I got a Wright 3430 and a Fenix E01 from gj67stang. I love the Wright 3/8 in a 1/4 body ratchet. That is a sweet little guy! The light is blue and appears hard anodized. It will come in handy in those tight spots. Thanks Garth!

I was quite surprised when i opened my secret santa gift this morning - Thank you very much for the great gift Peter aka Marauder470. Very nice Armstrong 3/8 ratchet which i'm sure is brand spanking new as it doesn't have a mark on it.

Merry Christmas to all from my family to yours.
Rocco

I got a snap-on bar stool like they sell at amazon and Costco. I actually needed a new stool in my garage so this makes a perfect gift. My apologies to whomever was my Santa, there was a note in the box but I am at my in-laws for Christmas and I cannot remember who sent me the gift. That does not mean that the gift is not appreciated.

Merry Christmas.

 

[Cliff McNeill]

I opened mine this morning. Made out very well! New Snap On rebuild kit, small hole gage set and screw extractor bits. Thanks Santa!!!

Got a really sweet impact driver, a tamper proof screwdriver set, a set of Wera micro screwdrivers, and a Wera bottle opener. I'll be putting the opener to use shortly, and the rest over the weekened.

Thanks lwlobo!

PS - bottle opener works great!

- 3 Chinese Pens
- Micronta Multitester #22-202 (Radio Shack brand, not sure what year its from (80's?) but its pretty cool for a vintage meter)
- 2 craftsman socket holders
- Multitool wrench (No name stamped on it - retro tool, not practical to use but interesting design none the less)

I love getting gifts.. makes me feel like im 10yrs old again

Thanks river1!!!!!!!! My new shop clock featuring the only beer I drink! Sweet!!!

 

[jakeb]

Not sure who my SS is...there was no note. I hope he chimes in. thanks!!!!!

I got a really nice heavy duty extension cord and some triple taps. It will come in handy with a angle grinder plugged into the other end when I am cutting and grinding all the rust out of my next project.

Glad you liked it. It was hard coming up with what to buy someone that sells snap on..... So I just went with making something. My BIL sells time/runs a water jet so we just went in one night from 10-1am and cut something out. Everything is Stainless so it won't rust.

I have never had those nuts but they were funny...so yeah. If you like spicy stuff the "slap your mama" will go good on anything. I use it on anything that just needs that little bit extra zip.

Merry Christmas

 

[caper150]

Well heres my Bounty, ear plugs a couple Whia torx drivers, couplers, a pair of sweet knifes, mechanical pen,a little wooden box that rattles but I have yet to figures out how to open it and I am not sure what the blue thing is either. I also got a box of latex gloves that are not in the pic but will come in handy when I am painting.

 

[mrshaun]

my boy snagged one of the key chains and had me add it to his snap on key ring. he has to havea set like i use for the truck.....
you are awesome jake.

 

[Kirbot]

I just opened up mine... Woohoo!

Thanks David/blown94conv



The gloves are really nice, there the first gloves I've had in a while that actually have long enough fingers!
The F80 was a huge surprise too!
I got one to give my brother for christmas, but I really fell in love with it, so I hated to give it away!

WAY more than I expected, thanks again!

 

[woody 73]

I would like to thank Gary from Denison,Texas for sending me that wonderful gift;two nice old ratchets,two wrenches and a bag of nuts.

 

[G1K]

Thanks to Darryl, Caper150. I received a vintage Gambles socket set and a few wright and craftsman wrenches. I don't have anything wright yet, I really dig the wrenches.

Thanks Caper150!

(reposting in the correct thread this time)

Got a nice personal note with an explanation of what "research" was done to try and get me the best tool. Shows he put a lot of thought into it.

I will use it for more welding supplies. You twisted my arm.

Many thanks Jabberwoki!

 

[wrenchr]

Not sure who my SS was but I received a book, America's love affair with the automobile!!! Thanks. and I'm waiting on the battery to charge for my new digital camera from my Wife to take a pic!!!

 

[Romanova]

c_mccann was my SS and he hooked it up with some mini side cutters, some short end Bondhaus allens, and a framed picture he took of the ocean. Some very cool items, especially the photo!

 

[JC23]

I got mine in two packages. One was this sweet Wright rachet but look closely, it's a 3/8 drive, not 1/4. I never knew anyone made those like that. And this Wright has a really good feel to it. It's one of those tools where you instantly say, "I can see right now this is gonna work nice." I'm looking forward to using it.

The other part came a week later. It's a book on the art of Johnny Ace and Kali Verra. They are two verrrrry KOOL Rat Fink artists and it's probably likely you've seen their work if you're into cars.

These gifts will surely get plenty of use. I've already been thru the book like 10 times getting ideas on what I can paint next. And there was a bonus with this book. As I am BIGTIME into Instro Surf music, it was awesome to see posters of many of my fave Surf bands. I've included a photo of the inside.

I never got a note saying who it was from. I'm not sure if that is the basic idea behind the SS deal or not but thanks, Secret Santa. You nailed it! Thanks again, SS and lemme know who you are!

 

[mrholeshot]

Thats a really nice ratchet, I bought one of them recently

 

[apong23]

Opened up my gift this morning.

See a really nice wooden Craftsman box containing a Blue Titanium coated 3/8 craftsman ratchet. So nice and shiny.

Also got a great Matco sticker.

Thank you Secret Santa.

Blue thing is a kreg jig, used for drilling pocket holes in wood. I have one of the kreg kits and they are really nice for building shelves and furniture and many other things. You need a special drill bit from kreg and the kreg screws.

 

[Homoudont]

I got a 1/4 SK Wayne Ratchet and a craftsman 1/4 ratchet, 9 SK sockets and what appears to be NOS of 3 craftsman Locking pliers. My SS was Kirbot and everything was much appreciated. The SK Wayne ratchet will help complete my SK wayne tool box set and the SK sockets will replace my Master Mechanic brand sockets in my tool box. The craftsman ratchet will be placed along side my other 1/4 ratchets and I'm not sure what to do with the locking pliers. Their way too nice to use so they may actually eventually get framed up in a special frame and hung on the wall.

BTW, just how many Barbies do you have now?
