Those are good suggestions! Thing with tools is we watch tools until a good sale comes up, if it's a gift that person probably isn't watching the price or will buy when it seems like a sale price but isn't a great price.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@gnic76 yeah I don’t only like good tools… it’s the thrill of the deal 😂 Not that it’s bad if it’s a gift… I’m not going to complain about it, it’s nice someone was thoughtful. I just want their money to go as far as it can just like it’s my money.

[@gnic76]

@MORGANSMaintenance Yes for sure. Back before online and such, you were limited to what was available and price comparison was local only. Now it's easier to price compare, though shipping can negate any sale.

[@thenexthobby]

Consumables are an “unsexy” gift but a solid gift for all the reasons mentioned. For people on Amazon you can share wish lists AND include a blank text page within your wishlist if what you want is not sold on Amazon or available for less somewhere else. I started down that road last month but decided against it, “allowing” the gift giver to just give it their best shot.

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

Unsexy like undies and socks but very utilitarian!

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@thenexthobby I never complain about any gift, it’s nice someone though enough to get me something. These are just some ideas for those who like getting people stuff they will for sure use

[@sandy_knight]

If you're buying for an amateur/home mechanic I'd add other consumables like grease, anti-seize, lube, disc brake cleaner, degreaser, blue-roll, nitrile gloves (check their workshop/shed to see what they use). Radar Labs grease syringes with the brush applicator are also great, if they haven't come across them they'll love them, if they already have some they'll always find a use for more.

[@HarrisonINK]

I was gonna mention this. Having a few extra cans of crc is nice to have

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@sandy_knight 👍👍

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

Im always the one bailing people out or keeping the kiddos rice burner running. You always need mass air flow cleaner or break clean! The thing is kids think these consumables are free right?

[@sandy_knight]

@@MattHmm-rq6dn I hear ya! I would counter that though, I'm often servicing relatives bikes, having to replace stuff prematurely cause they haven't used enough lube (or not used it frequently enough). They pay for parts and I do warn them but in a couple of months their drivetrain will be a mixture of rust and grinding paste again...

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

One of these days they will make sprockets and gearsets out of titanium then rust won't happen. Make it happen Shimano!

Got that sweatshirt last Xmas. The best! Unlike the Milwaukee work pants (whose pockets rip easily), this sweatshirt is A+++++.

@@mozzberg590 I like their sweatshirts and these arent as thick as some of their others. Milwaukee heavy sweatshirts will make you hot as all get out, which is great sometimes… but I prefer the midweight ones

Visa gift cards are the best option in my opinion. You can use them at any location

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

That is a good feature about those… sometimes I have a hard time using them at places. It’s rare, but it usually depends on if you are spending more than what’s on the card and want to pay the difference. But yeah a card that works anywhere is the closet thing to a fore sure fit

@ I picked up the MB5B which is similar but a backpack style. Personally if I didn’t want/care about the Backpack I think it would be a better option than the MB5B just for the tool pouch layout. But that’s without me having the XXL or ever seeing it in person. That’s just from videos… so I’m just guessing

[@ElectroAtletico]

Black Friday's deal of 3 x Milwaukee Fastback utility knives for less than $20 was incredible. I ended up purchasing a total of 4 sets (total of 12 knives) and gave my co-workers one each for Christmas.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@ElectroAtletico they are great knives… I don’t see my self venturing away from them.

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

Tiz the season for consumables! That milwaukee deal is spend 300ish or more for mass amounts of cheap tapes squares and fastbacks. Gotta do like your mom did require them when they loose stiff to come to you to give them another so they last the year like school supplies 😆.

[@OnusBones]

Good list. Known consumables are usually good, but know what the person uses, if possible. If you give a gift card, you can also write in the card what you were thinking about (e.g. drill bits, driver bits, saw blades, batteries) if they are things best bought by the recipient (e.g. I use rechargeable batteries now, so that box of AA I might have liked ten years ago will now most likely sit until they leak).

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@OnusBones agree, you typically have to know them a little… or at least do some investigating

[@nvspadilla]

I got my dad a holstery set. He’s in his 60’s and has been a carpenter his whole life. He hates wearing tool belts these days and uses the cheap screw aprons 😂. So now he can pick and choose what’s right for the job. And a cheap magnet stick extension from harbor freight for a stocking stuffer.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@nvspadilla they are really ice pouches, it’s what I use nearly 100% of the time. People able to take them on/off easily while working is so nice

[@HarrisonINK]

Just thought of another. Blades! weather it’s reciprocating, cut off wheels, diamond wheels, circular saw blades, etc. This would take some “research” to see what the tool guy has (brand, size, material.)

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@HarrisonINK very true, we roll through those too 👍

[@darbo6955]

I don’t wear a lot of it like I should… but I do wear gloves a lot

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

those cut level one milwaukees are good I bought 8 pairs recently. Also seen the kleins in action and they seem to be solid. My only complaint is the milwaukees claim to be able to use with touchscreens instead of the constant taking off and putting back on, but They seem to be hit or miss with a screen protector (even with high sensitivity touch screen mode)

[@OnusBones]

See Dr. Morgan's recent (this year) video on these gloves; he touches (no pun intended) on that in the video.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@OnusBones I see what you did there 😂

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@TOOL_TECHNICAL yeah the Kleins perform the best for me on those. They all claim it, but some are better than others

[@GS-lh2nx]

Actually, I did get the free tool, but I am giving you the battery that I didn't need because I won't get in trouble with the Mrs. when she asks about the credit card, and I can honestly tell her it was for a Christmas present. You're Welcome and Merry Christmas

[@scotts4125]

I might be a semi special handyman. I changed our A/C capacitor at 2am in my underwear. My wife always complains about me buying new tools also and not leaving anything for her to buy. She likes me buying new tools though because she knows I take care of everything around the house. I run calls with a laptop and a laptop tray in my vehicle. People always ask if I am a cop. lol I bought a new expensive laptop but wanted to leave my old laptop in the case. I like Tenba cases which are about $200 so I finally found her something to buy me for Xmas. We were going to split on another Toto Washlet which is close to $2400 and worth every penny. She is with a medical group and not happy so she is leaving to open her own practice again, going solo. This is going to be mid to upper 6 figures so I said maybe we should hold off on the Toto this year. Wish you were in So. Fl. I would hire you to do the build out. Still have one in the master but wanted another in one of the guest bathrooms. It just happens to be across from my home office. :)

[@pubcollize]

Buying someone the consumables they already use on a daily basis in their job is a very weird idea for a "gift". I understand that people are uncomfortable with giving each other cash as a gift, and nowadays gift cards are treated as fiat, but you've said yourself this is basically giving them cash but veiled as a gift.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@pubcollize essentially I’m saying get them something you know they can use… instead of attempting to get them a tool. Most people think they should get me a tool because that’s what I like more than anything… but it’s always better to get someone something they will use in my opinion, than a thing they won’t use but fits a category of what they like. With all these you still need to know the person. If you know the tool they have on their list get it… if you know where they spend their money, get a gift card. Me and my wife have the same money so cash is always silly for us. She is always looking for ways to get something for me that is something to open I can use. So that was the idea behind this. Cash works too though if that’s what someone wants to do.

[@stfloppy]

Work wear is a good idea but I would say don't buy the branded stuff unless you are sure they would like it.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

Yeah with a few of these you have to know the person a little bit. They probably see the clothes you wear the most.. buying extra of those is the safest
