I got a $50 gift card for Sears. Thats it for tool related.

 

[walrus]

I got a mini fridge for the shop

 

[lwlobo]

The wishlist at Chadstoolbox has really helped Santa (Mrs. lwlobo) dial in on what I like.

I got a Wera 1/4" Zyklopt ratchet, 10" Knipex Cobras, Wera Multi-Bit driver, Zems by Sensgard ear protection for my shooting box (anyone used these?) Leatherman eS4 and Style CS tools.

And a Hopps field cleaning kit from my Father-in-Law, the one-time gunsmith. Free GJ tip of the day: Marrying a Gunsmith's daughter is a good idea!

Mrs. lwlobo was a good girl this year and got a Stihl BG 55 leaf blower for christmas. There was a little joke we had about her doing yardwork (which is mostly my job) for Netflix. Obviosly the blower wasn't really part of her gifts, but it was on special at the local dealer and giving it to her was a good way to break the news about buying it!

Merry Christmas to all.

Edit: Wow, those blackberry pics are blurry. Sorry, but I'm not spending any more time on GJ today!

I think somethings wrong with the compressor. It calls for 15 amp fuses as far as electricity goes and it kicked out that and it kicks out 20 amps. Now i have to take the sticker off

Your not using an extension cord are you, I had one like that and gave me similar problems. Just something to look at before you have to take it back.

 

[aussiek2000]

I'm going to be graduating in June with a degree in Automotive/Diesel repair. I don't have very many tools, so when my parent asked what I wanted, I told them tools. Dad, being a GM dealership tech for 25 years knew some tools I would need to at least start with. Being 19, I didn't expect to get anything for Christmas (I live on my own and have a job), but I was quite surprised this morning. The wrenches and ratchets were not gifts, I bought them on ebay.

 

[jeffk14]

I got this!

Gonna try to return it next week for some in-store credit.

 

[Jeff]

The transporter will be here in the morning. I can't believe the Mrs. actually got me a Thing. I've been looking for a decent one to restore, but she found one in excellent shape. Man I love my wife!

 

[jimexcursion]

A baby boy on 12/9.

 

[caper150]

I got this!

Gonna try to return it next week for some in-store credit.

I specifically picked one of these up in the store one day and showed it to my wife and said do not, I repeat DO NOT buy me one of these for christmas, she has a tendancy to buy me gimmicky tools, she did much better this year and took my parts list for my car and got me the parts I needed to finish off my rear suspension and some of the parts for the brake system.

 

[RbrtAWhyt]

Here are some of my gifts:

Craftsman 3 Pc Deadblow Hammer set

[jcabbbang]

Santa was good to me: Parts Washer, new level, new creeper seat, tap wrench set, and some aluminum tread plate pieces to jazz up my shop. Tomorrow afternoon is "assembly" of the stuff day. Ran out of Argon, (Santa didn't swap a full for an empty on Christmas Eve) so my welding projec had to come to a sudden standstill until I can get to the local airgas on Monday.

 

[ZRX61]

I got one of those Dyson Ball Cleaners for . Unfortunately I misunderstood what it was, which is why I'm now at the ER......

 

[ZRX61]

Whoa! Friend just showed up & gave me an antique vise!!

[briggsguy17]

Got a pile of Chamios shirts (I don't wear a coat in winter ), a Samsung 40" LCD w/120 Hz refresh rate (screen busted from shipping )
some gift cards and.........a dozen pairs of Snap On socks. By far the most comfortable socks ever!! These are to replace my other 15 pairs that are 3 years old. Merry Christmas everybody!

 

[E.Marquez]

My wonderful family helped me option out the Man Cave.. AKA the Shop.

The best present of the Year..

Lighted Shadow box my son made. Ford Blue light rope providing light, three pictures of my Mustang, and a custom cut vinyl die cut FORD oval in the center. Plexi sandwich to protect, glass front cover.

All made in School shop class, and my garage behind my back..LOL

A 24in DVD LCD TV for the shop... Yes... Moto Movies...while wrenching..

Mini shelf stereo for the shop...Music plus new DVD / TV sound system.

And to remind me when it's time to put down the wrenches, or turn off the Mil...

All of the above is Motorcycle related,,,, cuz, the Man Cave is where we work on the bikes....:-D

On top of the great socks, coffee, snacks, Fresh, un contaminated Honey, Ipod stero docking station for work... etc ..

 

[Cryptic1911]

Got a couple other things from my brother this evening.. got a set of those mini motorsports brake caliper w/ 4 rotors for drink coasters, and a full size stop light from a pole.. thing lights up and is mega bright! was pretty awesome. Been wanting one of those for a while

 

[blown94conv]

My wife rocks.

 

[airbatica]

Too old for Santa in this house, but I bought myself a Husky (VT6315) 30 Gallon Air compressor last week with my Christmas Bonus from work. Mom and Dad aren't in the greatest shape (health or finance wise), but the Mechanix work gloves and a little bit of cash are going to get put to good use. Granny is getting really forgetful in her old age, but she knows I like Sears, so she got me a gift card. Hope to find some tools that I need that are still USA made. Sis bought me a creeper that converts into a stool. We'll see how well it works.... hopefully better than a dogbone wrench.

 

[FLFFPM]

Santa (overtime) was very good to my kids this year and their happiness was a gift in and of itself. And, I kinda figured neither of my ex wives would get me anything so I splurged on something different...so far it's pretty good and neat too.

My wonderful wife got me these:

the die casts were what my Snappy driver was giving out as Xmas gifts. He also gave her a hat (not in pic because it was on my head at the time!).

She also got me this:

the cart wasn't under the tree though...after everything else was opened and I was basking in the glow of my new hammers and all the other gifties, there was one present left. She passed it to me and told me to open it. Inside the box was a little gift tin, inside that, there was a little tiny stocking .Inside the stocking was a set of keys with a little transponder looking thing attached to it. I suspected they were to a storage locker so she then said that we were going for a little drive. So, she, our little fella and I headed out in our pajamas across town. Sure enough we turned into a storage facility and pulled up next to a bay. I opened it and there it was, still in the crate with a huge bow on it!!! turns out she had arranged this with the truck guy a couple months ago and she rented the storage bay for a couple weeks to make sure i wouldn't find out. So, long story short, my wife is fricken awesome!!!! I was saving for a green cart this winter but I think I can live with this one!

got a pile of detailing stuff and some other odds and ends as well. I think I did ok.

My mom, sister and sweetheart all rock! These are all items from my wish list for a new small roller/chest that I'm trying not to overfill.

From mom:

Toptul GBA0802 8-22mm offset box wrench set. Not pictured, only because it's late.

Wera Zyklop 1/2" ratchet. Now the nicest 1/2" ratchet I own.

Wera 25PH/Z bitholding driver with Rapidaptor bayonet, slotted and Philips bits and pouch.

From sister:

Blue Point HSPI6KT deadblow hammer set. Nice! Something I can use from the small roller and not consume the space of multiple hammers.

EZ-Red EZRSR38 ratchet. This is a nifty piece for which I have an immediate need.

Fiskars Cuts+More 5-in-1 Multi-Purpose Scissors.

From my sweetheart:

Snap-On SSDMR4BO.
