Christmas Present -Tools!

hustlerzlife · 12-11-2006

I'm building up a christmas present list and I would like some suggestions on tools that you think are invaluable while working on your different projects. I have a decent amount of hand tools, so I was leaning more towards a welder or a Compressor tools set or something along those lines. My budget is probably around $100. Any suggestions?

Sorry I don't know where to put this posting and since my original idea was a welder it got stuck here. Please move if nessicary.

Definitely go with a Dremel Tool along with many many accessories for it. Them little things come in handy. I spent about $50 on mine and used it for buffing up and shining up small details on my guitars and stuff. But then it also came in handy for me cutting that last little bit of exauhst pipe, my sawzall could not reach on my Granada. (I definitely wouldn't use it for the entire pipe).

Just recently I took my carb off my Opel to rebuild it and there was a little bolt bent on the linkage ( i have no idea how it got there ask the previous owner) and I could not get the bolt off it and I could not get anything at it but the Dremel tool came in handy once again.
