the best gift I ever got for Christmas was my first set of tools :smile: , from Santa of-course.. i did the same as your son, hiding screwdrivers in the garden from time to time, then i eventually graduated to "fixing" the photocopier, which resulted in a nice broken smoking photocopier :doah: . that christmas i was disappointed i got the tools, but then i realized how valuable they were to me. get him a good set of craftsmen tools when he's 10 or so, if he breaks em bring them in and get a new one.
