I think you would get more uses out of the fireplace somewhere to spend time together and just a nice addition to the house but it is his BD and a leatherman is a very handy tool so maybe getting him something he personally would use is more important. Just go buy the firepit for the house for both of you to enjoy why make it a gift.

I purchased a smaller set of tips many years ago from Wilton and found I basically use maybe 4-6 tips to decorate. I don't think you need all those tips. You can sure do a lot with a few tips.

Hope that helps.

check Amazon for the item / color you want.

People sometimes pay more on Ebay because they are under the impression they are getting a deal and because they fail to do their comparative research elsewhere on the web or in local brick & mortar stores.

My favorite is the Calstar WCDH-270-C (actually, mine is custom wrapped, but it's essentially the same as the Calstar factory rod.) I use it with 20 pound test on a Daiwa SL30SH reel, and have fished with it from Ventura county down to Alijos Rocks, caught everything from bass and halibut to tuna and wahoo to one unfortunate marlin on it. In general, it's best for 5 to 30 pound fish, which is about as close to all-purpose as you can do for So.Cal. fishing.

To be realistic, it's a bit light for fish over 30 pounds, and in deep water I don't use more than 8 ounce jigs on it. (4 ounces or so is the maximum casting weight.) For that kind of stuff, I'd recommend a second outfit, like the 870-C or 970-C -- heavier action, and a foot shorter, and 30 pound line. Use that one for yoyo jigging for local yellowtail, and so on.

You can get away with one outfit most of the time, but you don't want to be out of luck when something breaks, or undergunned when the offshore trip for 10 pound yellowtail finds a wide open spot of 40 pound bluefin. So start with the 20-pound rig, and as soon as you can afford it, add a 30-pound outfit.

Air compressors can be a very effective and valuable tool, but only if they are working properly. Here are some helpful tips for proper maintenance and troubleshooting a malfunctioning compressor.

First let's start with some basic advice for maintaining your compressor well and limiting future problems. The most important thing to remember is to make sure and drain the water from your compressor tank every few times you use it. There is typically a valve on the bottom of the tank somewhere that allows for easy quick, easy drainage. This will prevent water from accumulating inside the tank, which can cause rust to form and degrade the inside of the tank. Also, if too much water builds up inside the tank there will not be enough room for air and the compressor will not be able to sustain pressure during use.

The other major maintenance task is to keep the air compressor clean and in a warm, dry environment. Keeping it clean will prevent dirt from working its way into any valves or gaskets and causing problems. I would recommend wiping down dirty areas on the tank every now and then and making sure its stored in a protected place. The reason for keeping it in a warm, dry place is to prevent moisture from seeping in to seams or valves and freezing. If your compressor is not working properly and the ambient temperature is very low, then try bringing it inside to warm up for a while.

A question that I see bounced around a lot is if it is OK to run a compressor off a generator. THIS IS NOT OK. Basically a generator cannot provide enough power at start up and will damage the motor each time it engages. When you run a compressor off a normal electrical system (like in your house) there is plenty of "extra power" that can be used for this quick surge. The reason this surge does not trip the breaker is because it happens so fast (meaning thousandths of a second). What will happen if you try to run the compressor off a generator? Each time the motor engages it will wear down a little because of the strain from not having enough power. Since the motor shuts off whenever the pressure reaches the necessary threshold and starts up when it falls again, it can tend to turn on and off a lot. This means you will be shaving hours of use off your compressor each time it starts up.

Finally, the last major problem people run into is a leak. Leaks in the tank itself will need to be welded, but leaks resulting from a faulty valve can simply be replaced with a new valve. Try the old soapy water method to detect if the leak is coming from the tank, since this needs to be ruled out first before you go buying additional valves or hoses. Any major hardware store, like Home Depot can assist you in buying the right part.

The Leatherman Micra is a wonderful choice as groomsmen gifts for your wedding. Leatherman products are sturdy and come with an amazing 25 year warranty. Talk about standing behind your product.

The Micra has a good feel when you are holding it in its closed state. All the edges are smooth and rounded. There are no sharp edges to hurt your hand or make it snag on your pocket threads. When you partially open it, into the shape of a "T" you see that on the back there is a ruler in centimeters (up to 12 cm) and inches (up to 5 in). This would allow you a good measuring device if you are in the field and need a quick measurement. When closed it is only 2 1/2" long. This makes it a good size for keeping on your key chain or in your pocket to have it ready for action.

Once you open the Micra tool into its ready-to-use position, the scissors are ready to start snipping. They are sharp and a small tension bar gives a little resistance when you're squeezing them closed to start cutting for a sure feel.

A key ring allows you to fasten a string to this tool if you want to hang it somewhere so it doesn't disappear. There's a nail file with a curved tip for cleaning your nails. There's also a flat head screwdriver and small knife included. A fine screwdriver tip and bottle opener combination item comes in handy if you need to work on glasses or pop open a brew. There is also a set of tweezers for removing splinters and a modified flat tip screwdriver tool that is marked "For Phillips" so apparently this will work for a Phillips head screw.

Engraved Leatherman Micras make good groomsmen gifts because they are priced at $30. Engraving is included at this price. Most wedding attendant gifts are personalized for that special touch when saying thank you to your groomsmen. A gift item means more when you take the time to have someone's name or initials inscribed on it.

Lisa Gunther is a groomsmen gifts expert. Gunther Gifts is the perfect place to select engraved Leatherman: Leatherman Micras for $30. Affordable groomsmen gifts offered at Gunther Gifts.
