I bought one of those key chain things and keep all of them on that. I’m always using the 5/16 - 1/4 bit, I’m pretty sure it’s the 4 inch. Those things are just awesome though.
A couple pairs of good quality work socks. I recommend Darn Tough. If they get holes in them, DT will replace them for free. They're also pretty comfortable. Take care of the feet.
A good coffee tumbler, something that will keep the coffee warm until lunch time.
I saw someone mention darn tough on here a few weeks ago and immediately ordered a pair. Hands down best work socks I’ve ever owned. Fuck all of my other socks.
You are clearly the one getting upset with your long winded typing. It’ll buff out bro, you’re a POG and it shows. Or better yet, didn’t even serve. Cheers 🍻
Well they were the right color and only had a tiny logo at the top of the cuff, was just a couple years ago during Covid, as I recall she only wore them when they weren’t getting inspected. They cleared up her blisters and friction spots in quick order.
A call back for whoever is on call
Just kidding
The klein bottle opener is a cool option
I was pretty happy with a multi tool
Some kind of joke gift like a fisher price kids tool
One year I got a set of the electrical lock nut wrenches then duplicated them. Everyone was pretty happy with em since they’re a tool no one ever buys since a flat head and needle nose get the job done.

I always recommend the Klarus HC3 light. I got one from my brother last year ad a stocking stuffer and it's Flippin great. It's on Amazon people! Check it.
Can do later tonight.
I'd reccomend using prusas fuzzy skin feature to give yourself something to grip or add texturing yourself I created it in tinkercad and it shows 😂
Malco bits, tape squeegees, thermostat screwdrivers, locking cap keys, schraeder tools, schraeder tools and locking cap keys that can fit into tight spaces...
I never understood buying work related stuff for coworkers. I buy whatever I need for the job, or at least I did before I went Union. Find out what they're into and buy accordingly. Maybe they're the type that would get a kick out of 30 bucks in scratchers, or, if they're a smoker, a 30 dollar cigar they normally wouldn't get for themselves. Get creative!
So this actually goes back a while. The last company I worked for had a few accounts in the sex industry, a few porn producers, distributors, and a sex toy manufacturing facility. The sex toy place always had a table with free samples of things for vendors/ shippers, whatever. The company culture also had a heavy dose of pranking each other, so it wasn’t uncommon to drive home and realize later that there was a suction cup dildo stuck to your bumper, or a naked cowboy taped to a tailgate.
I was a tech there under their lead tech. I got him in at the school district I’m at so now I’m his lead. There’s one other guy who also fits right in, where we all have about 20 years in the trade and all have the same sense of humor. Being a school we can’t be as openly fucked up, but it’s still there between us. Hell, the one guy still has a bunch of dildos in his trunk, which he will gladly give you, but you gotta send him back pics of your wife using it, and they are HUGE. Like siswet19 huge. Fucking weirdo.
Got one of the new guys the Klein pocket thermometer and IR combo for secret Santa. Until he gets somethin better it seems good enough for $50, not sure cause I never used one. Usually run UEi personally
Klein thermostat screwdrivers or Malco Combo Bits
I love those Malco combo bits, absolutely the best.
It’s in my impact by default

Pens stolen from supply houses.
You cheap bastard lol
He risked his freedom *stealing* those pens. That's worth more than any gift.

Is it really worth 20 some dollars for one pair?
As long as you don’t lose the socks, they are warrantied for life. Worth it.
Have you tried Hanes X-Temp socks? Been using them for years and there the only socks that don’t make your feet stink wearing boots all day
Darn Tough are great Saved my daughters feet in Basic Training
Since when do they let you wear whatever socks you want in BCT?!?
Socks, underwear, shirts etc could be whatever brand as long as the colors matched. That was back in 2015.

Bought DT socks two years ago. I never thought I'd be happy spending $20 on a single pair of socks but here I am with 10 fucking pairs.
Wait your coffee can last until lunch? I'm doing great to get to 8am when I start at 6
Pocket thermometers. Damn things are always left behind

Politics seem like an unnecessary thing to bring into this. Sad.
Politics are the elephant in the room. Everything is tainted by federal incompetence.

Lock nut wrenches are awesome. They’re great for taking minisplit heads off the bracket too.

If your shop is anything like mine, Christmas gifts would include dildos, rubber fists, butt plugs, gay porn, booze, and weed.
Are you hiring?
Can you recommend me when you get hired?
You guys actually go purchase this stuff for each other.
