a double standard or?

why is it every woman and her mother become insulted if you buy them a washer and dryer, a stove or a refrigerator or iron for christmas or hanukkah, but a man is suppose to be thankful when given a electric saw, lawnmower, or a cordless drill for the same holiday. i have seen this happen in many relationships and it always ends up the same way. the man has to thank the woman, but the man gets blasted for doing the same. so the question is, is this a double standard?

I need to buy my husband a cordless drill for Christmas and I don't know which one to get. I was looking at a Craftsman that says it is 19.2 volt and then a Black and Decker that is 14.2 volts - which one is better. the Craftsman is cheaper (its on sale)

Tool shower?? Too odd?

My bridal party has asked me what kind of shower I would like, knowing I would hate a lingerie shower. My first thought is a tool shower! Though I am VERY girly, I also love building things and since we just bought our house, plan some major renos. I have the standard things but, hey, you can never have too many cordless drills! There's lots of little things I could still use (staple gun, etc) all they way up to majors (skill saw). Would this be too odd? I have ALL the cooking stuff (down to lemon zesters, etc.) and really don't need anything else! I'm hesitant to ask them for this!
Home depot doesn't have a registry (at least in Canada) but Canadian Tire does and they have a GREAT tool selection, once again from staple guns and titanium drill bits to saws! My fiance laughed intially (me getting the tools) but since he bought me a jig saw for Christmas, he should be used to it by now!

Wasn't sure where to post this question but anyway......Is this a good drill for to do projects in and around the house? Was thinking of buying it for a Christmas gift for the husband but I'm not sure what to look for when purchasing something like this.
Any advice and/or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanx!

My husband wants a cordless "impact gun" for Christmas. He wants to be able to loosen nuts and bolts on his mustang project car. He also wants to use it like a normal cordless drill/driver, to finish our basement.

When I search for "impact gun"... I only find an "impact wrench", which seems to use socket attachments. Or an "impact driver", which uses drill and screw bits.

Is there an impact tool that can be used as a wrench AND a driver? Are there attachments that can convert the tool for different functions?

I wasn't sure where to post this question but anyway, I am looking to purchase a new drill for my husband for Christmas but I'm not sure what to look for when buying. Is there much difference btwn these 4 drills? Which would be better? Also if you have better recommendations that'd be great too. Thanx!

Thanx everyone....ummm except "cindy h"...no, not ALL men love Craftsman. My husband prefers DeWalt just as some of the guys here... As for asking me...Ralph Lauren or No Boundaries...well I'd have to say neither.....Wish I could give most of all the rest of you guys 10 points as you've all been very helpful. Thanx much!
