Just got handed a $400 gift certificate for Craftsman tools.....just looking for some advice on what interesting and useful tools I should be looking at. Keep in mind I already have a pretty decent set up of all the standard stuff (sockets, drivers etc.).....I'm thinking I could use a tap and die set, maybe a better torque wrench (I just have the old fashioned "pointer" kind) and a more extnesive set of wrenches but thought there might be some other stuff I haven't thought of that could come in handy when wrenching on the dyna......
As always; any advice is appreciated.

Ya'll should know...I was a bit surprised when it came up. This occurred a few months back, during the summer.
I have a craftsman torque wrench I bought years ago. I needed it once and then left it in my toolbox set at whatever spec I needed at the time. I didn't know proper storage back then. I figured I could go and get sears to recalibrate it per their lifetime warranty or get them to replace it by explaining it no longer torqued to proper specs.
NOPE! No replacement and if I wanted it recalibrated it would have cost me $75 + shipping. I even got a manager involved and explained that nowhere in my paperwork did it state repair of this tool would not be covered under the well-known sears/craftsman warranty. He said the policy changed a few years back.
