Santa called to ask what tools I want for Christmas. He said they have
to be $100 or less. He already knows that I'm just a neophyte handyman.
I thought about telling him to bring me a Kreg pocket hole jig, a
Milwaukee Sawzall, a battery operated Dremel kit, or a number of other
things. What would you have told him?

Just give me a gift card, I want an air compressor, but I don't want a
$100 air compressor!

I like the use air compressors, myself. The new ones are *way* past my
budget!

My answer would be the Kreg Pocket Hole Jig...

You DON'T want the battery-operated Dremel. You could do better with a
battery operated toothbrush.

I'd have told him I am utterly *delighted* with my battery operated dremmel
that I got for the hubby for his birthday as it's just right for our small
project needs. I'd ask for a kit for small fine woodworking (hand carve
tools) suitable to make doll house furniture, and big hand lathe (adjustable
sides that can handle a 6x6 down to a 2x3).

Then again, I luv me cool tool toys!

Seriosly, most who arent happy with the small hand battery dremmel, are
trying to use it on projects that need a larger version. It's totaly the
perfect tool in it's nitch when used on a correct sized project. Not just
doll house stuff either. Honking big solid cherrywood table with delicate
filagree that cant take more than hand-sand or this? Worked a charm.

With a battery operated dremel, you can remove your own
fillings during a power cut. Get the free flashlight, and a
miror.

I'd ask for a good turning block of some exotic tropical hardwood that I
couldn't ordinarily afford to buy -- ebony, or rosewood, or a great big
amaranth slab.
