I'm with @MattF for the most part - I don't usually impulse buy so everything is well researched and planned before I purchase, so typically I know exactly what I'm getting and have a purpose in mind for it - even if its just a one off job.
However, I did once buy an air ratchet, mainly because it was going cheap, and subsequently was given another one.
I've used it one time for about 30 seconds and never again. Too noisy, too awkward. Hand ratchet is quieter, impact wrench is faster. Just a completely pointless purchase for my use, luckily it was cheap.
Now they sit collecting dust.

I'm with @MattF, and I've pointed "She who maketh lumpy custard" to the very post.
I told you, I'll need one for doing the thingamyjig, when I get round to it.
Funnily enough, I bought a Makita battery tube squeezer, for silicone, filler. glue, caulk and the like. My grip isn't as good as it used to be and you can't get the buggers to stop, no matter how many times you press the release!
Well, 'The Boss' wanted to build a dry wall, from block paving. It's her garden, I just make and fix things. That'll fall over, she wants it 6 blocks high, I convinced her to use a glue, ADISEAL GRY. Boy was she happy she didn't have to pump glue on to 240 odd blocks.
Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner. I was a good guy for the whole day! And the wall's still up, really solid too.

I've a fair amount of tools and duplicates, sometimes I forget I have the right tool.
I guess something I would not miss are 42" record bolt cutters which are more a wall ornament - does anyone use bolt cutters that size anymore?
I've a couple of pairs of smaller ones but they do come in handy sometimes.
I was going to get rid of a pillar drill, but find myself using both pretty often

I don't have any regrets about my plasma cutter, only gets occasional use but I'd never flog it.

Wait stop stop....
How much for it ?
I'm highjacking your thread in the sale section.
I already have die grinders but I'd love to have a good quality one at a fair price.
