Catch your Sunday paper for a set of Harbor Freight Coupons in the Ad Section.

Free flashlight, $3.99 for the float charger for your battery, $1.99 for the 7 function volt ohm meter that so many of us use on battery/troubleshooting issues, $9.99 for a 4 1/2" angle grinder, $39 for a 3 gallon pancake style air compressor .... Plus a 20% off on ANYTHING coupon good thu the end of the year that you should clip and save in case you need it.

The list goes on -- thing is you can pick something up for yourself and tell your wife that's what you want for Christmas from her.  She'll  buy you something else from her that won't be as useful, but that's OK too.

Harbor Freight ain't bad -- for simple tools that will last long enough to pay for themselves in use time.

Actually, I haven't broken anything I bought from HF in several years now -- stuff is getting actually fairly decent for durability now a days as the Chinese industrial base is picking up steam and their overall quality level is improving greatly.

If that angle grinder is the orange "Chicago Electric" one, get it.  Open the gear case and replace the junk lube (probably rendered whale blubber) with some actual grease and you've got yourself a pretty good grinder.  I got mine for around $15~$17, but $10 is a steal.
