All of the impact sockets, deep, regular, whatever. I have done some dumb ass shit with them like a 3/4 drive 36" breaker bar reduced to 1/2" drive to a HF socket I dont ever recall breaking one, just losing them once in a while.
Shop rule: If you need to borrow it more than once, you need your own.
Exceptions: Big crap, press, welder, bender, specific specialty tools, etc.
Got this on sale for 100 bucks. For the price its outstanding! I'm buying a 220 mig welder from them next.

x3 on the jack stands too....and bottle jacks.
x2 on their recip saw, think I paid $24 for mine and it works fine.
x2 on the big-ass adjustable wrenches and pipe wrenches. Cheap and they work.
Also...
Snap ring pliers set
and
Ball joint service kit
Price has gone up, think I got mine for $40....used it on ball joints, ujoints, and a bunch of other chit...
this too
Strut compressor
This one has a bunch of shitty reviews but has always done right by me without scaring the shit outta you like regular spring compressors. It's heavy and bulky to move around the vehicle though.
And countless other things I've bought from them that work fine.
We should also have a thread of things to DO suck from HF....because there are some.
