Speaking of tools, and Christmas...this is the time of year when Sears often has some pretty good sales. Besides what they show on their website, once in a great while, a local store will have an individual sale with some really good deals...worth going to take a look...

Two tools under the tree this year.

A leak-down tester and a brake rotor micrometer.

The other half's family were like, "what the heck are those for???"

My whole fam actually postpones "giftmas" two weeks so I can get twice the tools for the same price by hitting all the after x-mas sales! So I'm still waiting to see what's under the tree...

i got a craftsman cordless screwdriver with the a pivoting hande, so you can use it stright like a regular screwdriver or pivot the handle down to get a little more pressure on the screw. it has already come in very handy. not a lot of torque, but will make a lot of jobs quicker.
also, got a set of standard size quick wrenchs. i have been wanting a set, just didn't want to fork out the money.

mzimmers - a 5 gallon bucket wouldn't even come close. Think more like a tandem axle dump truck.

My wife got me the Craftsman router/table combo. Also, my mother, father and in-laws all gave me $400 combined + my neighbor gave me $100 for my ryobi bts15 table saw. So I went out the Sat. morning a week before Christmas and bought me one of those niffty pro-grade Craftsman table saws. Originaly priced at $549. on sale for $399. take 10% for showin' up before 10am, total price $360.

I also picked up a 19.2v circular saw for the Epiphany (hey what can I say, I'm hispanic. It's our way )

Can't wait 'till Father's day

I sold my spare Milwaukee 18V cordless set, so the cash from that was a little like Christmas. Treated myself to an Expedition as a gift, that's definately a tool for me. Otherwise, it was mostly a year of electronics, not really tools...except for this nifty 7-in-1 keychain knife/screwdriver bit that is the size/shape of a key.
