And just like that, the first snow of the season has occurred. It may only be the middle of October, but when the four inches of wet and heavy snow fell on Sunday afternoon your husband announced that it was time to head to the garage and begin his indoor work. Like every year, as soon as the first snow falls your husband the change as a sign to go through the tools at his garage bench and get rid of any that are no longer being used. This annual ritual serves as a perfect way for your tool crazy husband to make a list of possible Christmas gift ideas. Being very practical, your husband has noticed in the past that if he does not give his friends and family a list, he is likely to get something that he has absolutely no interest in.
Part of his motivation comes from the fact that his work days are full of using just the right tools for a variety of complicated processes. In his work place, the hand crimp tool is perfectly positioned so that it is easily found when needed. Likewise, environmental splice crimpers are placed where they are needed the most. After working with such efficiency at work, your husband is certain that he should have the same kind of set up in his home garage.

Consider some of these facts and figures about the tools that are commonly used in a variety of settings:
