Ideas for Christmas pressies

[tflnemesis]

Hi All,

It will soon be that time of year, so I thought I would start a thread about presents you might want to ask for or just tools/ kit that you think are worth having.

For the PC/ electronic dabblers looking for a cheapish stocking filler I would highly recommend these:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wera-Kraft...429370&sr=1-44&keywords=wera+screwdriver+sets

I have owned a set of these for the past 5 years and have used them professionally all that time, they have taken some serious abuse and I haven't managed to damage any heads or bend them in all that time. I am going to be getting another set soon as I have managed to lose a couple of them, just waiting for one of the kids to ask what I want .

Richard.

I don't do pressies for myself birthday or Xmas. I buy enough toys through the year.

Normally find something useful for the wife.

Early Christmas present or in my case, birthday, of Draper Expert imperial flexi-head ratchet spanners. 3/8" --> 3/4".



For those of us with outdated equipment / cars with difficult to get at fasteners......

I tell folk not to spend money on me, like @eLuSiVeMiTe. I buy what I want/need as and when.

And I'll get in first with "Bah, Humbug!!"
