Coast C19 Tactical Knife

This is just an all-around handy pocket knife. It's handsome and durable. ($18.00; amazon.com)
Sog Folding Pocket Knife

This is a sweet stocking stuffer. You just can't have too many pocket knives. I love the partially serrated blade and the safety that locks the blade closed. You can reverse the belt clip if you're a lefty. Great ergonomics in the handle. ($35.43; amazon.com)

She/he can build for you desks, tables, chairs, bookcases, etc. with hidden pocket holes. ($99.00; amazon.com)

COX 41004-2T Caulk Gun

I've had this caulk gun for about six years. It's the BEST one I've ever owned in my 40-years of doing home improvement. It's 26:1 mechanical advantage gives you incredible control over just how much caulk oozes from the tube. NEVER lend this tool to anyone! You'll never see it again. At least not the same color - they'll have spray painted it like car thieves repaint cars to disguise the theft. ($40.32; amazon.com)

Click the switch a second time and you get a direct beam flashlight in case you need to visit the latrine in the darkness. ($15.37; amazon.com)
Stanley 10-810 Quick-Slide Razor Knife
