Isn't ^^this^^ how all those letters to "gentlemen's" magazines start ?

 

[signcrafter]

Put a few tools you want into a shopping cart on amazon or tooltopia or wherever and ask her for the credit card.

 

[softailgarage]

Smart woman, she set a limit

 

[foreverfalcon40]

Smart woman, she set a limit

Agree!

Awesome!

 

[crazy5]

Depending on what you already have and what kind of work you do in the garage, I would probably be looking at a compressor or a welder...

 

[lugnut71]

I have a snap on compression tester for sale, newer style like new.

 

[sunsation288]

I would pick something you would not usually buy but could use frequently and enjoy using when working with it.

[rsanter]

Welder?
Table saw?

Or
Get a couple of tools you want and be under then limit and then add a new Teddy to the list too.....something you can both enjoy

Never know it may even encouragebher to buy you more tools

You lucky guy, treat her well, she is a keeper.

Wait just a second, maybe the flip side is that she is jealous and wants to make sure you are in the garage playing with your tools and not some other kind of fun.

Oh well only you know your situation. Good luck.

[sunsation288]

You know guy , maybe she already have one ?

 

[moto.aero]

Don't forget the Harbor Freight 20% off coupon, can be used at HF, but many people are having success using them at Lowe's and HD. Good luck.

Does your wife have a sister?

 

[thebeekeeper1]

It's hard to say without a pic of this wife, but I can't imagine anyone who can't come up with $700 of "needs" in under fifteen seconds. Tsk Tsk.

 

[MattPersman]

Cordless impact 1/2 IR w7150 you will still have 300 to spend on something else

 

[sunsation288]

Thanks Matt , but i have already a makita 1/2 powercord , and one mastercraft 1/2 air gun , many thanks for helping

Ok first we need to start off the day with the following "Cool Tools":

http://www.mcfeelys.com/product/KLT-9800/Klein-Beverage-Tool

Of course followed by:

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/beer

And last followed by these tools:

http://www.tgw.com/customer/golf-cl...ferralID=66f65386-1fd3-11e3-bae4-001b2166c2c0


Bottle opener, beer, and golf clubs...

 

[woody 73]

Oh before I forget some of the non-married GJ members asked me if your wife has a sister... lucky guy $700.00 dollars

 

[2oolhound]

I'd get something a level up from what I'd normally get for myself. For example I can't justify buying a dual 80 ratchet because at my age I won't recoupe the cost before, well you know. In this case I'd buy one and every time I used it I'd know why I have it instead of a cheaper stand in model.

What I'm sayin is don't go for volume HF deals, get the best there is, something that's up there with that wife of yours.

 

[cmorr]

Wouldn't rush to spend it all .

Get the items originally on your list, some small things she can wrap to make her feel like she is giving you a gift and just do gift cards for the balance. Spend it when you know what you want/need

 

[sunsation288]

Many thanks guy , you are wonderfull , i just add a needle scaler IR

 

[Filson]

Apparently you haven't been married for long... This is a diversion tactic... What'd she do?? Lol

 

[silentpoet]

A monster vise.

 

[JamieK]

Use the money to upgrade your garage. Better lighting, more outlets, epoxy floor, etc. Or put some of your money with it, and go for a lift!

 

[captain14]

Very nice tool cabinet and workbench set
Cord reels for air and electric power where you are working
Computer for shop area

 

[mailpup]

How about a nice video boroscope? Depending on what kind of work you do, it can come in handy to inspect small areas like cylinders, look for dropped nuts/bolts, find sources of small leaks when mirrors aren't enough and other uses.

+1 Buy my 8" Reed

 

[tmcowboy]

How are you for tool storage? I hate saying this but how about Harbor Freight, don't forget your coupons.

 

[lutter94]

Metal band saw!

 

[comedyman809]

700 will get you a nice ******!!!

 

[Outlawmws]

toolbox, welder, drill press, vise.

I'm liking this list as a start, but not necessarily in that order, and not knowing what you already have...

Workbench
Vise
Drill press (and a set of drills)
Tool box
4-1/2" angle grinder
Compressor
1/2" drive air impact
Deep Impact sockets
Hose reel with hose
Decent ramps
Floor jack
Jack stands (Not that ****** cast iron imported ****)
Creeper

And ditto on the negligee...

Why do guys always ask if a good wife has a sister? Chances are that even if she had a sister, the sister would have her own character her own priorities her own likes and dislikes and most probably, IMHO, it would be the total opposite. I think you guys understand what I am saying.

 

[Outlawmws]

Or the sister could be even better... Just sayin'...

 

[IngyHere]

I think you need a 77lb Peddinghaus-Ridgid Anvil, drop-forged and made from the finest C45 steel!

Sounds like someone married the wrong sister.....

It's a running guy joke, nothing more than that.
