I used to work in a hardware store and I know that most of those tool sets you can buy have a ton of things you don't need along with the things you do need. I want to buy my hubby a really nice tool set with good quality tools... but I don't want all that extra stuff... like the tape measure, hammer, screwdrivers... ect, I already have those things. Where can I find something like that? Or do I just have to buy individual items?

Sears tends to have pretty good sets of useful pieces, and lots of choices. You can get a socket set (SAE and Metric), a wrench set, etc... Also remember that Craftsman branded tools carry a lifetime exchange at the store. That's worth a lot to me. Better to put together the kit yourself, as you've suggested, than to buy a weird setup with tape and such.

Sharla, if you really wanna get the perfect tool set for your husband, heres what you do, you ask him. A man appreciates the right gift more than the surprise, especially if he's an alpha male who likes his tools anyway, he's probably likely to have what he wants already. The last thing a man wants are duplicates of the same tools making it hard to keep them organized. If you absolutely have to keep it a surprise, heres the plan to the perfect toolset. 1.) Find out what project he's gonna be working on, rebuilding an engine, building a garage, building a bar in the basement etc. 2.) Take some photo's of the tools he has to the Home Depot/Lowes/Auto Zone etc. 3.) Let them know what he's doing, and what your price range is. You get what you pay for in tools more than anything, a cheap hammer will break, a cheap drill will burn up with heavy use. Let them know how much he does projects like this. Keep the receipt. 4.) Even better than buying all those tools and bringing it to him, you might wanna do this, and this still counts as sweet. Have the people at the store help pick out everything he'd want. Then have them put it on an estimate. Then buy a gift card for that estimate amount, including sales tax. Then present that to him. That gives you the "I'm such a sweet thoughtful hardworking gift buyer" along with the fact that he's really gonna get a set of tools that he wants and needs. I've worked at Home Depot, Menards, and Lowes, and have been remodeling homes for 10 years. I know my tools, and I know what men and women want when they shop for tools.

Sear's Craftmans are usually a good standard brand of tool.. They also have a lifetime warranty on most of there products, so if something breaks it can be replaced.. You may need to buy some things seperately... Hope that helps good luck

If he is not using them for a living, all dey every day, Craftsman tools at Sears are the best choice. they are fairly strong and inexpensive with a lifetime warrany. They have a million differant assortments or buy them seperate... If u love him dearly though, Buy him Snap-On tools, They are a investment for the future

Sears, Craftman tools are pretty good tools at a reasonable price.

SEARS! Better yet, get him a gift card at Sears and let him pick what he thinks he needs. Tools=the other woman!
