<p>The handiman in this household prefers to choose his own tools. I would never buy them myself.</p>
<p>My husband hands out business cards…and my 20 something just made new ones to hand out. This is not uncommon!</p>
<p>Thank you all for the suggestions - keep more coming! The things I am looking for are more like the Joby light or the rolling shop seat, not power tools. The handyman is all set when it comes to power tools. :)</p>
<p>Another hubby idea – laser level.</p>
<p>These are nice.

<p>I once saw duct tape band aids (I think at Ace Hardware). I was sorry I didn’t buy any… they would have given us all a good laugh.</p>
<p>Those band aids would make a great stocking stuffer for D2’s fiance! Thanks!</p>
<p>What about gloves that can me used when doing handywork outside?</p>
<p>If he is into wood-working at all or just needs good hand tools-- [Lee</a> Valley Tools - Woodworking Tools, Gardening Tools, Hardware](<a href=“http://www.leevalley.com/us/?c=2]Lee”>http://www.leevalley.com/us/?c=2) . This catalog makes my husband drool.</p>
<p>And their Christmas Gift catalog has a lot of really good ideas for other people in you life. The Kolsch beer glasses are a great deal.</p>
<p>I was coming in to sugget a laser level too!</p>
<p>I want a Dremel. The kit for fine detail work.</p>
<p>Plenty of our money has been spent at Rockler. There’s always some new gadget that H must have. I think Woodcraft is the other store he likes. Also some bigger things at Jet.
I’ve bought him cushioned floor mats, an a-frame tool holder
[Pack</a> Rack® Clamp & Tool Storage System with FREE Tool Apron ($31.99 Value!) - Rockler Woodworking Tools](<a href=“http://www.rockler.com/pack-rack-clamp-rack-with-free-pack-rack-tool-apron]Pack”>http://www.rockler.com/pack-rack-clamp-rack-with-free-pack-rack-tool-apron)
amongst other things. He’s fussy because the garage doesn’t have a lot of extra space, and everything has to fit just so. If I don’t have a good list or something doesn’t jump out at me, I’ll buy some little gadget (micrometer, work light, long straight edge, etc. and package it with a gift card.</p>
<p>I would buy an amazon gift certificate and print it out on the home printer. I did this couple times for my organization volunteers and they really appreciated.</p>
<p>Thank you all!
Laser levels are a good idea. This one looks great:
[Crosshair</a> Laser Line Level - Lee Valley Tools](<a href=“http://www.leevalley.com/US/wood/page.aspx?p=71143&cat=51&ap=1]Crosshair”>http://www.leevalley.com/US/wood/page.aspx?p=71143&cat=51&ap=1)
This would be very helpful for their upcoming kitchen remodeling projects.</p>
<p>(Of course, CC cookies are way too smart! I now keep getting ads for tools, and just got an ad for a gadget that would knock Mr B’s socks off: [Virt</a> VT02](<a href=“Power Analyzers: Power Quality Analysis and Measurement | Fluke”>Power Analyzers: Power Quality Analysis and Measurement | Fluke) LOL.)</p>
<p>That is one neat tool.</p>
<p>Who needs a laser level when there are iPhone apps that are levels?</p>
