Chattanooga was our home for the holidays this Christmas. We went to my boyfriend’s hometown for most of the week. So as a little pre-Christmas treat, we decided to open one gift early. Like a holiday appetizer. A present tongue-wetter. Kinda like a bacon-wrapped-weiner. Something delicious to remind us of all the goodness still to come.
And Jeremy went straight for his stocking.
It’s probably because he couldn’t wait to give the Black & Decker ReadyWrench (that was boldly sticking outta the top of the stocking) a try.
And just so all of ya’ll know…this stocking stuffer was even more fabulous because I scored it for zero bones. Yup. The fine folks over at Black & Decker sent us this as a free little Christmas gift (wait…that’s only partially true…they really wanted us to test it out and send them a review). But after seeing Jeremy’s reaction to the gift (ABP fun fact: we actually don’t blog about all freebies because we only like to share the stuff we LOVE), I knew that we had to shout to the world how this little tool was something we were proud to add to our tool arsenal.
Pretty hot, huh?
Yeah, that ReadyWrench isn’t so bad either 🙂
First thing that my boyfriend did was check out our car. Afterall, we were heading out to Tennessee the next day and he wanted to be sure everything was safe and sound. Plus it gave him the opportunity to see the ReadyWrench in action. His words were,
“It’s like a wrench (which we don’t own) and a socket set (which we also don’t own) in one. It’s actually not a cheesy tool at all.”
Jeremy – there is nothing wrong with being cheesy.
You happened to marry one cheesy tool.
Just a friendly Christmas reminder 🙂
Anyhoo…after he was done tinkering with our Honda, I recruited him to fasten one of our dining room chair legs. It was a bit wobbly after our cookie exchange. And with my rapidly increasing waistline, the last thing I need is to choose the wrong chair.
Luckily, Jeremy was able to spin the little head on the ReadyWrench and find the correct size for the chair in seconds.
Totally awesome. And obviously we were safe & sound on our car ride…so two million points for the ReadyWrench. Maybe the man in your life got a gift card to a home improvement store…well, if I may…I would highly recommend putting part of that toward this all-in-one-wrench-rachet-set. It’s a great addition to any starter tool collection. Thanks a bundle Black & Decker!
So anyone else out there get this cool tool as a stocking stuffer? Or maybe you scored some other DIY tool as a Christmas gift? Do tell. You know that this cheesy tool loves hearing all about pressies!
