I've had my eye on a set of these bad boys for a while, couldn't turn down $59.99. Also grabbed an R134a gauge set while I was there, plus they had a "buy a hose set get 2 cans of freon free" deal
Gauges, removal sockets, and 2 cans of R134a for less than $120 after tax.
Lisle 15mm line socket. This was motivated by the desire for a socket for GM ECT sensors. I made one as seen here but I think the Lisle oughta work, too.

I had already ordered the Lisle then decided to make one, also. Note Lisle does not market theirs as being for this specific application, FWIW

Also the new Tekton O2 sensor socket. Apparently I have a thing for sockets with slots or cut-outs ATM, but this is completely unrelated to the GM ECT sensor stuff. Tekton happened to send out a new product email and I figured "why not".....might be nice to have on a Saturday at 11p when I figure out I need it
80V
That oughta have some power. Are you replacing a gas mower?

It has enough power. But….the design logic is…odd….
Starting Odd sequence - but becomes normal to user after 5-6 times.
Blade speed not controlled by lever -Turtle
Rabbit 
only driven speed NOT blade speed as blade speed is constantBag cannot hardly go 50% full
It cuts pretty strong for what it is
Wife likes it and that was the point - she is strong for a 65 year old 110# slender Asian woman, but doesn't do pull starts anymore. She uses also in her native plant area after I have wheed whacked to even it up.
Quiet and quick for touch up areas, especially nice grass in front, I like it for that.
$509 sale (now $599) Comes with a big 80V 4AH battery, we have a 5AH ($$$) and a bunch of 1.5-3AH) for wacker, BP blower and stick blower
Hazet Screwdriver set, Chads Tool Box, $38 delivered
I liked them so much I purchased a second set which I gave to my mechanic.

Koken 1/4” drive ratchet, 20 teeth, 160mm long, KokenUSA.com
I reach for these ratchets first. Particularly the 1/4” drives when low back drag is most helpful.

I was recently disappointed in my cargo control selection for anchoring vehicles to a trailer with anything other than chains and binders (my preferred method when possible).
Years ago I had axle straps (top right) but they've been lost to time or other projects, so I ordered some more.
Also a set of four "ring straps" and ratchet mechanisms with chain pigtail (only one shown).
I also needed a flex head ratchet wrench in 7/8" so I ordered the GW 90T version. It was REALLY rough the first few revolutions but then seemed to settle in.
And a CTA slide hammer axle puller attachment that might work for an upcoming job on a Rogue (carrier bearing on RH shaft)

OEM Oil filter wrench, needed a bigger one with a long handle. Build quality is impressive.
Lisle disconnect set, have AC work in the future.
8 inch and 16 inch SATA pry bars. Have the 29 inch already and it moves mountains, cant wait to use these smaller ones.
Astro 78318 Nano 3/8 ratchet. I have had the low profile socket set for awhile and love it, but only just now bought its intended ratchet.
Astro 94222 large snap ring pliers, might be rebuilding a transfer case.

Fireball's magnetic hex key racks. REALLY nice. Stupid strong magnet. Rotating base with ball detent for indexing.
I bought two sets, now the only problem is I need three more sets. I think I want one at both mills, both lathes and on my tool cart.
Set them in an unused space on my cart, we'll see. Yeah, the custom acetal hammer/marker holder is my contribution
They're easily strong enough that you could run them horizontally, but the practicality and ergonomics that way are challenging for my applications.
