So I have trouble finding stuff to get my husband for special occasions. Typically, when he needs something, he just goes and gets it. Then when his birthday rolls around, he doesn’t need anything and I’m stuck just taking him out for supper or something. He says, the attention of someone other than himself paying the check at the restaurant is good for him and most appreciated, but I to do want more.
So I made him make me a list of stuff he needs/wants that maybe he things is a luxury or anything he feels is too expensive is too pay for himself. Or little things, that he only thinks of when he needs it and forgets by the time he gets to the store.
I started doing this for other ‘hard to buy for’ people in my family.
Here is my husband list.
Some driving gloves. They are supposed to block wind, be touch screen compatible. That’s good because doing deliveries, often in the winter it’s a hassle to constantly be putting gloves on and taking them off just to keep hands warn, but also do the many activities required on the phone and Carplay GPS stuff.
Cheap cordless ratchet.
This one is 3/8 but has adaptors and sockets. Also, two extra batteries.
It’s an off brand. Possibly a foreign knock off, and really cheap. May fail with the first few tries, or might work forever. Reviews are OK.
Here is the top line unit that one is a knock of off. ACDelco 3/8 cordless rachet with sockets.
Top of the line ACDelco 1/4” & 3/8” Combo Kit
Top line. Separate 1/4 and 3/8 units so better chance the small one will fit in tight places. Will have easy to enforce warranty.
Six pack of large pocket Tee-Shirts for about $35.
Extension bit holders for a drill or cordless screwdriver.
Three hex bit extenders. These are magnetic about 2.5 inches long.
Excellent for quick changing bits, and for a drill to have a magnetic bit holder.
A couple kewl 1/4 drive “Mini” ratchet sets.
This one, DURATECH 56-Piece 1/4 ratchet Wrench and Screwsdiver bit, has a two case set. One has sockets and the most common bits for screws and bolts. The other has hollow point bits, security bits and a few other bits beside the typical ones. Each case has a type of ratcheting head. These units are nice for most regular jobs and a lot of very specialized situations. Two extension bars.
One that might be found at Lowes, but is best ordered online for a sure thing. Kobalt 338358 35-Piece 1/4-inch Mechanic’s tool set. It has a handle with ratcheting technology. One end is 5/16 the other 1/4. The various bits are typical for a silt like this with the exception that the torx are hollow pointed that can take out regular or security head screws. No extension included with this set.
