I want to buy my boyfriend a Power drill (like power tool, specifically drill… just not sure if i’m making that phrase up). He’s very handy and has wanted one for some time, I’m looking to spend max $150 on it, less is more though! What brand should i buy and where can i get it? even if it’s over the price limit but you really suggest it please let me know!

I’ve been looking at DeWalt at Sears…

Thanks a lot!

Stormin’ Norman asked:


So confusing! I want to get my boyfriend a sawzall for Christmas, but not just any sawzall because he is a carpenter and needs a very heavy duty professional tool. I figure the 13amp Milwaukee sawzall is probably my best bet…but there are a few different 13 amp models. How the heck am I supposed to know which one is the best? Can someone out there who is less confused about power tools help me out!?

-Side note: I want one with a cord. And if anyone has a link or an inside scoop on where i could get the best deal I would really appreciate it!

So far I’ve been looking at Sears and Home Depot for circular saws, table saws and sanders. We build our own custom furniture sporadically, but we’ve always borrowed tools so I think it’s time we get our own. What features should I look for and is there one brand that is much better quality?

men have it soooooo easy when money is tight, women will except anything cheap or homemade if it’s sentimental or thoughtful, but what do i get my husband? he doesn’t like cheap things and he doesn’t have all those “man hobbies” all the websites list, I mean really does anyones husband want golf memorabilia and tools?
he doesn’t golf
he doesn’t do any more construction than he has to, it’s not a hobby it is a chore
he isn’t crazy for cars
he doesn’t fish or hunt
he likes:
anime
video games
rock music
pin up girls
looking good
going for hikes/ walks/ a little biking mostly in town
sci-fi
electronics
nothing cheap!
any ideas, i need help. I lost my job, and can’t get him anything he wants!
thanx for all the help so far i’ve gotten a lot of good ideas! i think i was just being a little pesimistic, about what he’d like because i feel like i let him down by losing my job. and to those whose answers were not helpful and extremely offensive, I”m very sorry that you are so lonely that you have nothing better to do. and that you are intolerant enough in this day and age to go around using the term “fag” so loosely.
