    I thought it'd be something like that. We have similar stuff here but I had not seen one made of fibreglass.

    A wood lathe or anything without moveable parts.

    I bough some cheap sockets to take to the pick and pull so I don't have to worry about loosing my good sockets anymore. Also the nylon upholstery and panel removal tools are pretty nice for 6 bucks.

    I get some small stuff. I picked up a heat gun recently for $7 that works great for heat shrink. Beats a lighter. Also got a rivnut tool which works well enough for the price.

    There are some threads on other automotive/metal shaping sites where the take HF stuff and mod them. Things like bead rollers, english wheels, etc.

    Harbor freight is great for limited use/limited life tools that you need on the cheap and in a pinch. However, some of their stuff is actually not bad quality. I picked up an HVLP gun to use with my compressor for a speaker project a couple years ago and it worked great.

    I picked up some cable cutters from them. So far they've worked well and haven't broken on me.

    Picked up a security bit set yesterday for $5.99. Perfect for those star head screws in the Ram.
    Are you not entertained?!?!

    The pics don't really show how yellowed they were before but the difference was night and day. Definitely worth the ten buck.

    I also snagged a set of impact (made for air tool) 3/8 extenders and a supprisingly solid 3/8 ratchet for about $15.
