Men just want to be loved and understood.

Speaking of Dremel... I just picked up a Jobmate "Dremel" at Canadian Tire for about $10.
Looks pretty darn good quality to me for the price. :cool:

I purchased one of those Job mate dremels a while back. Works great and is dirt cheap and good quality.

He has tools and likes them but i don't know the slightest thing about what he has or doesnt have.. what he needs.

Gift certs are impersonal.

He has satallite radio for his car... any other suggestions..?

Canuck tickets or if he's handy also get him a woodworking subscription for a magazine. Tickets to vegas would also be cool :)

A Hippopotamus! Seriously a couple of things my son has asked me for (he's 20) are a small video camera, a chiller for my tank.....oh wait...that's me.....um.....light force or Piaa driving lights for his truck, crome door and tailgate handles, a nice gold chain with a St. Christopher's medal.

How about a band saw, life time supply of Frag glue, Frag plugs, New MH bulbs, A PH Monitor, Auto top off system, Table Saw, Router and table.

This wouldn't happen to be for John would it :)

Something that you can:
1) plug in or use an 18/24V battery pack
2) has some type of blade or bit
3) makes LOTS of noises when you turn it on
4) can cut through or into thick pieces of wood or plastic with ease
5) see the brand name of DeWalt, Makita, Bosch, RIGID, Milwaukee
6) gives lots of torque when you turn it on

I would be happy with ANYTHING that can do it all.

Wow, very nice items. But somehow, I doubt you can get them for <$400 legally. Let's not forget she's looking for items <$400. As for the previous Aquarium related suggestions, she also said that she is Not looking for Aquarium related stuff.

I ended up getting him a slim 6 megapixel Pentax Digital Camera... so he could take pictures of his corals (and I can borrow it to take macros of my zoos.. muahaha!)...

Frags of my 2 rarest and most beautiful zoos...

And some sentimental or treat type stuff...

Thanks for the help :)

How does your dad like the new camera? I'm sure he's happy that you got it for him. Let's see a pic of your dad's corals with the new camera.
