We all love tools so... What sorts of new tools have you bought recently?

Went out to dinner last night, and it just so happens that the restaurant I picked was right next to hazard fraught
convenient!
Exchanged my recalled 3 ton 'murder stands' for the updated 6 tons. I was confident my recalled stands were fine, as mine had much nicer 'teeth' than the ones that were collapsing.. but they're not tall enough to be useful for trucks so I took my opportunity to upgrade.
Vice and bench grinder because my 'shop' didn't have either, always used a buddys.
Metal chop saw so I could build the flatbed for my squarebody.. again.. without needing to bother my buddy for his.
Unpictured, but also bought some digital calipers and a USB rechargeable flashlight that supposedly puts out 1600 lumens.
Got 10% off the total because it was my first purchase with their store credit card, and got nearly 20$ in 'harbor freight bucks' or whatever they want to call it.
After nearly a decade of being somewhat reliant on my (awesome) buddys tools to do things other than basic maintenance.. I got tired of it. I'm mostly set up now, feels good.
