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

John
Thanks for your note, I’ll be looking at your article for sure.
This brings me to the one complaint I have with “Shop Talk”.
At least in my case, if I hit return (or even return all) my reply 
goes to the sender of the email instead of to the general membership 
of Shop Talk.  I think this severely limits the benefits that would make 
the group even more useful.  Why not set the default to reply to the 
group?  I’m assuming this was a choice made at some earlier time.
Can anyone fill me in on this anomaly ?

Steve,

I never saw much in the way of repllies.  But I think you've made a good decision.
I've bougth both my boys sets similar to that.  I even carry a cheap set I got many years ago, so I have some tools with me when I'm on the road.

Also depending of what they want to check out Harbor Freight for things like impact socket sets, and cheaper tools that don't get used often or hard.

You mgiht want to check out my article:

"A Serious Look at Tools for the Automotive Hobbyist's Workshop  Updated June 1, 2009"
   Part 1 - Hand tools
  Part 2 - Specialized/diagnostic tools 

and the list of what tools to by when, listed at the bottom of the 1st article:

But looking at the cars you have, you should already know everything I've said, and is in my 2 articles. :)

I wish him well.  And it's good to see an Uncle thinking about helping the next generation.

John
