I finally made a purchase this weekend that I've been wanting to make for 9 years. You all are going to laugh at me, but that's okay. I finally bought my OWN set of tools! I know, what took me so long right? Well, here's the story. When we were engaged, and registering for gifts, I told hubby I wanted to register for a set of basic "home" tools. You know, screw drivers, wrench, picture hanging kit, etc. Hubby immediately said, no you won't need that I have so many tools you can just use mine. Well, I shoulda known better. Yep, he's always willing to let me use his tools. Always. However, they have to put back exactly where they BELONG, not where I found them. Also, and this is totally my fault, I have a tendency to start something, and use a tool, then get sidetracked by other stuff, like kids needing things. Then I don't get back to the project for an hour or two, or days, and the tools sit, and then of course hubby goes looking for it and.....you know the rest. So I have been asking for a tool set every year, and every year he said it was okay to use his. This year, he decided it would be good to have a set of my own. : ) So, here is what I bought.

small ratchet set |

pliers and several types of tweezers, which will be great for some of my craft projects |

The whole enchilada! Screw driver with interchangeable tips, level, scissors, knife, mini clamps, pliers, hammer, wire cutter, adjustable wrench, two allan wrench sets, tape measure, 3 set tools (not quite sure what they are for) |
No, its not Craftsmen, and my hubby thinks they are cheap, and junky, but for me, they are great! Now I just have to convince Hubby that I was serious when I said I wanted a Dremel for my birthday. For some reason he didn't totally believe me. : )

PS The tools are cheap, on clearance at Lowe's, after tax, $27!!
I keep telling my husband that he ought to give me his tools and then have his parent's buy him new tools for birthday and Christmas gifts. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! :)
Aunt Pat and Aunt Marce made me a tool box for a shower gift. I use it all the time. As a matter of fact I'm using it right now as I needed to get a screw driver to take off a drain cap to dump some "bulldozer" down it. I know your plumber hubby doesn't necessarily like that stuff but it works like a charm. Anyhoo...I digress...I've made a few of them for shower gifts myself. Great idea. What exactly is a "dremel"?
