I'm going to assume this is my GGSS gift as in came from Amazon , but it didn't say who it's from. I opened it the day it showed up because I get 8-10 boxes delivered here each week. 

   I got an OFF GRID TOOLS SURVIVAL AXE ELITE . It has 30 functions. I haven't figured out what all the functions are yet. It is a generous gift. Thank You. I will always keep this tool. Merry Christmas everyone and post pics of your SS gift.

That was me Ken. They lost the first one I ordered so I sent the second directly to you. I think you will have to sharpen the blade, the reviews say it will need it. Merry Christmas

 Thanks Heiny57. Much appreciated . This is pretty sharp. Sharp enough to be dangerous . Sharper than my Eastwing . I'll put it to a test next week  trapping a problem beaver.

I was supposed to work tomorrow so I opened mine, then the boss came by early to meet the new pup and tell me they didn't need me tomorrow after all .
I would have been off before lunchtime so I was okay with it , but pepper needs another bath before she meets my mom and her dog peaches and I'd rather not be tired anyways.

I got a great package from Goodfellow, some nice European cookies I have already shared with neighbors...ect , a cool Thorsen 1/4 set ( I'm guessing 70's, doesn't really matter though), and a nice Victorinox classic SD.



I now have 5 of the humble little Victorinox classics that my grandfather favored so much ( including the yellow one that was in his pocket when he died) but I guess that means I'm on my way to having one for each day of the week.
 :)



I feel bad that my package has not reached it's recipient yet, but I'm sure it will find them well in due time.


Thanks a big one Ray, and merry Christmas to all the fine folks here on the GG.

Opened the package today, these shipping envelopes are tough to break into.  Recieved this new, never used Craftsman clamp on vise.  Somehow this has been in hiding for a very long time,  never seen one anywhere close to pristine.  Thanks Steve

John K  was my SS and sent me a sweet collection of tools although it took me a minute to figure out what the orange thing was... bloody handy.
Thanks Matie.

I like the big belt clip on the sheath and the orange handle for if I drop it in the snow or dark.

At 7:00AM this morning a USPS truck with a very leaky manifold gasket rattled into our driveway and delivered this wonderful SS package from Hootbro. To say that I’m overwhelmed by these wonderful gifts is an understatement. Thank you so much!

A beautiful Klein cable cutter, Crescent T&G plier set, nice grease gun, sturdy Milwaukee lockback knife, and a full metric GearWrench reversible set, and a small Crescent pipe wrench.

....simply fantastic!! Thank you for the generous gifts Hootbro. They will be used.

Man, USPS really sucks in delivering this year. I had no idea it would take 11 days by priority mail to travel the relative short distance it did from me to you.

You'll have to tell me how that WERA ratchet works, DeadNutz. That handle shape just looks so weird and uncomfortable.  :-\

My thoughts as well, but they must be popular for a reason.
Then again Madonna was popular and we all know better don't we  ;)

thanks jeff moss!

no matter, cool stuff. some green handle sk. a vintage sk ratchet in great shape, a couple mini drivers, a green handle diamond side cutters, an awesome channellock opener (the best beverages need an opener to access) and some jeff moss decals.

they will all have good homes and the opener will get used tonight!  ;)

Glad you finally got it I was worried but the card had already arrived so I was also hopeful.
I already forgot what the stickers were ,  but I hope you like them.

The P01 pioneer notes is something I carry in my pocket organizer everyday and find indispensable,  I dont like any of the glorified money clips and other so called wallets the company makes but these little notebooks are a real winner.
