I've heard the boys favor aliens and BBB.
Quoted from BrideofPinhead:Thinking about nut drivers. Do I just to get the 1/4 and 5/16 or should I get the full set?
I purchased this about a year ago as I was starting out in the hobby and it has been pretty much all I've needed for the basic work I can do up to now -

Quoted from gweempose:I have this exact level. It's one of the most useful tools I've ever purchased.
Great level. I got fed up trying to level my pins accurately with bubbles and phone apps. I purchased mine from a Sears store for about $28

I have that as well. I would recommend that for a gift that is universally required in this hobby.
Brideofpinhead - awesome name by the way.
BrideofPinhead, I'm sure he would really enjoy a ColorDMD in Fishtales.

I'd have said audio upgrades too, like woofer replacements with more efficient (louder!)

Yep, these are the same ones I linked to. Stubby hollow + long magnetic 1/4 and 5/16 do most of the work in my basement.
Quoted from iceman44:Does anybody have those Pinball Skates? Do they really work, look pretty flimsy in pics
I have pinball skates. They rock.
I bought the set but only ever use 4 of the 6. The 1/4 and 5/16 are used the most followed by the next size up.

I have a full set. Some of the magnet cores have come out. I've heard of this happening with others as well. Wonder if there is a permanent fix for this.
