His and Hers Tools - Wedding Gift Ideas?

I mean, I use my pipe wrenches occasionally at home. Rare, but I do use them.

You are allowed to use them on things that aren’t pipes too. In a pinch, they will work on quite a few different things, albeit not what they are intended to be used on.

I doubt he will use one, so I wasn’t really thinking of getting him one, but the responses here act like a pipe wrench is completely useless in 2026, that that’s just not the case.

I use one to change ball’s on a trailer hitch all the time.

Drywall pan (welded corners if budget allows), and stiff 1” putty knife and flexible 3”, 6”, 10” putty knives. Opt for stainless

PVC is not used for supply. But still, the chances of a homeowner needing a pipe wrench are generally slim to none

Unless you're referring to PEX, the supply lines before that were PVC. Before that was copper.

As far as I know, PVC has never been used for potable water supply. Cpvc has and still is, though.

Homeowner here in a 20 year old house plumbed with cpvc. When you need a pipe wrench, you need a pipe wrench.

Nice that they are asking for tools.

When I got married, I had no say on what was on the wedding registry. During the present opening, I found one was a box of nice tools with a note:

” I saw there was no tools or other guy stuff in the wedding registry and I will be damed if I ever let that happen again”. Amusingly, from a person I did not know. I am still grateful for the thought.

I always buy “guy” things for weddings that are tied to me/my friends, vs my wife’s friends. I’ve given gift cards to Bass Pro, gave a gun to a close friend, my nephew gets married in a month and he’s getting a custom high end hunting knife. Screw the matching linens and towel set.

What did the fiancé say when you asked her?

She is 1/2 of the equation. Maybe she wants a hammer drill

If it’s not on their bridal registry, I just give them money

I've cleaned up this thread. Please be decent to each other or don't post.

I need to do another bulk ban off the most ignored list.... getting stupid again with the same usernames involved with drama every time.
