Jake's 15th Birthday

Mr Mac · Oct 18, 2011

This weekend my wife and I were discussing what we could get our youngest, Jake, for his upcoming 15th birthday. For me, this was a no-brainer! He is going to get his permit but I figured since we will be starting on his engine in the next few weeks, why not get him something he can and will use from now on? I went to Sears today and ordered a 200 piece tool set for him and it should be here this week! I can't wait to see his face!

Great gift and this way YOUR tools may not disappear! When my two boys were young I kept finding my tools all over the place including the yard where they worked on their bicylces!

Mr Mac · Oct 18, 2011

Yeah, I have a few rusty tools that were left by kids outdoors. I can just hear Jake now some thirty years from now asking his kids why they left his wrenches out in the yard. "My dad gave me those tools when I turned 15!"

RIGHT ON!

It sounds as if y'all have it together...Jake is a very, very lucky young Man.

Mr. Mac - Excellent choice! We did the same for our youngest son years ago, as he always had a strong affinity for mechanical stuff (read taking things apart and leaving them all over the place). Now he's a FT tech, doing very well both taking them apart and putting them back together. And his enormous tool collection and box put my stuff to shame. Feed the need.

All I got was a cheap Taiwan ratchet set, but I appreciated it and used the heck out of it!

Mr Mac · Nov 6, 2011

What a happy camper he was last night! In addition to the set I got I also bought a couple of sets of combination wrenches, some pliers and a screwdriver set! After all the celebrating was over he retreated to his room to unpack and sort all of his new tools! Yep, he's happy!
