I shop HF a lot. Some of the top picks for me have been:
Daytona 3 ton jack, in 'sunburst sparkle orange'!
Bauer portable bandsaw, mounted it with the SWAGoffroad table, plate only, in a bench top cutout.
Welding helmet. It's worth paying more for the higher end Vulcans, the difference is night and day. I went for the go-faster flamed one, despite being 'old-school'.
Pittsburgh 225 piece mechanics tool kit, I got it for $99 IIRC, it's $150 at present.
2" semi trash pump and hoses. I set everything up with gator lock couplings.
