I'll jump in.

Good:
20 ton press
Transmission Jack
Soldering gun
Ratchet extensions
Heat shrink tube
Bearing separator plate
Bug zapper
Bungee cords

Useable, but not great:
Sand blaster (I think it's a 50 lb)
Die grinder (uses a lot of air and doesn't grind much. Maybe it's not so useable after all.)

Bad:
Pitman arm separator (cracked on first use)
Exhaust tubing spreader (stripped threads on first use)
4" grinder (first one lasted 2 hours; replacement lasted 10 minutes)
Impact wrenches (what good is an impact if you have to use a breaker bar first?)
Band clamps (worm drive type)

That's all I can think of right now.
