I don't know anything about this gadget, but am considering it for my husband. It is called Smart Klear carbon device cleaner. They have one for eyeglasses too and he is obsessed with clean glasses. I can't find many reviews so I'm not sure if they are worth it. They also have lens cleaners for cameras. I'd be interested in anyone's knowledge about this device.

Magic Erasers

Steel Thumbnail If I lost mine I would have to replace it. It doesn't get that much use, but when you need it you need it.

Does he have a helping hand magnifying glass?

I love the suggestion of a OneDayU. Or if there is a well known bird photographer, see if he/she would agree to a hour or two tutorial.

Hexflex Multi-tool They are available in metric and standard.

A vehicle diagnostic code reader.

My husband told me to tell you that : )

that steel thumbnail is pretty neat. I think it would actually come in pretty handy. I have something similar to that but it's a flat screwdriver head on my key chain and it' s come in handy on several occasions.

I'd look into a window breaker...in case, god forbid, you should get trapped in a car after an accident and need to get out.

Rain X for windshields is also great as it makes the water bead up and roll off so even if you're wipers aren't working, you can still see.

I also like those screwdriver kits that have a single handle and the various types of screwdrivers that fit into it. That way, whatever you need is right handy.

DH has peanut butter and crackers every day and we buy natural pb, so it needs stirring. I got him this stirrer and he really likes it.

How about some bungee cords? My husband would stop on the highway to retrieve one from the shoulder if I let him. I am giving him this one that i saw on the odd gift thread.

My brother bought infrared thermometers for the men in the family several years ago and it was a huuuge hit. Even my father, who never liked any gift we ever gave him, loved it. Another hit with my nephews, who are just like my dad was, was a large Maglite flashlight.

It's a lot more expensive than most "stocking stuffers" but I've given this to a few younger guys, just for the unique factor. Not sure how practical it is, but it sure is cool comes in stainless, too.

Leatherman bracelet

For birding, how far along is he in his Hobby? If he's sort of starting out a tripod might be welcome. A Dropcam for his bird feeder. A waterproof field notebook. Gift certificate towards more and more expensive lenses.

Thank you all, these are great and I've added a few to my Amazon cart!

Robo, he has a large collection of what seems to be every lens and accessory available. He goes places to take pics of birds like hawks and falcons, not at home. Hm, the notebooks are cool but he doesn't take notes...my DS might like those, though...

Annie I thought of you today after reading a Facebook post. Did you know that car seat headrests can double as a window breakers? After you pop them out the strong pointed ends can break windows.

BlueDriver Scan tool is my favorite engine diagnostic tool.

BlueDriver

This isn't a gadget, but it's a type of book I give to my son every Christmas, he who has everything too. These types of books are extremely informative/entertaining. He's a big reader so I don't even try to pick out a book for him, other than this type of book.

Hi Brushworks, I think my husband would like the BlueDriver. Do I need anything to go with it? I don't know about these things.

I just ordered this endoscopic camera tube thingy for my husband. I think that it could useful when trying to "see" in tight places when doing repairs on cars, etc.

I found these really nice lights at Container Store that you can stick in places that are hard to see. I put the one's I got in a cabinet that's dark even when the lights are on. I especially like them because not only are they bright enough but the battery lasts pretty long and is one that's easily replaced.

They also have a multitool like the one above called a pocket monkey

J Crew pocket tee's make a good useful gift. My grown sons (and husband) like the slim cuts. They are not skin tight slim but are not a regular boxier pocket tee. All men like a cozy tee for jeans. They have non-slim as well, and long sleeve or short.

It may sound dumb, but I got DH a container full of assorted zip ties. He loves it and we both use it more than I ever thought we would. Comes in so handy!

My DH finds his ratcheting tie-downs to be almost indispensable. His old ones were worn out and he picked new ones out for his own Christmas gift last year. He much prefers them over bungee cords.

Maybe everybody has these already, but our all-in-one screwdrivers with the interchangeable tips are favorites here, too.

DH buys a package of ratcheting tie-downs about 3 times a year. He uses them in his business.

I have my very own lighted all-in-one screwdriver and hammer and tape measure. I have to hide them from DH cause his are never where they're supposed to be...surprise (g) Oh, the assorted zip ties are indispensable!

A Ferrari.....and/or things like a good ROM Polisher (AT LEAST a $150 for a half-decent one...), Clay-bar kit, Polishes of varying correcting levels, expensive car waxes, etc. Griot's Garage has a catalogue I get monthly! SO many car/garage things!!! I've just gotta hint stronger about the Ferrari.....;-)

The endoscopic tube camera is what we, in industry, used to call a borescope. They fit into the bore of a hole allowing you to see what's inside. We used them to inspect the inside of jet engines. They used to cost thousands and required a boxy TV set to view. Now cell phones are the obvious viewer. For $22 I might get one out of nostalgia - then then my wife would have another excuse to kill me.

Does anyone know if there is a good endoscopic camera that works with iphone?

Does anyone know if there is a good endoscopic camera that works with iphone?

I would just check Amazon reviews.

I've had a long, hard day. I thought someone was wanting to perform an endoscopy with an iphone :/

I just thought I would throw this out there for anyone looking for a neat stocking stuffer...I was at Walmart a couple days ago and they had small LED flashlights for ONE DOLLAR with the batteries. Go get some and give to everyone...HAHAHA! I bought two for myself and am going to go back and get some more. The batteries are worth more than a dollar! They are very bright.

Sigh...the zip drain cleaners showed up in the mail, just in their package, no box or envelope. Everyone was home and DD brought in the mail, saying "what the heck is this zip drain thing?" DH jokingly (he thinks) said, oh, that's mom's Christmas present for me. I just grabbed it and said, that's right, just pretend you didn't see it...
