A Plano portable tool box. My dad left the price it was $9.98 for a 20" box at Menards. I would call it a bargan if any of you guys are looking for a small box.

 

[66HertzClone]

I did pretty well. I asked for this SK hammer,

and this Knipex set,

both of them were there for me under the tree, my wife added this and I'm pretty happy with it. It's gonna be real nice just to turn this on after a day's activities and have the floor cleaned up.

 

[jwitt]

My wife got me the 1000 lb motorcycle lift table from HF. I guess she was tired of hearing me moan and groan while getting up off of the floor

I got one of these last year (house model) and they are amazing! I use the regular vacuum about once a month while the robot cleans three times a week.

Let us know how well the dirt dog model works, I've never seen a good review of one in a garage setting.
