Man Gifts for Christmas

[GobbleDog 1,013]

J-B Weld Putty  - $5 stocking stuffer.... every man should have this in the tool box.  Fixes everything. Putty to fit any size and cures in an hour. Glue it? Screw that - JB Weld it.  I've used it to fix EVERYTHING. From tiny to large. Plastic to metal. Does it all. 

Mechanic In A Bottle -  weed-wacker/blower/mower won't start ? - use this. I used to throw away the old machines, til someone recommended this. Unbelievable. Just prime it through carburetor... let sit a few hours... drain. WORKS LIKE NEW. Impressive

Daiwa BG 3500 spinning reel - friend's wife asked me to recommend a reel today. I'd told her to go with this. 3500 perfect size - not dinky, not bulky. Fresh/salt... solid reel. I got one.

Jackery 1000 Portable power.  Got one a few years back - love it. Mostly use for tailgating, but it'll run a full size fridge a few hours. Basically a silent generator. 

Bias Lighting I don't own this yet, but will soon. Makes a soft white glow behind TV / monitor. Looks cool, supposedly enhances viewing, and reduces eye strain. 

What yall got?

Nice. I have a couple. Handy for topping off tires before a trip, bike tires and inflating basketball. 

One tip though... the motors in those things tend to be cheap and can overheat/melt when inflating a totally flat car tire - I killed the first one I had. Now I only let it run a few minutes at a time before letting it cool down.

I've started a tradition in the past two years of getting my three adult kids a "dad" useful gift.  Those gifts have been a tire inflator and a fire blanket.

This year I'm looking at multitool pens, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09P8CQNQV/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A1G9DAZRE9Y9GW&psc=1

My son does some camping, I was thinking something like this multitool with hammer and axe:  https://www.amazon.com/RoverTac-Multitool-Hatchet-Screwdrivers-Survival/dp/B0CDPSLVP2/ref=pd_lutyp_rtpb_strm_cts_d_sccl_1_3/143-4691133-0087919?pd_rd_r=488628fd-f848-48aa-ad1f-ff3fad429a3e&pd_rd_wg=vZcDx&pd_rd_w=c7TJn&pd_rd_i=B0CDPSLVP2&th=1

On the strip screw extractor, I've tried buying multiple different types and I've never had one work.  Have you had success with a certain one?

Vampliers or something similar. I had not a stripped but basically rusted stuck license plate screw and used these with ease.

Then returned them to Amazon because I’m a diick    But would buy again!

I was working on one of my cars tonight, and I forgot to mention a great gift for car guys, fender cover.  Not expensive, but very valuable.
