Man you guys are lucky. All I got was some gear wrenches. But I did need them.

I bought myself an air compressor and some air tools to make up for it though

i want some ratcheting wrenches, but sears has a crazy price tag on those.

They did have a nice big set of normal wrenches for 70$ i may look into buying

I bought those gear wrenches about a year ago and I'm very impressed. I like them a lot.. Very good quality. I thought that they would skip on me but they haven't once.

screwdriver holder/organizer
19.2 V cordless 1/2" drill with 3.6v screwdriver and studfinder

my mom got me a set of deep 1/2 sockets (SAE and metric). She missed the "impact" on the list, but at least she tried. I returned them to sears and got a gift card for now. I'll have to search out what exact sockets I want to get.
