There's a great article on Tom Lie-Nielsen in the recent issue of FWW's "Tools & Shops" that reassures me that not all tool manufacturers are going the direction of Black & Decker. And my wife and family are pretty good about sticking to my Lee Valley wishlist - hello edge-trimming block plane? Andy |

I've had a couple Christmas incidents where I told her the exact brand, model number, etc, and she ended up getting something different because she thought something else was cooler (even though she knows nothing about tools). |

I think it was "RayV" who stated:
Luckily SWMBO doesn't buy me tools or might end up with one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers...546168-4726360 The Petzl E47P Tikka Plus Headlamp is a really good item, as is the Dremel; I have both. To avoid problems such as that, I send my kids and SWMBO my "Gimme list" so that if they have a mind to gift me with tools, they'll get the right ones. I've gotten a Sawzall, a Hitachi router, a Dremel (like the one pictured), and some Porter-Cable tools over the years. I'm a happy camper . . . . -Don -- "What do *you* care what other people think?" --Arline Feynman |

Personally I make heavy use of the LeeValley WISHLISH function.

Yep. That's happened once or twice. This year, I gave my wife and my parents each a specific item that doesn't cost much and tell them that that is all I want. If they want to give me something else, it has to be wood or scrap metal. Or nothing- I'm okay with that, too. I'm just tired of trying to pretend that I wanted something that is just going to take up room until I think it's safe to get rid of it. |

I'm just tired of trying to pretend that I wanted something that is just going to take up room until I think it's safe to get rid of it. I know what you mean. My wife actually buys stuff I don't like so I can take it back and get something I want. So I am getting more gift cards, those little hunks of plastic you can buy things with. The best gift I get each year is To Lee, From Lee. With all the crap I have to put up with during the holiday season, I figure I owe myself something nice. Besides, it is an object lesson to anybody present on what is a good gift for me. |
