Hopefully nobody minds me getting into it a bit early... other half and I decided to have our gift exchange this evening, so I opened this one afterwards.

PA license plate, Cadillac emblem, Chevy bowtie, Chevy 350 emblem, Chevy crossed flags emblem, Carhartt hat, some SK 1/4 drive goodies, SK 18mm wrench, tiny (ph.0) and huge SK screwdrivers, Jackdaw adjustable wrench, and an AWESOME Jawn's Garage sign!!! You rock, Santa!

Hanukkah was 2 weeks ago so I'm posting pics of mine:




I did not see a username, so thanks to whoever sent the goodies!

 

[colt zantop]

Someone made me VERY happy! Check out this awesome Cornwell pliers set!

Thanks SO much SS!!

 

[taumac]

my SS received his yesterday but doesn't look like mine is showing up before .

 

[930dreamer]

These two packages arrived.

 

[logical]

I did receive mine (Monday I think?) and I read that the one I sent arrived.

Happy Holidays

 

[evanbaker08]

Thank you gipraw for my gearwrench ratchet wrenches, knipex pliers, craftsman bottle opener (that will get a lot of use in two months), and for my new borla hat.

 

[930dreamer]

[The Cobbler]

I'm having a few drinks, some munchies and will open my ss gift in the morning

 

[930dreamer]

I have to wait until the grandkids come over, coffee, Eggs Benedicts and French toast.

 

[Caleb T]

I received mine yesterday when I got home from work! My wife was so happy I got it that she called me on lunch to tell me it arrived! Here is a pic under the tree. I can barely wait to open it, but if I sneak and do it at midnight like the other years, my 3 year old would NOT be happy! I can't wait to see what's in store...

 

[Thumper68]

I had to open mine tonight as well, we will be gone from home most of tomorrow visiting family.

Hope everyone is having a safe holiday.

Many thanks to RustnGrease for the perfect box of goodies, including the lump of coal



Hand forged bottle opener.





And the afore mentioned lump of coal.

What a haul from the John...aka...The Cobbler

I know shopping is hard, but I got stuff I can actually use and need. The extension is great and something I have been wanting. The bits will be used Monday morning and the mini blow gun is fantastic for tight spots. I love it all and I thank you for the thought and time it took to compile this treasure box!

I didn't know you could ship brake cleaner.....I love the stuff!

Happy holidays to all!

 

[Mr. Roboto]

Merry Christmas everyone!!!! Opened my SS gift this morning, and my Santa (vortaku) did not disappoint! He got me 2 awesome metal Chevy signs for my garage, and a super nice set of felo screwdrivers. He also gave me the cash to buy the 2 missing from the set, which was very generous. These screwdrivers are awesome, the quality is spectacular and they feel great in the hand. A big hole in my tool collection has been filled!

Hope everyone has a blast opening their secret Santa presents today.

 

[teamarctic]

Opened mine this morning. Awesome is all i can say. That someone takes the time to hand write a note and send tools to a random stranger on a garage website. Just awesome.

I got a milwaulkee jobsite organizer, a 3-1 worklight, husky 2 piece pistol plier set, a coast led headlamp that is stupid bright. And my favorite of all, the hand written card. So awesome.

Thank you Harry aka "1dwn5up"

 

[Farmall450]

Thanks a ton to dlcwent, my Secret Santa!

I got a sweet Chevy sign (already hung), a book on the history of sbc v-8s, and a Makita knife! As importantly, I got one hell of a letter.

Thanks again!

 

[cnttxmdc]

Thank you Santa! I love it, and will take exceptional care of it!

 

[Beerman]

I opened the package from Track Welder this AM and found this AMAZING flashlight. What man can't use a great flashlight?????

Thanks Don!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas to everyone.

[colt zantop]

Wow! Some awesome stuff posted so far! I look forward to this every year!

 

[BigEarn86]

Merry Christmas everyone! First, I must say thanks to the fellow GJ members that vouched for me... I wouldn't have been able to participate without them (45 posts).

Second, A BIG thanks to Andy my SS, I got a sweet homesteading book and a multi-tool for my bicycles. I love both of them! Hope everyone has a great day and be safe out there.

 

[The Cobbler]

Thanks to my SS quick86. I love the saw, it will go overtop of the door in my garage . will get a lot of use from the pliers & Wiha screw drivers too ! Awsome

 

[Jbullfrog]

Thanks to Miles for the sauce and pliers. I was looking for a smaller pair to work on lift chairs.

Happy holidays to all!

I don't think you're supposed to ship it, but what they don't know won't bother them ?

glad you can enjoy the stuff

 

[1dwn5up]

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Teamartic, you're very welcome. Hope you enjoy them.

Just opened up my gift from Anthony aka "ohmthis", I really appreciat it especially with the things you're going through. It's a Kreg jig R3 for pocket holes, simply awesome. I know a lot about Kreg, they make good tools, will definitely come in handy while woodworking. It also had some shop rags that I think we're just for packing material but will use in the garage. and came with a hand written note as well.

 

[AnthonyJ124]

Huge thanks to Glenn (I'm not sure of your user name??)! We have already had a lot of laughs from the googly eyes, I think they look best on the pellet stove. The impact sockets will certainly see some use and I look forward to finding uses for the chamois ball. Thanks a bunch for some cool gifts!

Merry Christmas all!!!

 

[stonesfan68]

Thanks, Nick aka Mr. Roboto for the excellent selection of tools.

The Dewalt came in handy this morning for taking the kids' toys out of the packaging.

My Secret Santa, ChargedUp! got me an excellent framed print of the original patent for the micrometer. Very cool, I will find a great place to to hang this in my office at the shop.

Thanks and Merry Christmas to all.

Merry Christmas! Glad it all made it there in once piece, and on time

Enjoy!

 

[OxJaw]

My Secret Santa was very good to me this year! Hand made by his father, a bowl and handle for the claw hammer (these are super nice and will most definitely be used), NOS Channellocks, a Trusty Cook Buddy Blaster (this thing is awesome), a slide bar, and last but least a Bowman Brothers bottle of whiskey (we be cracked open later tonight)!

I'm blown away by the generosity and thoughtfulness of my Secret Santa this year! I really couldn't have asked for anything better!

Many thanks to Travisnd! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!

 

[woodrail]

I'd like to thank my SS JSharp for the great antique Starret dial indicator! I love the old wood case, It's going to look great up on a display shelf till needed.

Thanks, and have a Merry Christmas!

 

[Romanova]

My SS was apong23. He sent me a Husky tool bag which will be put to use in my patrol car. He also sent a New Britain ratchet which is my first NB tool and I love it, as well as a stubby ChannelLock screwdriver, a Proto snipper, and a pair of pliers with no brand but they were made in Germany and have some great detail work. Also included was a hat that my boy loved, some wire ties, and a new pair of safety goggles.
Great haul!

Big glob of dog hair was not included...

 

[Oggy]

Big thank you to my SS, Jerry, aka JJJRMX5 he sent me a ball peen hammer that he rehandled (actually needed one as mine is getting beat), a penlight, a vice grips set, which I realize that I am oddly lacking (don't know how that one happened), and some local barbeque sauce that makes me wish we were having ribs tonight instead of ham.

I had wanted to wait until my recipient received his gifts, but my children had other thoughts. It looks like he missed the FedEx guy for one package and the other shouldn't be there until the 30th...

Wow is all I can say. One of our bro's from down AZ way has definitely put a smile on this fellas face. Memories of my Father and the garage. Useful. Too Cool.

Thank You Steve
