A couple of tips from over here:
When I look at screwdrivers at yard sales, I look for wooden handles, though there are some good ones with plastic handles. (usually not clear or see thru plastic)
With estate sales, I can usually tell by taking a glance around the garage/workshop area if the previous owner believed in high quality tools. If so, look deep.
Also, solvent and compressed air can work wonders.
Gloves and eye protection, of course.
