So I have a little problem. Martyr's birthday is coming up soon - on September 22nd. I've been planning since about July to get him a set of cordless power tools for his birthday. After researching different brands and different packages from different stores, I found this:
Kit includes cordless drill with two double-ended screwdriver bits; circular saw with carbide-tipped blade, edge guide and wrench; reciprocating saw with two blades; jigsaw with two blades; chainsaw with bar oil; Tuff Sucker wet/dry hand vac, MeasureTech sonic measuring device and flashlight with adjustable head. Comes with 41-piece bit/blade/file set, two rechargeable batteries, one-hour diagnostic charger, rolling storage bag and operator's manual.
Now, here's the problem.
Tonight, John's mom took him shopping for his birthday. He came back with - you guessed it - cordless power tools. A cordless circular saw and a cordless power drill.
Now I obviously can't get him the kit I was planning on getting him, so I'm stuck with exactly two weeks to find something cool to get him for his birthday. Clothes are lame and I can't afford an LCD monitor for him.
You guys have any serious suggestions for what I can get him? I have about $200 that I can spend, but I'd be willing to spend more if I found something l33t (like that power tool set
).
Don't worry about him seeing the suggestions. I won't actually say if I'm getting him anything that you guys have suggested, so it should still be a small surprise to him.
Thanks!
