A post I made got me thinking....... Why is it OK, even encouraged, for women to buy the man, tools or just about any garage kit, but if a man were to buy the women a iron, or just about any kitchen / household labor saving device, he would be in the dog house, at least?............... ??? ???

Your so right. Mine would go apeshit if I bought her a new toaster or similar :)
-
Because they are women. Illogical, irrational, irritable and emotional. Just don't do it if you value your nads!! :o ::) ;)

Well got some pants for her this year :-X
-
I have actually bought swmbo a coffee machine, she asked for it, among other things, and I have actually bought a food mixer, she hinted at this, however, just in case this will be an additional pressy to her and Miss Vamps for when they make their cakes, which Miss Vamps loves doing - blame Mrs Cakey, she started it at the Lakes meet a couple of years ago...... ;D ;D ;D

A lad at work fell foul of this unwritten rule many years ago ... bought his wife a hoover or sorts! :o As above he was in the dog house for a long time. ;D ;D ;D ;D

My Mrs asked for an i-something or other, so I got her an i-Ron..... :)
OK OK it's an old and shit joke. I'll get my coat! :( :P
-
Over the years I have got my daughter to get me a bread maker, food processor and pizza stone as presents, now if I returned the complement, I think it would be fair to say the response would be interesting. ::) ::) ::) ::) :o :o :o :o

For Mrs Opti this year.
Two pairs of fashion boots........four jumpers.......three pairs of trousers.......and some posh chocs.......Total about £400
By contrast, the witch has bought me.
A Diana Krall CD......and a Nora Jones CD.......total about £20. :'( :'( :'( :'(
So much for equality. :'( :'( :'(

That's because you are still only giving her the basic 7/6 (that's seven shillings and sixpence for you children ;D) per week you tight sod! :o :o :o

Best to buy your own, I treated myself to a Ryobi 1+ 18v drill last night, on special offer from B&Q, £89 odd, less 5.25% cashback. ;) ;) ;)
PS included the 2 L-ion batteries :y

The Ryobi 1/2" drive impact wrench is well worth considering.

IIRC, he still has the lump on his head to prove it. :o Domestic, heavy, and a nice handle on it so she can get a good swing. All the cardinal rules broken in one pressie. ::)

Absolutely right Mike - to get round it I've bought SWMBO a 3 tonne hydraulic jack :y
