Deep Impact Metric Socket Set
4 ton port-a-power
4 1/2" grinder
Composite ratchet, 1/4" & 3/8"
All good.
 
6" digital calipers, dial too
Free DMM's
44" US General cabinet
$99 engine that's was used to re-power my 30y.o. snowblower (Greyhound at the time)
 
Oscillating multi-tool - makes home renovation substantially easier.

Backpack pump sprayer - Works great and lets you DIY herbicides.
 
4.99$ boxes of 100 5mil Nitrile Gloves.

its not a tool, but you can't find the same thing cheaper really anywhere.
 
impact sockets , Hercules drill, the $ 20 Sawzall...like someone else said , I abused that tool and it still keeps going
7 mil nitrile gloves , just cant beat them for the price

Yeah but its only good for the day you can't show up there.

I like all the nice plastic boxes for assortments.
 
Earthquake 1/2 air impact outshines my $300 I.R. by about 500%. Their combination Pittsburgh lifetime wrenches are better than my Craftsmen and not quite as good as my Mac tools or Snap on combos. Just bought a 1/4" battery powered driver that is substantially better than my Bosch but won't know for a few years whether it will hold up as long as my 5 year old Bosch.

Getting harder and harder to find stuff built here. Are there any power or pneumatic tools still manufactured in the U.S.?
 
I also like their disposable gloves. Great bang for the buck when bought with a discount coupon.
 
Pittsburgh 18" breaker bar and Pittsburgh 1/4 and 3/8 Composite Ratchets are way better than my old Craftsman ratchets.

Clamp on swivel vise is small but works really well for what I do with it.

I can give them five stars but I"m sure someone that uses these types of tools hard and everyday probably wouldn't.

Cut up a Chevy Cruze? Seems a bit early for one to head to the scrap yard.......

I have nearly a dozen 4-1/2" angle grinders with various wire wheels, cutting wheel, grinder wheels, for $20 each.
Only one has had a bad switch, some are over 10 years old now.

2 HP 8 gallon air compressor, also over 10 years old and still work great.
Various hydraulic floor and bottle jacks.
MANY freebie volt meters, flashlights, scissors, 4-in-1 screwdrivers, etc.
Extension cords
Impact sockets
Step drill bits (unibits)
Sliding Radial Arm saw
Air brad nailing gun
Ratchet straps
Log chains
Bench Grinder
8" wooden handscrew clamps
Quite a few others
 
I have two of the Daytona three ton floor jacks. The yellow one and a low profile. Both are excellent. Impact sockets, excellent. I just bought my son a ball peen hammer and a dead blow hammer and they're every bit as nice as more expensive tools.
 
I needed a 1/2" low speed spade handle drill for mixing mortar. Got one from HF for $40 (with the coupon of course). Works fine and hasn't let the smoke out yet. A comparable Dewalt/Ridgid/Makita is 4x as much. Just for occasional DIY purposes but I'm ahead even if I have to replace it a few times

I like my Pittsburgh 3/8 drive socket wrench. I've already tested the lifetime warranty, and they swapped my well worn one with a new one no problem. I have their Quinn twelve point 3/8 drive sockets, which seem very well made. Their warrior sawzall blades last as long as name brand blades. Their hardy rubber coated work gloves worked pretty well when I was scrapping and doing brush/trash removal, considering the media I was handling. I'm sure I've got other tools of theirs I'm not thinking of at the moment. Overall, no complaints.

I saw those Quinn sockets last time I was there. They looked to be very well made. Made in Taiwan and not China or India.
 
Orange $2 work gloves. They don't have the gorilla fingers the white ones have and actually fit reasonably well . They hold up about as well and long as anything else
