1 15 Gift Ideas
Cordless Drill
The cordless drill/driver is a tool you can’t live without. These are game-changer because they have a lot of torque, bits that are easy to switch out, and a battery that lets you take the tool to the job. There are many options here, but we advise you to get a lightweight Cordless Drill/Driver Kit with a 20V battery and a keyless chuck. Most of these cost less than $100, including the battery and charger.
Garage Furniture
The Garage Furniture is for people who want to add comfort and style to their garages. This ATD Shop Stool is perfect for hardworking DIYers who need a break from standing. This stool comes in different types that suit your garage’s decor. Most of these stools last longer and can hold up to 150 kg and usually costs less than $60.
Laser Distance Meter
In DIY projects, like building cabinets or gardening, it’s essential to get the measurements right, whether in fractions of an inch, cms or feet. No matter what you need to measure, you can find the right tool in our Measuring & Layout Tools section.
A laser measuring meter saves time and is accurate, costing less than $70. It is small enough to fit in a pocket, weighs less than 4 ounces, and runs on two AAA batteries. It can measure distances up to 65 feet away, and the digital display shows units as small as 0.0015m.
Tool Bag
Toolboxes today come in many different sizes, shapes, and materials. A Tool Bag is our choice for a gift. It costs less than $100 and has many pockets that can hold many tools. It weighs less than five lb. when empty. This Tool Tote is an excellent gift for the DIYer who needs a bag that can hold a lot and is easy to move around.
Air Compressor
One can use compressed air to do many things, like fill tires, run air tools, and more. Portable air compressors make great gifts. Most portable air compressors weigh around 35 pounds and can have 3.5 SCFM of air at 40 psi and 2.6 SCFM of air at 90 psi. Some compressors don’t need oil for maintenance either! Usually, these compressors cost around $150 to $200, making them a great gift.
Work Gloves
Work Wear & Safety Equipment are vital to keeping yourself safe. Think of gloves as something you use up over time. A new pair makes an excellent gift for someone.
Mechanics gloves can be used for a wide range of tasks and will be appreciated by the person you give them to. They are thick, warm, and strong and are already shaped to fit your hand. It may seem like a lot for gloves, but the DIYer in your life must protect their hands.
Respiratory Mask
People who work with dangerous chemicals need to protect their lungs. Our Masks & Respirators category has some of the best health-protecting gear.
This High-Efficiency Dual Cartridge Half Mask Respirator will protect you from paint, solvents, glass fibers, or asbestos. It has a low profile, oversized valves for inhaling and exhaling, cartridges that one can change, and a textured face seal. This is an affordable way to protect your health.
Heat Gun
The DIYer on your list will need a heat gun to dry wood, shrink PVC wrapping, thaw pipes, bend the plastic, remove paint, or solder plumbing joints. There are both corded and cordless Heat Guns in the Power Tools section of our site.
Most heat guns can be set to temperatures between 65°C and 600°C and have a built-in kickstand for stability. There are also different attachments for the nozzles. This is an excellent gift option.
Garage Lighting
Work Lights are essential for any workspace because every do-it-yourselfer needs to light up dark areas to work safely.
A good set of work lights are an excellent gift for someone who works in a dark garage or shed. Its adjustable tripod, rotating and pivoting head, and dual power source (battery or 120V) make it worthwhile for several situations. The best part is that these come in several shapes and sizes, costing less than $200.
Wet or Dry Vacuum
The wet/dry vacuum is one of the essential tools for the garage or workshop. A “shop vac” cleans up after projects and helps with small floods.
We advise you to get a vacuum unit with a 12-gallon canister, a built-in drain, and a complete set of attachments. It costs less than $120 and is a must-have for anyone who doesn’t have one or needs to replace an older model.
Pry Bars
A pry bar is like a crowbar on steroids because one can use it for many different purposes. It can undo almost anything and remove even the most tenacious nails. Your loved one may be imprecise, but you’ll never find out thanks to this instrument.
Multitool
You are only as good as the tools available to you, as they always say. Well, with this little miracle that fits in your pocket, you should be able to accomplish just about everything. The multitool has many different tools built within it, including pliers, a file, an opener, a blade, and more.
Allen Key Wrench Set
Your loved one may be more of a handyperson and assembler. They are the go-to person for assembling and (much more difficult) disassembling items purchased from stores. The only piece of a tool kit that they’ll need is this Allen Wrench set.
Pressure Washer
It will take quite a bit of effort to clean the automobile, the brick pavers, and the windows, all covered with grime. There is, of course, a power tool that can do it! Compared to other gas-powered devices, this lightweight pressure washer has a longer extension cord, a high-pressure hose, and a canister for adding soap. It can clean a variety of surfaces, from the family vehicle to the patio to the house itself, using a variety of different nozzles that are simple to connect.
Plate Joiner
This one is for the do-it-yourselfer who already possesses nearly everything. The joiner makes it simple to construct your furniture and allows you to change it for various cutting depths and angles easily. The ability to adjust your speed protects you from accidents and having a built-in bag that’s been thoughtfully constructed shields you from bothersome dust.
