Gift Ideas

Postby Jamie » Fri Nov 11, 2016 11:28 am

I love companies that make cool things. The holiday seasons are coming up, and if you have people who might be tough to buy gifts for, here's an idea.

So at a boat show a million years ago, I bought a tool set from a small Connecticut Mfg.

This is the set after 30+ years.

They are actually still in existence and still making these cool sets. This is the replacement set I got.

They kits of different prices and basically for any fastener you can imagine. Customer service is very good if anything breaks or goes missing.

Metric hex set ordered! Man, I need to come in here more often.

Maybe not the neatest organization, but they are all within easy reach.

Here's a slightly less useful, but amusing tool. I've always wanted a device that measures in, "bunt hairs".

It's Canukistanian, what can I say? 'Murica Our president might be a dirty tool, but at least our tools are clean.

This sounds like fun.

Anyone used one?
