    Sharper Image Mobile ShopThis may be the ultimate tool box. The Mobile-Shop ($2,999) is a professional-grade rolling tool and parts system, packed with 230 tools (from the likes of DeWalt, Johnson, Channellock, Stanley and Mag-Lite) and over 180 of the most commonly needed parts (stuff like nails, screws, plumbing and electrical supplies, glue, and cable ties). In total, there are around 4,000 pieces, all of which are organized in labeled pockets and bins. It’s offered by Sharper Image, click here for more details.

    If you don’t want to take the whole cart over to fix the hot neighbor’s washer (cue 70’s love music), the Mobile-Shop can be broken up into four sections, including a rugged tool bag preloaded with 100 hand tools and an extra parts box.

    If this is just way too much man juice for you, check out these smaller models of tool boxes.

    Trendy Butane Lighters

    If you insist on chain smoking, why not do it with style?Or if you like to light those yummy smelling candles in your living room, why not compliment that new coffee table with a trendy looking lighter?They are much nicer looking than those cheap plastic ones and, often times, last much longer because you can simply refill them with your extra butane. Also, butane lighters have cool blue or green flames and are wind resistant, which is awesome. Both smokers and candle lovers can agree that when that cheap plastic lighter runs out or won’t work, you want to chuck that thing across the room (and sometimes do)!

    Here are some sleek styles found on Smarter.com:

    Lotus L13 Torch Flame Lighter - $29.95

    Lotus Torch Flame Lighter Satin Chrome/Polished Chrome - $89.90

    Hammerhead Dual Purpose Lighter - $50

    Xikar Exodus Lighter - Gun Metal - $49.99

    Most of these styles come in different colors. If any of these lighters disappoint you for any reason, I wouldn’t recommend chucking these across the room. You’re sure to crack your TV screen, put a hole in your wall, or give your friend a serious concussion. Oops! For more trendy lighters, go to eLighers.com.

    A power screwdriver is one of those investments that you’ll never regret making. Worthwhile even if you only use it a few times a year, an electric screwdriver can save you time, frustration and a sore hand. And, oh, that screwdriving muscle ache is the pits!

    This lightweight Cordless Impact Screwdriver Kit by Makita is a model to consider if you need something for small jobs like putting together the dreaded ready-to-assemble furniture.

    It sells elsewhere for around $120, but it’s selling at Tyler Tool for $96.95. It’s a great gift idea.
