so they have to be good. You also might look on Ebay for Snap-on and so on tools. Usually a bit cheaper but you have to pay for them all at once.
Good luck and learn all you can!
Joe
