Garage party gift

[sandslot]

Anyone have a really good idea for a gift for a garage party? It should be around $25.

Felo ratcheting screwdriver with bits?

 

[sandslot]

I suggested Felo but I get them from Amazon, recipient may or may not appreciate German quality though.

Case of beer

case of beer or bottle of bourbon

Tin signs, fatigue relief floor mats, gearwrench ratcheting screwdriver set, good set of used speakers, drop light, extension cord, hf tool cart, creeper, jackstands, mechanix gloves, latex gloves, drain pan/shop towels/hand cleaner...

Those are all options I'd bring, remember them for when I build my garage

These are some great ideas! I'll take them to sears. They'll also be good ideas for the new garage I'm building...it's going to be attached to the home I'm building...will have 12' walls and is 20'x39'....any ideas or thoughts on what to include in the construction would be appreciated...

220 outlets, one on each wall at least, plenty of 110 outlets, wall, ceiling, etc.

i was gonna say

hookers and blow

and bang his wife.

but thats probably over budget

A good synthetic chamois, like the Firemans Friend brand. Great product that everyone should own

 

[sr71]

a clay bar kit (Mothers) ......micro fibre polishing cloths.....fast orange hand cleaner with pumice....

 

[jchetty]

Simpson Kevlar sleeves or gloves...sleeves though are better. Prevent forearms from burning up.

Case of beer gets my vote.

- Wall Clock
- Fire Extinguisher -- the kind that have a cabinet you can recess in the wall are very nice.

A few construction suggestions...
- put the top of foundation +8" above the floor slab. This will allow you to wash down without rotting the bottom of the stud walls and gives you a concrete curb at the bottom of the wall that helps prevent things rolling into the drywall and damaging it.

- 1/2" plywood under the drywall gives you two advantages, one it allows you to hang anything anywhere without worrying about hitting a stud and gives the drywall a good deal of impact resistance against bumps.

- even if you don't plan on putting one in at first... rough-in for a hand sink/toilet and maybe even a mop sink.

depends on the nieghborhood

on a serious note, if its a fresh move in or build, flags are good too, something hes into to hang on the wall, or the good old red white and blue. helps to fill wall space in a large area.

 

[sandslot]

The plywood behind the drywall and a block height at the floor is a good one too...Ill do those and the 220 on each wall... Will shard when done...Thanks!

I'm not sure where he got it but a friend bought this sign for my garage. I think it would be home at many of the garages here.
