If you’ve got a plumbing pro or around-the-house handy person on your gift list, our last blog was for you! It offered the ultimate gift guide for plumbing and DIY enthusiasts. Well, honestly, while it was an awesome list, perhaps, it wasn’t so “ultimate” after all. Needless to say, a list of great gift ideas could be endless. That’s why we’re continuing the list in this blog!
Magnetic pickup tool with LED light.
Dropping screws, washers or nuts behind a sink or into a floor vent is incredibly frustrating. A magnetic pickup tool retrieves metal parts from tight spaces. Also, the built-in LED light makes it easier to see what you’re reaching for. Some models are telescopic and can bend to reach around corners.
Amazon carries the FURNIOU Magnetic Pickup tool. It’s “built with 360° flexible telescoping neck and super magnet base; 22.5” flexible extendable neck is be ready to light up every area as you need. (This tool is) handy for home improvement, automotive repairs, camping, plumbing and DIY.”
Compact pipe cutter.
Cutting copper, PEX or PVC cleanly is essential in plumbing. A compact pipe cutter is easy to handle in tight spaces and gives a professional, burr-free cut every time. It’s much faster and safer than sawing. A compact pipe cutter is ideal for anyone who is working on home plumbing upgrades, like replacing old pipes or installing new fixtures.
Home Depot sells the Milwaukee Tubing Cutter. It “offers users straighter, cleaner cuts. It features a replaceable V-shaped, double ground steel blade for clean perpendicular cuts and maximum tool life. The 1-handed locking mechanism is designed for an easy-to-use lock for improved tool safety. This PEX tubing cutter has an all-metal core for added durability on the jobsite.”
Multi-Tool pen set.
These pens are more than just writing tools. They often include screwdrivers, styluses, levels, rulers and even small LED flashlights. The pens are perfect for quick fixes or measuring without digging through a full toolbox. They’re also a hit with tech-savvy folks and make great stocking stuffers.
Amazon offers the KEZKALS multitool tool pen set. It “comes with a 9-in-1 multifunctional pen and a 6-in-1 multifunctional pen, including following handy functions: twist ballpoint pen/ruler/ screwdriver (flat & phillips)/bottle opener (can act as phone holder)/stylus/level/LED flashlight. This perfect pen can meet your all work needs.”
Portable neck fan.
Plumbing in attics or boiler rooms can be hot work. A neck fan offers hands-free cooling while allowing full movement. Lightweight and USB-rechargeable, it’s a surprisingly practical gift for warm indoor work or summer jobs.
Best Buy has the HLD personal neck fan on sale. “The unique design of the portable neck fan is inspired by earphones,” says their site, “It only needs to be hung around the neck to free your hands, and it looks so cool & fancy. With a decentralized annular air outlet, you can feel cool breeze in any directions, perfectly to eases all the sultry heat for sporting, traveling, working, cooking in hot weather.”
