    i am having trouble understanding exactly what Gary's mod is? can anyone clue me in without saying "its a sandbox game" I am thinking about getting it but don't want to regret another game purchase.

    Garry's Mod is a physics sandbox. Unlike regular games there aren't any predefined aims or goals. We give you the tools and leave you to play.
    You spawn objects and weld them together to create your own contraptions - whether that's a car, a rocket, a catapult or something that doesn't have a name yet - that's up to you.
    If you're not too great at construction - don't worry! You can place a variety of characters in silly positions.

    i see.... oddly even you tube isnt really clearing things up for me too much it appears to be something that allows me to alter the mechanics/aesthetics of existing game parts to suit my needs.

    am i close? somewhat like 3D tinker toys?

    This is a pretty good description of it. You can mess around with any of the Source Engine props, NPCs, weapons, and more. The community (much like Minecraft) can create mods, game modes, etc.
