What did everyone get for Christmas?

Post by JTalley »

I finally got the extension set that I've been needing to get for months! Now I don't have to borrow tools to get to those bolts that hold the doghouse on.

What did everyone else get?

I got a full size stainless Husky tool box. This thing is a monolith. The other presents are still under the tree for a few more hours. We are doing a late christmas this year.
