I hate when family askes this ???????

What do you want for Christmas, make it $20 or around there??

I thought I would throw this one out at you guys and see what you can come up with.

So please give me some ideas for shop tools and gadgets that I could ask for................

 

how about a new flat ******* file, and a new flat smooth file? And a handle.

Hack saw blades.

edit: I notice the censored word. what the heck? It is the name of an actual TOOL. starts with a b and ends with a d.

 

We know what it is

Dead blow hammer

Brass drift punch

 

rolls of duct tape, jars of zip ties,wood chiesels as scrapers work great just not on aluminum duh!too many gagets and what does this thing really do, junk is clutter. just about all the little stuff you don't have or can't find when you need it. stuff that you use it and toss it!

 

I usually ask for gift certs for places like Home Cheapo etc

 

I check the local Sears ads every Wed. here...
I bought a 8"wX12"lX10"h canvas bag and a set of 21 screw drivers (Craftsman) for $20.00. Not a bad deal, considering I bought them over a year ago and still in great shape. The bag, full of odds and ends, is small enough to keep behind the seat as well. Some decent electrical testers. A set of tin snips. Jack stands. A hard hat with your favorite team or logo. And Last but not least, A good fitting FORD PERFORMANCE t-shirt, with a pocket of course! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

 

Why think small? How about everyone putting their coins together and getting a plasma cutter, a mig welder, a good set of jack stands, a good roll around tool box, 1/2 in. impact wrench, an air compressor and any other air tools you might think of. The best tool in my garage is a set of Ford service manuals and it wraps easy too.

 

Ford books and Ford service manuals on CD rom are available here at our online store and if you buy it here it helps support this site.

 

Thanx for all the replies.........

And too Blaine.......The only prob with the duct tape is that the wife would steal all of it for all the small jobs around the house................

Anyone else have this prob.........

Well keep the suggestions coming............

 

One of those plastic jugs full of all different sizes of bungie cords (Wal-Mart).

Leatherman knock off all-in-one tool for the glovebox.

Good quality flashlight and spare batteries.

 

An extra set of good but cheap combination wrenches to leave in the truck.

An LED headlamp flashlight. Great for working under the truck, roadside repairs, camping. I'll be giving away a bunch of these at Christmas.

 

The LED flashlight is a great one. You can never have enough flash lights.

But for 20 bucks will buy a nice pair of padlocks to keep the gift givers out of my garage.

Or when people ask me what I want for Christmas I just say, "how about the axe you broke, the 30 bucks you owe me, my tow strap back, my............................"

 

Walmart gift card get ya a haircut ,your oil changed,buy hunting clothes and oh yeah tools.
