    A while back I bought some new tires and got a rebate in the form of a $60 Visa gift card that I have to use up before the end of the month. Sure, I could spend it on groceries, gas, or underwear but that doesn’t sound like a lot of fun. I also have an Amazon gift card worth about $70 that I’d like to use up at the same time. Frankly, I don’t need much nor do I want a lot either…

    • Knives/multitools – got several and don’t use them enough to want more
    • Flashlights – got plenty of them although I might consider something noticeably brighter than my e05.
    • Watches – other than say, a Breitling Navitimer, I don’t need another watch.
    • Don’t need/want any firearms
    • Don’t need any kind of luggage or bags
    • Got plenty of shoes/boots
    • I have just what I need on my key chain and don’t want to add to it.

    Which leads me to some of the stuff I have been considering…

    • Knipex pliers wrench. Can’t decide if I should go with the 6″ or 7″. Not going to be something I EDC.
    • A wet/dry vac. One of the uber premium vacs like Festool would be nice but I can’t justify the expense. I would like something reasonably compact (around 10-12 gallons) with plenty of suction.
    • 1/2″ flex head ratchet. I’m not a professional mechanic so I don’t need Snap-On. Leaning towards Gearwrench.
    • Knipex Cobra pliers but that’s much more of a want than a need. Frankly I don’t use the half dozen pairs of Channellocks I have now all that often.
    • Wera Kraftform Kompakt. What I don’t like is the size of the bit holder itself, which might be too bulky in tight spaces. Instead I’m considering Wiha’s Drive-Loc bit holder

    If anyone has any suggestions…

    Thanks!
