I ordered the Tsunoda pliers, they weren't much that that piece but they're so nice at what they're designed to do, and as a bonus also great for removing small E-clips (actually use them more for than than for chain links now).
lol ordered

I wasn't going to click on this thread but then I decided to and it just cost me $28You know how it is, you are looking online and then find something you didn't know existed but you want immediately.
For me, most recently it was these reverse pliers:
Yeah I ordered a set, for $30 I can splurge.
Of What have you made similar unplanned purchases?
You need a slide hammer puller: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00002N7SD/?tag=atomicindus08-20
I posted them before, but:
Klein romex cable strippers. I never knew such a thing existed, and I went to school for Electricity (albeit a thousand years ago), lol. I have always just used a utility knife to strip the jacket. Somebody posted about these, and I figured I'd order them and give them a try. I have used them once already, and it's like a strange forbidden shortcut. It feels weird, lol.
I keep talking myself out of buying one, because I don't really need it, but I feel like if there's a zombie a apocalypse, this is the tool to have.I actually have bought one of these... in no small part because it's called FuBAR:

I bought one to take apart a pergola. It made it quick and easy. Just nice controlled motions taking everything apart. No swinging or noise. Fubar for the win.

A couple I've come across:
Gedore E-8730 - deburrer to fit a 1/4" bit handle
https://www.kctool.com/gedore-e-8730-deburrer-bit-1-4-hex/
Trusco TTX-92 - Long stubby hex key set with a 90 degree offset bend on the opposite end to offer an "in between" position for working with socket heads in tight quarters where a bit ratchet might not fit

Seems like it, same country of origin. Looked a little more and Home Depot has a 4 pack for close the McMaster-Carr price. Looks like the OEM is Shaviv/Vargus.
It already cost me $28I am never going to financially recover from reading this thread....

I've owned a set of GW ratcheting box wrenches for over 20 years, and - when I saw these - I was like "Dang, now that's a cool idea". Snapped them up, use them alot. Even on jobs that aren't tight areas. Using a socket with a GW just works!
Quick release, with knurl ring, compact size, takes a wrench you have and makes it a fine tooth close quarters ratchet.

Koken offers them as well, still spendy but a bit cheaper than snappy. Also depending on what sizes you need schley and lisle offer 17, 19, 21, and 22. I use the schleys for high pressure lines on diesels.These are stupid money, and have a pretty limited utility (hydraulic line fittings, maybe some sensors), but I definitely plan to buy one or two (sockets, not sets) soon.

Another GJ user pointed these out to me in the crowfoot thread. Lots more fun stuff over there.
Help me pick a Crowfoot Wrench Set
I'm in the market for a crowfoot wrench set. I can't decide between a standard open end set or a flare nut end set. Which would you buy? Which do you own/use? Why? Please refrain from just saying "buy both". I don't want both. I want one set that's going to work ~90% of the time. These will be...

I don't work on things professionally anymore and I consider myself very well-equipped for a home gamer, so my purchases are rarely things I "need" these days.
