The metal box is really cool, and I love the SK round head ratchets! I have an old 3/8 drive that was my go-to for many years because it is smooth and just feels right.
I'll have to dig it out of my box and try it again just for nostalgia! These days I usually reach for the Pittsburgh swivel head.
I was looking at that the other day when I bought the Icon wrenches, it sure appears to be good quality, I think one will be coming home they next time I go. I have a large frame Made in USA OTC that has proven to be strong as a brick out house but fitting the cups is a bit janky requiring 3 hands.
Recently working on a Mazda with a 23mm hex head fill plug I decided I "needed" 23mm sockets in 3/8" dr
I found Carlyles for about $3 ea at NAPA's site. I think this is clearance pricing (not surprising really) because the pricing ended in zeros, eg $3.00. I got shallows in 6pt and 12pt and the deep in 6pt

1/4" GW 120. I heard the backdrag is uber low, so I caved and clicked "Buy Now".
Looks like Carlyle colors
More random pawn scores. I threw this on the counter.....the guy looked at it and said $7

I know I like watching the show..
A friend recently removed the back from an old office chair and proudly posted it elsewhere as a repurposed rolling shop stool. He seemed a little hurt because several people poo-poo'd it saying it was going to dump him off, too tippy etc etc.
Personally I had no strong opinions on the matter, but today he unexpectedly gave me some Christmas gifts, so I wanted to get him something.
I got this Matco shop stool at pawn for $80. Presently $265 on Matco's site, but I have strong suspicions it's a Sunex for ~$120 retail. Either way, it's REALLY comfortable -- I almost don't want to give it up!

I burnt up the rest of a gift card on one of these. It will come in handy for a couple of projects. I got it with another battery, charger and tool bag. DEWALT 20V Max XR Oscillating Multi-Tool, Variable Speed, Tool Only (DCS356B).
Possibly the most versatile tool ever, next to duct tape and zip ties!
I have this one that I got as a gift but have never used it. What are some uses for it?
Well I mostly have @SubLGT to blame. The wife got me the KTC ATBX12 drum service kit for Christmas. I pretty much already have tools that will do anything these will, although I like the smaller, funky spoons.
I found it amusing it also comes with M8 jackscrews but I feel they should be cup point (the belt sander or lathe can fix that)
The pink-ish handles are nice and grippy. Yeah, they'll hold grease but they feel great in-hand
Unfortunately all the literature is in Japanese so I guess I'll never know what to do with all these tools. Bummer.

They'll slip in and cut nails for receptacle boxes.
I primarily use mine for plunge cutting blow-mold tool cases to modify them.
Also great for trimming bumper valances for things like winch bumper installs (like SSO on 2nd Gen Tundras):
