The Christmas Tool Thread - what did you get this year?

[Lippyp]

Non Secret Santa obviously!

I got:

3/4" drive breaker bar for those stubborn hub nuts etc, when you need one you need one and I had to borrow one from a neighbour this year.

6" DA Air sander
Pocket hole jig
Clear visor/face shield - much better when using a grinder etc when you wear glasses
Air regulator/filter
air blow gun

Not yet got a decent compressor but I'm building up my stash of air tools for when I do.

I also got a proper cowboy style enamel coffee pot to use on my woodstove in the garage for making authentic stewed coffee!

I also got a great garage (nid of!) related T Shirt that has that great quote from Kimi Raikonnen this year over the pit radio, it says "Leave me alone I know what I'm doing"

So what did Santa bring you?

Nothing yet so far

But I will have to see what I get after Christmas. I am leaning toward getting more clamps and very tempted to get into M18 fuel even though I don't need to.

None yet but I did get a 150.00 gift card to lowes and I already got my eye on a miter saw I want!

Had a garage fire and I'm paying for some upgrades ontop of what insurance paid to replace. Almost done!

Also got one of these to go in it, now that I'll have 220v (one of the upgrades):

[crewchief888]

actually nothing.

but she knows better than to try to buy me tools, i'm kinda a tool "snob" when it comes down to it.

she did give me the green light to get a milwaukee fuel 4 1/2" grinder.

i'm still trying to decide if i really need one or not.....
