[Shop-talk] wanting suggestions: quality tools for gift

[Greg Gelhar]

I really like the tool sets in the molded carry cases. The Stanley 99 piece set is very good but lacks pliers like this larger set has. https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-STMT81031-Mixed-Tool-Piece/dp/B072BYX19B

Having everything in one case keeps the set together, something he will keep and use for his lifetime.

I’ve got a nephew (actually my nephew’s son) that’s graduating from 

high school and attending college next year.  He’s really car crazy, but 

attorney father isn’t, so no opportunity to gain knowledge, other than 

some visits with his Uncle Steve (me).  He’s going away to university 

and will (hopefully) have an opportunity to meet other mechanically 

inclined students and friends.  I’m thinking of getting him a small, 

but quality, set of wrenches or sockets or screwdrivers or ...........

Something that he will hopefully serve him well thru his lifetime 

and maybe even think of his Uncle Steve whenever he uses them!

 

Any suggestions?  looking in the $100-$200 range, quality with value 

more important than quantity.  Hope this all makes sense.

 

Any suggestions?  Graduation is coming up, so speed is of the 

essence...of course.

 

Thanks.
