We use propane (120 gal tank) for cooking and hot water. Had a "grill connection" installed and now we never run out of gas.

3. This Craftsman is corded,eliminating the need for batteries and is lighter than a battery powered one.

I vote for corded one. I had a battery one but as mentioned the batteries finally failed and now they aren't available to buy. Paperweight

I like the bigger size blade- it'll help for cutting thicker materials. Though, I greatly prefer my cordless tools- they're just less cumbersome to work with. I'd still opt for the bigger bladed one.

although there are several brands and styles this one is inexpensive.

Cool! I have a hand-me-down Black and Decker set similar to that. I'm quite happy with mine. I hope he likes it and you get your storage shelves!

I know everyone has been talking about tools for "mods" but maybe he just wants to relax?

Even tho' I have 4 cordless Craftsman 18.2 drills and 5 batteries for them, the batteries just don't last that long, so today I bought one of these which come with 2 batteries to replace the Craftsman I keep in the camper.
Shop DEWALT 20-Volt Max 1/2-in Cordless Drill with Soft Case at Lowes.com

I have almost every woodworking tool you could ask for and I'm sure he will appreciate whatever you got him especially if he knows how much thought you put into it. No matter what tool a guy will find a reason he needs it.

Pretty good. I knocked a few people of my Christmas list. DH got this ryobi set. I managed a cashmere pashmina for my sister for $25 (regularly close to $100). My DMIL and one DBIL are taken care of as well. DH got my gift too. Not bad for one evening of shopping, especially since I dedicated a lot of time over several days trying to figure out DHs gift.
