>Yeah the wobble ones are fucking handy.
I never knew! Kicking myself for not getting them sooner. I'm far from a mechanic so that hat only goes on out of necessity. The Stanley set, with a few extra sockets and extensions, has carried me a long way. Routine maintenance and then a few things like swapping a starter in my mom's mid 00's CRV (then seeing how corroded the heater pipe was and repeating nearly all the same steps to replace that).

I'd probably get that vise if I didn't already have a similar Irwin. Picked that up when I put a free-float on my rifle. I did nab my mom one of those little boxes because I knew she'd think it was cute (and maybe she'll get some of her tools and tidbits organized and out of her kitchen's overflowing junk drawer). One of the magnetic mats too. Got there shortly after a delivery so they hadn't even unboxed them yet. I managed to get the last one less than a day later when it crossed my mind to early Xmas shop for my uncle.

Couldn't believe how fast those sell out until I slapped mine on the fender with my spark plug loadout just to see. Held everything firm. No garage and never got a portable table for whatever reason so there's usually a bunch of bending over or kneeling to the ground to switch sockets and extensions. Gonna be awesome having everything in arm's reach.

Now what I really want to see is a sale or ITC discount on their hose pliers. Oh, and the S wrenches! I can't even rationalize those beyond an affinity for weird or specific tools you never need until suddenly you do. The ones that make someone go "why is it bent" or "what's that even for?" Like basin wrenches remind me of those dinosaur-head grabber toys and most people probably haven't ever seen one.
