Are these thread taps?? If so, am I seeing $20-$30 on these?

I'd be on the lookout for an ass-kicking elecric impact. Wish there were one of these around the corner from me.

you don't get the hoes (sic) unless you have the 400+ sockets.

I hate these kind of stores, as I always walk into them, see the prices, and mutter in my head "not on my got-damned life". I end up coming back when I get stuck on a project with the credit cards out, though.

I am just glad I don't live close to that place. Almost everything is used and in various condition. It's like a swap meet or flea market environment there, they will take offers on everything so you never pay the marked price. I pretty much replaced every power tool I had that was too beat up for safe and practical use with newer better stuff. I walked out with enough extra money to take the wife for dinner, she even found a few things she wanted to have...tho no power equipment lol. Now to deal with my antiquated crap.

Make sure to pick up some of that 1" drive stuff for making fine adjustments to your watch.
