People couldn't figure out what to give me for years, as I really only want tools and/or car parts and im a much better judge of what I need to buy than a relative. Requesting a food gift like that lets them research something you might not otherwise have any idea exists, and its a one time use thing that rewards the stomach.
last year I went to this incredible Ande's mountain theme Peruvian place and had some guinea pigs. Delicious

Ive had good results with requesting a gift certificate to some fabulous restaurant. The gift that keeps on giving, plus its a great romantic evening thing for you and the wife.

Seriously, go buy a snapon hacksaw. You won't look back. It's cast aluminum with a rubber coating. No flex, no wobble, it's sturdy as all get-out. You have an upright blade pin and a 45* blade pin. Awesome.

12-20-2013, 03:14 PM #8I got an awesome DeWalt cordless a few years back, but it's on loan to my stepdad. I've only needed to hacksaw 3 times in the last few years, so my M-F-SNAPON hacksaw gets all the lovin'

Is the price of that hacksaw based on reality? Or is it a snapon standard inflated rate?
I have a very similar looking cast aluminum hacksaw that is pretty decent. Came from ace hardware for 25 bucks.
I like snapon equipment, but its beyond affordable IMO generally. I have a snap on torque wrench, a couple of picks, and a regular ratchet. The value of these 4 items (especially the torque wrench) is a lot higher than all my other tools combined.

Id ask for a OM617a spare engine. Then you have something else to play with and mule for test parts. Or just general tinkering.

12-21-2013, 11:13 AM #10Com on guys... this is a Christmas gift. Go big or go home! I asked for a new gun safe. Unless that giant thing she hid in the garage isn't a gun safe then I'll be a monkeys uncle.

If we are going big or going home, I'd ask for a om606 way before a 617
