Gift ideas for the tool box

Authored by Jemma Petts

Shopping for the handy person, the crafter or the new homeowner is easy with these last-minute gifts. Find always needed accessories that will round out the wish list and you’ll know will be put to good use. 

Power tool sets

Know someone who just moved? Gift them a power tool set that will help with all those around-the-house projects. You can splurge on a full set with everything or stick to the basics like a drill and impact driver. Or get a project kit that will include several hand tools and the needful drill – great for apartment dwellers.


Extra batteries and chargers

Spend a little time to figure out what brand your gifted uses and surprise them with extra batteries and chargers. Having some extra batteries on charge will keep the project moving with no stops. Don’t forget to check if they are using battery-operated lawn tools as well – another great option for gifting!


Drill bits

Depending on how often the person on your list uses a drill, investing in extra bits may be the way to go. Drill bits wear out over time or get lost and having the right one handy can save a trip to the hardware store. 


Hand tools

If you've ever been looking for a screwdriver right when you need it, you know the agony it brings when a Phillips is required and you only have a flathead. Gift an extra set of hand tools for the new homeowner so they will always have a backup.


Tool storage

Help them stay organized with a fresh tool bag or a snazzy tool chest. You can find the right size for any job - from home to the site. Find the perfect storage solution with our selection of tool storage.
