Home Depot for The Holidays: What to Get Every DIYer on Your List

by on Nov 10, 2017

In partnership with The Home Depot

Everybody has their weakness. For some people, it’s coffee; for others, it’s clothing. For me, it’s The Home Depot. I’ll admit it. I want to buy EVERY. SINGLE. THING at The Home Depot. Am I alone on this? Seriously.  If there are others like me lurking out there, let me know if the comments so I don’t feel so freakish. 

If you know (or are) someone like me, here’s your guide to Home Depot gifting this year. We pulled together twenty-eight of our favorite power tools and home improvement accessories, and I think you’re going to like every one of them (I know I do).

Here we go…       

 

 

These handy tools cost under $15:

Gift Guide from Home Depot: Gifts under $15
Dewalt MaxFit Screw Driving Set

1. Milwaukee 11in. 1 Multi- Tip Screwdriver with Square Drive Bits – $10 

If I could, I’d have one of these on every floor of my house, one in my everyday bag, two for the garage, and one in the glove compartment. So useful, and compact. 

2. Dewalt MaxFit Screw Driving Set (30-piece) – $10

Pictured above. A good screw driving set is essential, and it’s helpful to have one that comes in a compact case. Otherwise you end up with a million bits strewn about, and never able to find the one you need (star bit!!!!)

3. Husky Locking Pliers Set (3-Piece) – $10

A locking pliers is like a second set of hands. Or prehensile feet, I guess.

4. Milwaukee Fastback Flip Utility Knife Set with 50 Utility Blades – $15 

Two utility knives + 50 blades for $14.88 = a seriously awesome deal.

5. Ontel Speed Out Speed Out Titanium Screw Extractor (4-Piece) – $15

9. Coast DX318 3.75 in. Double Lock Folding Knife – $10

10. Merkury Innovations Nightlight 2-AC Outlet and 2-USB Port Charging Station – $11 

This is one of those things you don’t think you need until you have one, and then you wonder how you went without. 

11. BESSEY 90-Degree Corner Clamp – $10 

Make square glue-ups infinitely easier by keeping your parts perfectly perpendicular

12. Crescent SAE/Metric Quick-Convert T-Handle Nut Driver Set (7-Piece) – $20 

No one wants to look for adapter and an appropriate socket every time you need to tighten a hex head bolt or nut. Grab a set of these, and be ready to go when you need it.

16. Canvas Band Wood Watch – $20

17. Bosch 65 ft. Laser Measure – $39 

Pictured above. Surprisingly useful in spaces larger than a standard 12′ tape. Once you have one, you’ll find plenty of uses for it.

18. RIDGID JobMax Oscillating Kit (14-Piece) – $39 

Often, the greatest gift you can give a DIYer is saving them a trip to the store. This oscillating tool combo kit means you’ll have the right blade when you need it at 10:30 PM on Saturday night.
