Milwaukee Fastback Knife

The Milwaukee Fastback is used throughout building sites. It's easy to flip open with one hand, and it's very durable. Because it's foldable, it fits easily into a pocket or tool belt with no worries of cutting yourself.

This is a great gift idea as it's a tool that's used daily. If your loved one already has one, having another isn't a bad thing, as they are the type of tool to get lost easily. Even if your loved one uses a different tool brand, this knife will fit right into their tool collection.

Tracer Pencil & Lead Replacement Pack

The Tracer Pencil is another item used throughout building sites. It's easy to sharpen with a built-in sharpener in the case, which saves using a knife to whittle a pencil sharp, making it much safer (especially in colder weather). The item linked below comes with replaceable leads, which is a necessity as it's used throughout the day. It's selling point is the fact that it's easy to mark hard-to-reach areas as the lead is much thinner than a standard construction pencil.

The Tracer Trueshot is a great present idea for any tradesman as it really does make life a lot easier.

This gives you accurate location points in seconds.

Milwaukee Magnetic Tape Measure

The 8m Milwaukee Magnetic Tape Measure is another tool that makes life easier. It has measurements on both top and the bottom of the tape, making it easy to get the measurement no matter the awkward position the tape needs to be in. It has a magnetic body that supports itself on metal Stud walls (more and more common on commercial sites), and its metal tip makes it easier to measure across long distances when working alone. This tool is especially useful for electricians, fabricators, welders, and stud wall builders. It's a hard-wearing product which

Wera Impaktor Impact Bits/HexBits

The Wera Impaktor Bits set is another fantastic addition to the toolbox. They are robust and don't break as easily as brands I've used, such as the Makita and Milwaukee shockwave.

2x 6pc DrillBit Caribiner & Angle Bit

Although I stand by most fixings being PZ2 nowadays (see above) you still need other drill bits for different fixings. These carabiners allow you to have a range of drill bits attached to your belt loop/tool belt for easy access to all you need. This is especially handy when up ladders and saves a lot of time looking for the drill bits you need and removes the to and from the tool box and the job at hand.

This is another gift that is perfect for every trade and DIYer.

Rechargeable Hand Warmers

This is the only product on the list that isn't a tool, but it has made my winter days on site much less miserable. When working outdoors in the winter, your hands can get freezing. These rechargeable hand warmers can be put in jacket pockets to keep your body warm or be used between jobs/on breaks to get some feeling back into your hands. They are a great thing for any Tradesman braving the outdoors this winter.

Milwaukee Anti-fog Safety Glasses

This last product isn't as exciting as the ones listed above; however they are a necessity. Safety glasses are a must for any Tradesman/DIYer, and a good quality pair could be the difference between going home safe and going to the hospital. This Milwaukee pair will be suitable for most tasks on site and the anti-fog feature is very beneficial to ensure clear vision throughout the day and stops the need to take them off to wipe them which could lead to accidents.
