We have now been together for over 45 years and not once have I ever told my wife not to touch my tools. She would always ask before using and I never got her to stop that either. I figured since we were married they basically were ours. She knew about taking care of them so I never worried.
Over the past couple decades she decided to start collecting her own tools as she always felt bad about using mine, so she now has a nice collection of tools and, don't tell her, but she is getting a large, purple, roll-away tool cabinet from Santa.
“she is getting a large, purple, roll-away tool cabinet from Santa.”
Speaking of Santa, I suggest gifts of clamps. A handyman can never have too many clamps!
BTW: most tools, including Craftsman, are made in China...
