There is also a full set of shellholders for my lee auto prime tool somewhere under the tree.

I sent wifey a link to the craftsman raised panel sets that were on one of the emails I got from sears. $9 for each set of 8 or 9. and, amazingly, theyre made in USA

Well, the starter fried itself in my Pontiac Bonneville this morning.
Merry fukkin' Christmas to me!

 

[Kenwc]

My g/f and I decided that instead of buying each other stuff, lets buy toys to give to kids in the cancer treatment center. This was best feeling i have had in a long time. The recipients and their families were grateful. I am still smiling over it.

Dude...simply put...."you did good"..."way good"

[rickcact]

Amazon, made by Lisle. Best tool you can get if you like to fill/burp your cooling system the old fashioned way instead of those fancy vacuum fillers.

C'mon, rickcact, fess up.

Was it Santa or really YOU that went overboard?

Thanks, I'm gonna check that out. I wonder if they make one for oil fillers. Seems like that would be an easy way to put the oil in.

Never thought of that. Maybe you could get a spare oil cap and cut the appropriate sized hole in the center of it and make your own adapter. Hey I think I just gave myself an idea!

 

[rickcact]

LOL.

This is the first year "Santa" and I have been married, so I think she was trying to make it the perfect gift. She nailed it. I never would have bought it for myself, but wanted one for years!!

 

[JC23]

Sounds like you got a Killer gift BEFORE the fein. She's a keeper!

 

[Indy_500]

I think somethings wrong with the compressor. It calls for 15 amp fuses as far as electricity goes and it kicked out that and it kicks out 20 amps. Now i have to take the sticker off

 

[z28snksknr]

It was a VERY good Christmas so far this year. In-laws are coming over this evening so there's more coming!!

And the Wife got me a Garage Journal T-shirt!! I was so friggin suprised at that one!!

Looks like they are starting to come to accept that garage stuff = a happy me

Got Black Ops for PS3, and a RC A-10 Warthog from my brother (we still like kids toys).

Oh, and the greatest gift I've ever recieved (although he came around Thanksgiving):

 

[bindernut]

My dad got me a set of the extreme green Snap On striking prybars. He tracked down a local dealer in his area after finding them on back order through snapon.com. The local dealer didn't have them, so he tracked them down to a dealer he knew in a different state. And the dealer also through in a pair of snap on socks for me. So if someone reads this that is a snap on dealer in/near Sykesville MD and this sounds familiar, THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORT! We WILL call again.
Dad also got me a No. 497 Lionel Coaling Station for my collection, an LED for my 6 D-cell mag lite, and some service manuals for my Farmall Cub.

Fiance's mom & dad gave me some clothes and a Sony Blue Ray/dvd player.

My uncle gave me the coolest present though. He sent me his old Marx Army train & Marx trestle set he had when he was a kid. I can't wait to run it. and if it doesn't run, well, that'll be ok. I've redone a bunch of Marx engines. I'll have a project for tonight w/ my dad.

 

[mrshaun]

Good Choice MrShaun, I got the .40 a couple years back and have shot the heck out of it!

-Dane

the bad part is since I have a fractured right forearm I cant shoot the damn thing. that would be a painful shot,.
