[colt zantop]

Ive gotten a lot of ca$h this year so far so of course I will get some new tools with it. I will post pics later this week when everything goes on sale!

cant wait to try this puppy out!!

I tried that in the store. The drive mechanism works great but the kicker would be how well the tips engage the screw.

Let us know how you like it.

 

[JASTECH]

Well I will have to wait, i'm not having Christmas until my 5yr son is back home safe and sound from Missouri visiting his mother via court order. I am stressed out from it, but this board helps me pass the time. He sleeps with me every night sence his mother abandoned us 2yrs ago.
Merry Christmas guys!
I do like reading all you guys post!

My wife gave me a $500 gift card from Harbor Freight. I am sure it will take a while, but I will certainly use it. Too bad I had already bought myself a boroscope type inspection camera a short while back. I know I could use some impact swivels and extensions. I have to now go thru the pass/fail HF thread carefully.

My daughter put this in a Justice (young girls clothing store) box just to pick on me. She said she thought it would be good for the garage.

 

[reddog289]

No tools yet, Unless you wanna count the 50% off rollaway I bought from Sears. I gave my 19 yr old step daughter a set of screwdrivers and a utility knife. She was not too happy with that, But when she moves out she will use them.

 

[Rich1028]

I bought myself my first welder,hobart 140 handler,and some welding gear.
our daughter got me a tool box for the car.
and the wife is picking up a bottom cabinet so i can put the welder on it.

Merry Christmas everyone!!

gotta be honest, during our guy gift exchange i was hoping that was in one of the gifts cuz i wanted it. Seemed like a useful tool around the house and in tight places. I'll be going out to get one with my gift cards.

 

[bobcatdan]

I have told my girlfriend that unless I would give her the exact make and model and where to get it, do not buy anything tool related. I already buy too many gimicky or stuff I already have, I don't need anymore for Christmas. It took sometime, but I finally gotten everyone to give me cash or gift cards. If I need something, I go get it which makes it hard for me to come up with things for my "wish list". Or sure I have a wish list, but doubt I'm going to get a Millermatic 211, a Dake press or transmax brench under the tree.

 

[chumley360]

I got a 15" adjustable wrench, a 13" slip-joint pliers, and a 16" slip-joint from Craftsman. I also got some gift cards that will go to help offset the cost of the new mid-chests I need for the house.

[GirlnAgarage]

Some new 6" C-clamps and this

 

[Neuswede]

My Christmas began back in May when we decided to start the garage build, and then in July when she bought my Rotary Smart Lift, so I really didn't need to ask for anything else.

Wife surprised me with these this morning. Hadn't asked for anything specific, (unlike prior years where I give her a spreadsheet) but she knew I could use these to go with my other cordless Dewalt stuff... An extra pair of Dewalt 18V XRP's and a Dewalt 18V Impact Driver.

 

[Coach James]

I got a "Bionic Wrench" from a well meaning spouse. Also got a John Wayne DVD collection of his westerns that are not well known like "Randy Rides Alone" etc.

[WR250F]

Sorry for the **** pics, I'm seriously technology challenged

I got a few clothes and some other misc stuff, but here are the tools. I'm tickled as I can be. This is the haul from everyone in the extended family pitching in to get me something they thought I would like. I do a lot of freebie work for most of them and don't mind it at all. But, I have to say it is nice to get a collective thank you like this.

[knocker]

I didn't get anything tool related which is fine w/ me since last wednesday i placed a $1600 order w/ Cornwell on a bunch of stuff. Merry Christmas All......

 

[crewchief888]

well, i'm kinda surprised at my stepdaughter.

according to the wife she insisted that she buy me a new 16gal shopvac.
(the old one has seen much better days)
then she bought one of the little wall mounted units for the garage.

got the "normal stuff" long sleeve T's, thermal tops/ bottoms, new jeans, and a winter jacket.
mom gave me $50 cash, so i'll probably try to hit the junk stores and pawn shops tomorrow

i havent bought any new clothes or 6 or 7 years, most of my stuff is ragged, holey, and oil stained.

all in all, a good day !

merry christmas to all

 

[BowtieGuy]

I gots this,..

Is it gimmicky? Yes. Am I looking forward to trying it? Yes.
...& some $$$ for more tool goodness.

 

[Buck_nekid]

I got a Hanson 13 pc Bolt out set, a rail of Vim XZN sockets, a OTC rail of Ribe sockets, a OTC rail of Tamper Proof Torx plus (5 point), a rail of gear wrench standrd hex sockets, a rail of gear wrench metric hex sockets and Bondhus metric and standard ball driver L hex keys. These all came from Brazil from a friend on the internet, I should of known when she asked to see my Amazon wish list.

 

[Bikes&Bowties]

I got little stuff and this. Special edition camo. I got money that I'm going to buy a obd2 scanner and powerprobe3

 

[supra90turbo]

Not a tool, but still super cool. Can't wait to get those keys cut!

The black "blank" is an 8gb usb stick

 

[canuckian]

My wife and little guy ordered an orange Snap On MG325 and bucket creeper seat from my snappy guy but apparently they didn't show up on time so he gave her the red one he had on his truck so I would have something tool related to open. It's brand new so I doubt I'll hook up air to it and reduce it's value on him. Nice gun but not being able to use it is eating at me! I'll post pics of the gun and creeper when they finally arrive hopefully next week.

 

[Kev442]

Wow! I suddenly have some serious SK and Williams envy going on. I didn't ask for any tools and didn't get any, so my fault, I guess.
