[Shop-talk] wanting suggestions: quality tools for gift (THANKS FOR THE REPLIES)

[Steve Hammatt, Mount Vernon WA USA]

Thanks to all for their replies.  I’ve decided to go with a Kobalt tool kit 
that’s on sale at 50% off.  While it doesn’t have certain tools (and far 
too many screwdriver bits....to up the tool count) I figure that I’ll take 
the saved dollars and fill in with some additional quality misc tools 
like pliers, diag cutter, tape measure, etc.
Graduation party is this Saturday, so it’s off to Lowe’s this afternoon!

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.
