That's when I learned to NEVER give your wife ANY kind of present that plugs in.

I had it lucky for a while. While we were deep in in house reno and cottage building mode, my wife loved getting power tools as gifts. She now has her own cordless drill, router, and detail sander. Technically our brad nailers are hers - a gift from my brother. She even asked for a sawzall, which I got her for Christmas one year, but she’s agreed to use it only under supervision. That thing can be dangerous if you don’t have the upper body strength.

Having said all that, I still wouldn’t buy her a dust buster!
