Yes, I did get a pack of Craftsman screwdrivers. They are something I always misplace. |

Santa dumped off a ton of coal, so I purchased a battery conductance tester, Midtronics PBT300. Found a nice used JD Gator with a snow plow this morning on craigslist. Hope it's still there when I have time to pick it up 2 days after Christmas. Hope it's not another scam too. |

I got a new 1/2 inch drill. Somone was standing next to me when I was complaining about the old one. Although I should just go buy a better chuck for the old one.

Hand held belt sander, set of air chucks/ inflator/needles, etc, double set of low pressure - high volume spray painters, portable jump-start battery... Came out pretty good.
Most of the stuff I got the wife passed inspection - except the blue jeans she wanted I got the right size - she lost weight, am scrabbling to find the receipt. |

Peavey. Wife's been looking for one since I dropped a 14 foot 24" diameter log on my big toe and crushed it. |

No tools for me cause I don't need any, but I gave the son an air hose reel for his shop. Got him a commercial grade one so it 'should'last awhile. Jim |

My son is manager at a Lowes, so he likes finding me what he thinks I need. I got a new type of ratchet that works in tight quarters because it will work by twisting the grip as well as by pulling. Then I got a pair of two of those new type pliers that are supposed to grip a lot better than regular. I also got a 20V DeWalt cordless drill and 1/4 impact driver, in one case. I'll see if that impact driver is worth anything. I would be interested to hear where one of those has helped anybody out in a situation. |

Wife went out yesterday and gathered up 20 or 25 assorted tools I left laying here there and yonder and put them in a box with my name on it. Hey, I actually like it as now I can put them up easier. I love that woman. |
