Help me spend my Sears gift card

[gj67stang]

Without initiating the latest version of the usual Sears/Craftsman debate, I'd like some suggestions as to what to buy from the tool department of Sears with about $100 of gift cards. I have the Craftsman basics (sockets, ratchets, wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, toolbox, etc).

I've had my eye on the Mayhew 58" prybar, especially as it's on sale now and you get either the 36" bar or the 2-piece special bar set free. Or maybe something else.

Help me spend my "money"!

everything suggested thus far is a good choice, imo... could also go for some polished flare wrenches (US) if available.

Id get the premimum ratchets if they have them, i cant find them myself. The pro screwdrivers are nice too.

I recently did the same thing and got the raised panel 11 pc metric double box end set:

and added a 30*32 to complete it:

I have a set. If you are lucky, your store will still have a wrong price sticker for $35 (this was posted long ago). It will ring up $45, but you can tell them that the sticker says $35, etc. I bought 2 packs from that deal not long ago... best pliers ever!

I picked up a video scope with mine a few weeks ago. Had to pay a $70 out of pocket for a $$250 scope. Dont forget to add all the extra coupons to your order.

Don't spend it now. Just wait until a good deal or you really need something.

People get gift cards and if frees them from their normal frugality.

Granted, I would also recommend the Knipex pliers if you don't have any, just wait until they are on sale.

whenever i spend gift card money, i buy stuff that i normally wouldnt buy.
adding on extra sets, or more specialized tools for that "one time" job

and then get a premium ratchet.....

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to hold on to the gift cards until whatever I "need" is on sale. I will at least wait until my local Sears starts carrying the premium ratchets or maybe the new 1/4" flex ratchet.
