Never used anything like this before. Its safe to say I will no longer use a tape measure for rough measurements! Yes those are awesome, I only got the glm15 but I keep that with me everywhere I go for quick measurement 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 Got this cheap $10 screwdriver in the grab bag last night. Funny thing is that we're the ones who bought it. Wife's family does a grab bag where you can swap gifts with someone else, someone stole what I picked and I got the screwdriver. My wife does the wrapping so I usually never know what's what unless I ask, but as soon as I got "swapped" I knew what it was. Which is okay because this little thing isn't half-bad, I can actually see myself using it. It can go from angle driver to straight, and seems to have some decent power to it... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. Conductor stayed true to form and got me the 7 Piece Hammer & Dolly set from Eastwood I was eyeing. It's a big step for her to order tools for me without my verifying it's the right thing, but she did good. She also got me the Key to Metal Bumping, the definitive start up guide for decades. These are not Martin quality tools, but for what I do, I don't need Martin quality nor could a Martin price be justified. There is undoubtedly more to come ? When I was in high school I worked in a body shop and a lot of the guys had the Eastwood hammer and dolly's. They would always say " its how you use the tool not who makes it that works the metal". These guys were old school they still did lead work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regopit Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 My wife and kids don't even try to buy me tools. This morning I got a card with a picture of my gift because my wife though you could just call and order it she had no idea that it had to be made. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeldfabNeil Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 Here is the other stuff I got from works party. There nothing fancy but they were free. They raffled off some Proto ratcheting wrenches but I didn't win those. From my parents for Christmas I got a few clothes an mainly a gift card. It will be going towards some general supplies. Need a few metal cutting blades for my chop saw. Plan on a whole saw set as well. I gotta pick up some wood to make shelves as well. Might get some knipex pliers but who knows. My girlfriend got me a gift card along with a picture an frame. A few few other people I know got me HD gift cards. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Wife still went out and got me some wonderful things including a really cool Sony BT speaker for my future shop! My Mother in Law gave me a $100 GC to Woodcraft plus my Mom and Dad gave me a $50 GC to Lowes and I also received a $75 GC to HD. My wife got me a bunch of cool plans but also a Lie Nielsen Tongue and Groove Plane and the Fuji Semi Pro HVLP!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravity fed Travis. I like those ones better. I have wanted this for quite a while and naturally was going to purchase the Earlex and save a 100 but this is friggin awesome. Plus that Lie Nielsen is a piece of artwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other then that I haven't used any. I had them about a month an jus didn't get a picture. You can see there still new in the package. I have to take them out when Ime home an see how they are. I had to google them an see what they even cost. You can get them all off home depots website for 102 bucks. If they live up to what I've heard online there worth that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordraw Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 I spend a lot of money on tools, way more than I need to that is for sure. But I got not a single card that would buy tools, what the hell is going on? I did get 85 dollars worth of Starbucks though so all is not lost. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicolasRamos Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 as much as I want to open up new tools christmas morning I don't get any cause they all are to worried if I need it or not or if I have it or not....I told them anything over $1000 cuts down the chances I have it and most likely will cut down the chances I don't need it.....they just laugh.......lolSame on the tool gifts! Usually if I get a tool it's from my father, as he knows most of the tools I already own.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
