Any tools you've purchased here that were worth it?

I've only gotten a Tap and Die kit and a solar panel kit. The tap/die kit served it purpose, but I haven't abused it yet. The solar kit works, but has yet to be installed and weathered yet.

They have any impact wrenches/nail guns that are worth buying?

I bought the $15 brad/staple gun. I'm happy with it. (Of course, I know there is only so much you can do with a 2 inch brad.

99 cent multimeters kick ass.

We got a hardwood floor nailer there that was only $110 on sale or something.

Comparable at lowe's was $400+. Thing went through an entire house and looked brand new and didn't have any weird noises/loose parts/anything that made me think it was cheap.

they have a bench grinder pedestal on sale for $35 usually $60. it's pretty stout. their screwdrivers (the ones with the lifetime warranty) are the most comfortable i've ever used.

compact right angle drill for around 23 with a 20% off coupon. did the job, not sure how long it'd last under heavy use

I got a bunch of crimp-on electrical connectors and heat-shrink from there that's been awesome. I think I have ~$20 in it all and it'll last me for years.
Other assorted hand tools like screwdrivers, pliers, etc. have held up fine, and I have an air compressor that I haven't really used enough to make much of a judgment on.
