Most men love to receive tools as gifts, but give one to a woman and it's grounds for divorce.

Well, my Uncle once gave my Aunt a mop for Xmas....she didn't talk to him for 3 weeks. He thought he was being practical (the old one was in sad shape). I thought the whole thing was funny...

I don't know. I would rather have something practical for Christmas myself. I gave my dad a screwdrive for Christmas one year (I was a really great screwdriver) and he kinda looked a little disappointed. Later in the year he was telling me what a great screwdriver it was. One year when my husband asked me what I wanted I told him I wanted a glue gun. I still have that glue gun. Very useful. Then there was the year I gave everyone shims for Christmas. Never can have enough shims is my motto.

I dont know.Everytime I give a woman a tool for Christmas i get a rather nice thank you....Maybe it just depends on the tool....

Hey! I was installing a carseat in Mr. Explorer89's SUV, and saw a laser-level in the back....I KNOW that is one of my Christmas presents, and I am PUMPED.

(But then again, I've been known to hot-wire vacuum cleaners, too......)
