1. Leatherman
The Leatherman brand of multitools stands head and shoulders over lesser tools thanks to its lifetime guarantee. That’s right, if something breaks or ceases to function correctly, Leatherman will repair or replace it for free within 25 years. There’s a wealth of different options to choose from, all featuring useful attachments that make any DIY enthusiasts job easier and quicker, with the right tool always to hand.
2. Bib Overalls
Let’s face it, if you don’t own a pair of bib overalls then you can’t really call yourself a DIY enthusiast at all. Bib overalls are a mainstay of any manual worker, allowing you to move around easily and adjust your outfit deponing on how warm or cold it is. They also feature tones of useful pockets, tags, and loops, so can always be sure you have your tools to hand.
There are many well-known brands who manufacture bib overalls, but some of our favorites include the made-in-America Big Bill Denim overalls with front zip closure, and the Berne lined Duck Bib Overalls that offer plenty of space underneath for extra layers in winter.
3. Torch Gloves
Torches are a DIYer’s best friend, however, when it comes to cramped areas or tight working spaces, they’re often as much of a help as a hindrance. Today, however, you’ll find a range of useful torch gloves on the market that combine cleverly placed torches that shine a light directly from your fingers and hands to make accessing those hard-to-reach places a breeze!
4. Personalized Workwear
Anyone DIY enthusiast who proud of their work wants to stamp their name on it—and what better way to do that with their own set of personalized workwear? Whether it’s an embroided polo top made for the workshop or screen printed tee that’s equally as at home in the garage as it is on the street, whatever personalized message you decide to create, All Seasons Uniforms print on-demand and delivery directly.
5. Flame-resistant Headwear
For anyone who regularly works with high heat sources or fire, flame-resistant clothing is a must, helping to protect the user as well as any potentially flammable areas of the workshop. There’s plenty of options to choose from, but headwear is nice small gift that is often forgotten. From the Bulwark Bandana and Head Tie to the full-on Big Bill Balaclava, these high protection garments can literally be a lifesaver.
6. Tool Bag
If your favorite DIY enthusiast doesn’t already have one, then this is the ideal gift to help store away clutter and keep tools safe and to hand at all times. A well-made tool bag is the ideal holiday gift as it allows better organization and care of important tools, as well as instant access in a DIY emergency. Both the Dry Duck canvas and the Portwest Holdall are excellent choices to get you started, although there are more specialized bags available on the market for specific tools or trades.
7. Socks
Well, it wouldn’t be Christmas if you didn’t receive at least one pair of socks. However, these rough and rugged versions are likely to last and keep feet warm whatever you throw at them. Featuring extra-wide versions for those with big feet, plus plenty of padding to help take away the strain of those stiff winter work boots, our range of working socks has everything you need apart from Rudolph’s red nose.
