As of 3:14pm EST 12/24/2013 still no SS gift for me the mailman has been here and is gone now. Maybe after Christmas.

 

[Geurt]

Unfortunately no gift today. I trust my SS came trough and its just a hick-up at the post office. I wont be able to pick it up (when it has arrived) until the 6th of January. We'll see.

Happy holidays everybody and I'm looking forward to all the pictures of the cool stuff everybody got!

Ups dropped off about a hour ago direct from amazon and I don't have any orders from them so I'm sure it's my SS. Feel test has me thinking long handled 1/4 flex head...... hmmmmm.. tomarrow is so far away.

More like delivered! Mail man just came! Huge and heavy! I can't wait!


Merry Christmas!

I hope you like used road pavers!

 

[BFBOB]

Here's a picture of my SS gift under the actual tree! We celebrate on Christmas Eve, but the grand unveiling is after dinner. I can hardly wait!

All together, now (sung to the tune of "Blue Christmas":

It's going to be a Har-Harbor Freight Christmas
With lots of cheap tools from the East
And my hope and my fear
Through the upcoming year
They won't break 'til next Christmas at least.

Merry Christmas to all!

[CreteCoater]

OK All is well today. I see my recipient got his package safe and sound. I also received my package today. Pics of my box under my tree, lol. Thanks BellyUpFish!




Merry Christmas!

 

[BellyUpFish]

Sorry for the "Thank you for your order!" One of my customers got "DON'T OPEN UNTIL CHRISTMAS!" LOL

 

[Outlawmws]

Sorry for the "Thank you for your order!" One of my customers got "DON'T OPEN UNTIL CHRISTMAS!" LOL

[colt zantop]

My tracking number shows it was delivered a few days ago but my recipient hasn't posted he got it so I hope it didn't get snatched off his porch or something...

 

[SpeedCoach]

Bummer...nothing here yet. But most important is my recipient posted up several days ago. Merry Christmas to all of you. Look forward to the opening pics.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME!!!

Like I said in a previous post, this is my first time doing SS. All I can say is WOW!!! Markduncan93 was my SS and he nailed it. This is what it is all about to me. Individuals who take the extra time to make a "one of" item you will cherish forever as well as adding the other goodies I hinted about in SS helper thread. The Leatherman will be put to good use Mark.

Thank you VERY MUCH!! Merry Christmas and again thank you for all the great gifts!! I couldn't be happier. Oh yeah, the smell was like potpourri to me. I was a bodyman for 15 years and still actively do it on a regular. Though I do wear a respirator when I'm spraying a car the smells linger around and can be overwhelming to say the least.

 

[Boost Creep]

You haven't been following this thread the past couple of weeks?

 

[BFBOB]

WOW! Thank you, NEWIYWV!
A thoughtful assortment of tools, several of which I use ADED!
Tough to post pictures from here - dialup - so I'll do so in a couple of days.
This was fun; sign me up for next year!

 

[Krokodil]

We need to start seeing more pics!

 

[CreteCoater]

Jbullfrog was my SS. My box was filled with all kinds of useful things!

The first thing I pulled out were the cool stickers! I have places picked out for them already!

Also included were a battery / charging system tester, a Danaher GearWrench stubby 3/8 drive (my first GW and stubby ratchet), Irwin quick clamps which will definitely come in handy, and quite possibly my favorite......

.....a vintage SK 1/4" drive ratchet set!

Thanks so much for all the great gear! It will definitely be put to good use!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

^^ This!

Mrs Outlander is really watching me this year! I even tried the 'just let me open the GJ Secret Santa present before the kids arrive' to no avail! Glad to see Christmas has started for some of you.

 

[Farmall450]

Merry Christmas All!

First thing I opened: my secret santa gift!



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Brand new Kobalt 1/4 ratchet w/ light, 3/8 & 1/2 extensions, also lighted!
The rest, vintage german tools, and now we know the origins of the first every lobster claw - the double open ended one from west germany!

EDIT: Also a giant 7 in one wrench (right) and another (not quite sure what it's for) on the left!

Finally, and probably the best, Venison Jerky!
I haven't blasted a Bambi myself yet, so thanks a ton BenW455!

 

[jeffmoss26]

All the way from Australia...thank you catsteve!!

 

[FJ 432]

Well APONG 23 came through as my secret santa this year. Along with some stickers I received some cool items from his work in computer chips.

Unfortunately my wife took one look at a pair of specialized tweezers and called dibs!

My secret santa gift has not made it's way to Germany as of yet even though I mailed it on 12/11 so for those of you who didn't have something to open....Keep the faith.

Merry Christmas everyone.
