    Re: Good Christmas Present For Copier Techs?

    If I buy a kitchen appliance, it is for the entire family. Depending on the appliance, I may actually use more than my wife does.

      Here are a couple of not-too-expensive tools, that very few techs have:

      Amazon.com: NEIKO 01970A E-Clip Remover & Installer Tool Set | 4 Piece | SAE | 1/4" to 3/8" : Industrial & Scientific

      Amazon.com: Dynamite Ultimate E-Clip Tool 1.5MM-5MM, DYNT1107 : Arts, Crafts & Sewing

      =^..^=
      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

        I'm just saying, I'm a tech and I don't drink, a bottle of whiskey would be of no value to me at all. If I could take my wife out to dinner and tell her it was a gift from the great salesman we have, that would be something of value.

        A multi tool? no

        Cordless screwdriver, maybe.

          I have purchased both of those for myself over the years. Both have their use depending on what you are working on.

            Olive Garden, Tahoe Joe's, Texas Roadhouse and other national restaurants have gift cards that can be ordered online.

              Hmmm, come to think of it I don't remember some wild events at the hands of tequila myself. I'm pretty sure there were no cops, but you never know.

              I've matured since then and only enjoy it responsibly. Lol

                mine was a recurring nightly event between the ages of 16 & 19, Jameson whisky- neat, black russians, topped off by a couple of pints, the night, not long after my 19th birthday, that they pulled me out of the sea, was when I decided it was no longer a good idea....but hey, boy did I have fun whilst it lasted....best of all too young to be affected by hangovers

                  Long story short, any ideas for a couple of reasonably priced Christmas present for a couple of veteran copier techs that will help smooth things over with the team?
                  a functional pen

                  Nah... it's probably hard to pick one item that will make everybody happy but some stuff like a good quality thermos-mug or a swiss multitool might something. Depending on the covid situation it's also possible to invite that folks to a restaurant, boley alley or xmas bbq for a little get-together.

                    I'm living proof too, although I have no memories of the night...NONE WHATSOEVER, unfortunately at the time, though, there was photographic evidence

                      There's no photographic evidence of my night....however there's probably a log with the Police, Ambulance and Inshore Rescue...all the emergency services that attended that night That WAS my wake up call that I should no longer drink like that anymore, I haven't been drunk in about 40 years now.

                        I don't drink anymore and haven't for years, but during my drinking years every once-in-a-while I would get tore up from the floor up. I would do and say stupid shit but wouldn't remember it the next day.

                        Inevitably, one of my friends would remind me of what I did. I finally had to tell my friends that there's a reason that tequila makes you forget the stupid shit that you did and that by him reminding me the next day that he's ruining my drunk and he owes me the price of the bottle of tequila that he completely ruined by reminding me.


                        PS - I can remember waking up the next morning with such a bad hangover that I would pray to God. I'd say, "dear Lord, if you'll help me make it thru this hangover just this one time, I'll make it thru the next one by my damn self." lol

                          Prepaid gas gift card if the techs drive their own cars. Otherwise grocery or movie gift cards. A variety pack of all three is even better.

                            It didn't happen unless you've got pictures, we are going to need to see those. Please post them for tech review.

                            PS. we will be discrete.��

                              Thankfully, as far as I know, those photos have long since been lost

                              It was a party at my house, I remember up to a certain point in the evening with complete clarity, the next thing I remember was waking up and hearing friends downstairs discussing the fun of the previous night (it involved someone drawing on me, and posting the photos on a forum that my friend ran, that forum is long gone before you ask about it ) I peered down and found a perfect drawing, I still can't remember it being done lol
