One of the handiest things I've gotten in a long time is SAE and Metric sets of GearWrenches. Those combo wrenches with the box end that rachets. Those things are great.
Now they have reverseable one, flex joint ones, and others.

Coolant and battery testers are handy, haven't had much need for compression or vacum testers to buy (especially when I can borrow from a friend or parts store loan programs).

The new MIG has come in handy too.
