Black Friday and Cyber Monday is coming soon. As you know this week is deal week with many retailers having special deals. So as in previous years, we thought we would put a couple of list ideas together. This week will pretty much consist of different ideas and different gift lists. As I was looking around for different ideas, I discovered some stuff on Amazon that I never knew they had. Amazon has a Warehouse section that is made of open box and used items. Looking around, you can find some good stuff at deep discounted prices. Here is the link for the Amazon Warehouse.
Amazon also has two section that I am always looking at before I buy from them. They have Today’s Deals and Amazon Coupons. I don’t always find relevant deals and coupons, but occasionally they do have some great coupons or great deals. Also don’t forget 12 Days of Christmas (This doesn’t start until December). If you are just interested in Tool & Home Improvement Deals, you can check out their Tool & Home Improvement Deals.
If you aren’t looking for tools or home improvement items, scroll to the bottom and there other gift ideas.

- Link – Gummi Candy
- Description – I could eat a whole bag in one sitting. These things are awesome.
I have the Tekton bits, they are nice for the price, pretty durable. The size of the case is perfect too.
Nothing like a list of stocking stuffers.
I really enjoyed the list. Good to see some non tool items as well but all “guy stuff” NICE!
I have the Tekton nut drivers they are fantastic. My only gripe is that they are not magnetic. I will be checking out the sandpaper. Thanks TIA!
I agree that this was a good list with a lot of variety of brands and items (and not just a bunch of Dewalt and Milwaukee bit holders).
Some comments:
1) The 3-in-1 caulk tool is GREAT! However, this is probably the one and only time I would say that the metal scooping part at the bottom should be plastic. I scratched my bathtub a couple times using that exact tool. I have seen some in plastic, but never been able to try one. The plastic scraper on it works great too, but it will dull up extremely quickly. The could probably make it out of a bit harder plastic, but it would probably happen eventually anyway. Get a 3-pack of plastic scrapers at the dollar store to go with this wonderful tool.
2) $12 is not bad for a bluetooth OBDII scanner but you should do your research before buying these. There are now about 50 companies selling these, but they all probably come from the same four factories in China. Figure out which one of these factories is making the best one. I can’t understand why it would work with Android but not Apple. It’s just bluetooth. Either way, if you can’t find one that uses your type of phone, the cheapest you can get one that doesn’t require a phone is about $50. However, $12 to $50 is a big jump. I have the Actron Pocketscan Junior (or something along those lines) and it does all I need it to: reads codes (and erases them). I saw one at Harbor Freight that I think was also $50 (but you can probably get 20% off.) I guarantee that is the exact same as the one I have with different colored plastic outside (same factory…like everything these days.)
3) Don’t give just any gummi candies: give sour patch kids (specifically, the berry ones). Delicious, but eat them for 3 days straight, and I swear you’ll feel a cavity coming in.
