As a Geek, I see power tools just a little different than most. I'm excited about the details and which ones have what makes sense instead of just which one is best for the ego. Sure, I like powerful. But I also appreciate it when someone just gets the balance of power and usability right.

More contest winner photos

It was December in the windy city. It was cold outside, but inside was a hot round of prize drawings at Allan Dick's special dinner event. I didn't get pictures of every winner, but I "borrowed" a couple taken of a couple of the winners I gave prizes to.

First, Chris Sherman won again. He got an Irwin tool bag filled with Irwin tools. It was a great prize, although I felt sorry for him having to try to figure out how to get that home. After all, he doesn't just live down the street.

But, since I didn't hear any more about it later, I think he must have figured out how to get it all home. It was quite the bag of tools. It included vise grips, a mini level, and work gloves as part of the overall sampling that was included.

Yes, this is the same Chris Sherman that won a tool belt in San Jose in August. Now he'll have something to fill that belt up with, so I guess that worked out well.

The other prize winner that I located a photo of is Alan Rimm-Kaufman. He won a Bosch Litheon Pocket Driver. I thought that was a great prize, and he was pretty excited about it. At the time, it was pretty much brand new technology and it was pretty exciting to get one of those as a give-away. I'm sure Alan is enjoying it - I'm sure I would.

We'll have to see what I can get donated for the next dinner event. This one will be in New York next month and should be another top-notch event. The folks at Vintage Tub sure know how to throw an event.
