SWMBO's side of the family is very practical. Instead of guessing about Christmas gifts, everybody makes up a Christmas wish list and then they circulate them. I'll get several items in the $30 - $50 range. I've been woodworking long enough that I already have all the basics that can be bought for that kind of money. And I've developed a taste for the "best" instead of the "good enough".
Now the question. What is your favorite tool that's less than $50? Mine is probably my Incra Rule. I use it almost every time I walk in the shop. Ideas anyone?
