What would you buy at Sears for $ 100?

I have a total of (4) $ 25 Gift cards from Sears.

Am wondering about a purchase next week of some tools, but don't quite know what to get. I'm leaning toward using them toward an electric angle grinder, a set of sturdy jack stands or a work bench.

Any suggestions?

Finally went to the Sears store at Landmark Mall this morning and cashed in my gift cards. I really needed a 7mm flare nut wrench but Sears only carries 9mm and larger, so I picked up some small 12-point wrenches among other things.  The cards helped reduce my overall purchase total.

 

The retaining ring pliers are stronger than my other (2) cheap ones and have a tab for selecting external versus internal.

 

The 18" pipe wrench is much heavier than the el-cheapo one that I got from Walmart last year (and broke).

These long allen sockets should come in handy.  Bill Williams and others have hinted that they work great on those transmission shift support tower bolts.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
