My wife gave me the same thing she has been giving me for years.... The shaft. We haven't exchanged gifts for quite a while now.

 

[SpeedCoach]

I was good this year! this is from the larger side of my family....not just the boss.

New set of truck ramps, a wireless thermometer for my smoker (about to get it's first use!), a set of C-man ratcheting combo wrenches (PRC made, unfortunately, but i'm grateful for the gift), made in USA channelock welpers, PC buffer, a new dremmel with some inserts, and a new oil catch pan.

[Jim_No_Garage]

I got Sandy related gifts this year. 3 x 5 gallon Gas Cans, Stabil Fuel Stabilizer and some other non-garage related items. I'm wavering on getting myself a HF 44" Rolling Chest to reorganize my stuff.

Cheers

Jim

 

[bobemmerich]

This is the closest thing to a tool i got this year...
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0087FFU9Q/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Also got a Bulldog remote start and a home brewing kit.
She also got me some Yuengling novelty items( A light string, magnet and Zippo) a new Keurig coffee maker, couple gift cards and a shirt.
I forgot about the various Mustang parts, too...

 

[Jagmandave]

A new pair of sheepskin slippers......I don't care if it sounds like I'm an old man, I am!

And they'll keep my feet warm while I'm watching the tube

I got her a Microsoft Surface, we'll use it as our travel computer so it's really a gift to both of us.

 

[bobemmerich]

all night rump in the hay with the wife...

You Win!

 

[RLRRLRLL]

I got a couple shirts, and some gym shorts. Xbox 360 games, and a $25 gift certificate to sears. I think the best thing, was getting to see my family. I live across the state from them now, and don't get to see them. God i sound old....

 

[fflintstone]

I got this

and these, all Taiwan but good tools for the $
from cripe.

and finally this for the new 430 build:

 

[p_mori7]

Leatherman multi-tool !

I got a cordless Dewalt circular saw, some new sawhorses, and some cigars....

 

[Olinrj]

I got a decent haul from harbor freight. Cutoff wheels, a magnet strip tool holder, a 6" magnet tray, an extendable magnetic pickup tool and a small led work light. Also got a trunk organizer for the car supplies and a knife/sheath from my father-in-law.

 

[Jawn]

Sis got me a garage/workshop fire extinguisher. She knows me well.

That's all the garage related stuff I got (non-SS). Some candy, clothing, etc.

 

[kunkernator]

I received an F80 ratchet, Neiko Master Allen bit Set, two pairs of classic Mechanix gloves, a magnetic work light, and a full Irwin bolt extractor set (amazingly, made in USA!).

I do have to say, those allen bits are actually pretty darn good quality considering they are Taiwanese, and I was surprised that the Irwin bolt-outs were USA made. As for the F80 ratchet, I may be liking my Gearwrench 120XP better right now.....Time will tell.

I also got an Amazon gift card, HF gift card, iTunes gift card, some money, etc... From relatives.

 

[e-tek]

My wife gave me the same thing she has been giving me for years.... The shaft. We haven't exchanged gifts for quite a while now.

I gave my wife the SHAFT - then we exchanged presents!!! I got a body-massager and gave her an Ipod/Ipad Speaker Tower. Tools of a different sort.

 

[Notch1988]

My wife spoils me! Got the usual gift cards... Timmies, KMS tools and Home Depot. Got some garage signs and then I opened the big stuff. She got me some Pepsi signs, one is from the 70's and very cool. Then she showed me a pic of my "main" gift. It's at my cousins place... apparently they broke my dolly offloading it. Took three guys... I had no idea they were so heavy. Gotta wire up my hoist so I can unload it and enjoy a cold beverage!

 

[fozzy]

I made out like a bandit. Gave my beautiful wife a list of tools that I desired, and they all showed up. Tools, booze, and a duck call. FHLF80, screwdriver set in extreme green, electrical screwdrivers, Craftsman Industrial with fill-ins (here is the ONLY nod ever to not clearing out your internet browser history, thank you GJ!), some Snap On, Klein, Channellock pliers, Griot's Garage fastener kit, scotch and vodka, and Duck Commander 1972 series. I'm set for the year! Still working on the night rump in the hay with the wife, but it is still very early. Merry Christmas GJ!

 

[mrpizza]

I would love to have a vending machine like that!

I got a set of craftsman pry bars, 32 piece gear wrench ratcheting wrenches, a delta 10" table saw (used) a craftsman circular saw (used) and a used router and router table. Now I have some good wood working tools! I got a motorcycle lift as well.

I also got a grain mill and a mash paddle for my home brewing operation.

 

[Fedwrench]

No tools (since everyone says I have too many) but, I got an ipad and got to visit my 93 year old father which made the trip to the southeast worth it.

 

[dellwas]

Grecom PSR500 digital scanner, heated socks, candy, and best of all quality time with the loved ones

 

[mossyboy6]

got a 9100v
Cant wait till I get out to the garage to melt some stuff!

 

[Pro-Painter]

My wife did me good this year, 4 martin USA body hammers, & Replacement aluminum drawer trim and ball bearing slides for my KR555 restro from snap on.


Here are the Martin USA hammers. For anyone that is interested, Summit racing has great prices on Martin body tools.

153s $25.95
158g $21.95
160g $23.95
168hc 25.95 (my new favorite)

Overall I'm very happy with the quality of them. The heads are very well finished. However, if I had it to do over, I would have got the fiberglass handles. The wooden handles are VERY ugly, but seem up to the task.

 

[ShadowRuleZ]

Bosch oscillating tool, porter cable 12V impact driver, craftsman pry bars, gearwrench flex ratcheting wrenches, uvex bionic shield, craftsman adjustable pliers, craftsman cable pliers. Should have taken a picture, oh well.

 

[melliott28]

21mm, 22mm, & 23mm Craftsman raised panel wrenches, a Craftsman 12oz Ball Peen hammer, and an Empire heavy duty 16 inch combination square.

Makita lxt cordless grinder, and a really nice anti fatigue mat for the garage. I've yet to see my family (Christmas was at my wife's family's house this year), so we'll see what I end up with.

 

[peterbilr98]

[Hammer1963]

ZIP. Not a thing unless you count the new long sleeve Carhartt t-shirt which will be worn as a dress/casual shirt until I make that first stupid stain or put a whole in it !
