Looking at this, you might think......yea its a normal large set of tools. But you can already start to see why its not the normal ordinary set.


If you open up the slide out below, you find a plethora of titanium covered drill bits, and a ridiculous gathering of all the philips, square, hex, and torx drivers you could ever want.


By now you could say wow, this is one of the biggest sets of any tools I have ever seen in my life. Then you flip up tray#2 to reveal something that is ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING.


An obscene amount of more drill bits, drill bits purpose built for any task that needs to have a hole put in it.


And it all closes up into an oversize box of wonderfully sharp tubular cutting utensils.


I think it even has a drink holder if you tip it on its side:think:


The best thing about it, is that it hardly costs anything :sneaky:
Take a guess?

Blah. This will be the Christmas of thoughtless gifts. I'm going to be an ingrate teenager. I asked for two things. A Chrome messenger bag to assist in my work, and a bottle of cheap adidas cologne. I got neither. I got an assload of crap I don't need. AT ALL. I DONT NEED MORE CRAP. Grr.

My gf got me ski passes though. Roxor. :thumb:

Think of the exclusion of the Adidas cologne under the tree as a gift to the rest of us rather than a gift missed by you!

I got a set of drill bits that was about a third as big but cost almost as much, a few years ago. I opened it up and looked at the quality of the drill bits, passed one on to my father who gave the gift (who is a machinst and can appreciate quality cutting tools,) he took the set back, refusing to let me keep them and apologized for not opening up the package before buying them. I was greatful recieve the gift, even cheap sets of standard fractional sizes are expensive, this set had all the number and letter sizes as well as fractional sizes, but they were absolutely horrendous, I could have ground better tips by rubbing them on my driveway. You may have scored a deal from your midwest hardware chain, but my experience is that cheap tools, especially anything meant to work on metal, just aren't worth their cost in the long run. Then again not everybody depends on their tools to make a living, and not everybody is obsessively meticuous about the stuff they build with their toos.
