Are you in need of a tool gift guide?
It might make sense to buy tools for the tool aficionado, but many tool hounds already have the tools they need and most are very picky about what to add to their workshop. I know, I’m married to one of these tool lovers.
So in order to help you with your gift giving, my tool lover has created his 12 Tools of Christmas wish list. These are tools, books, and gear that he has enjoyed, appreciates, and uses.
And, believe me, if it has made this gift guide tool list, it’s a good gift idea. He’s super picky about his tools and gear.
There have been a few times when I’ve asked Mark where a particular tool is located in our workshop. And his response is that he’s gotten rid of it because it wasn’t as good as needs to be. Yes, I’m totally tool-spoiled because of him.
What would you add to your tool gift guide? Don’t keep it to yourself! I also need help with gift ideas for my tool hound husband. So please share in the comments below.
