Someone who regularly works on their vehicle or is handy around the house will always have a need for new tools and accessories to make their life easier. To help get you started, we have put together a guide to some gifts for a guy’s garage that they will love and use over and over again. 

Tools For Cars

Mechanic's Tool Box Set

While a car guy will almost certainly have tools in the garage already, nothing beats a self-contained tool box with everything they could need for their next project. This fully-stocked mechanic’s tool box set comes with 170 pieces, including precision screwdrivers and wrenches. Plus, it all comes in an ergonomic tool box with two locking drawers and 22-gauge steel construction. No matter what kind of work the recipient does, this is a great garage present that they will go to whenever the time comes to get something done. 

18 Gallon Oil Drain Tank

Changing a car’s oil is a relatively easy job but storing the old oil and keeping it from spilling everywhere is a huge hassle. This 18-gallon oil drain tank is the solution to all oil change woes. With its adjustable air regulator and 8-foot hose, draining oil goes from a messy chore to a simple, enjoyable part of auto maintenance. The black powder coat finish keeps the tank looking great for many years to come and makes it a thoughtful garage gift for any automotive enthusiast. 

OEMTOOLS Dent Puller Set

No matter how careful a driver is, dents and dings happen. The car enthusiast in your life will be thrilled to have a way to get their beloved vehicle back in shape when the inevitable happens. This dent puller set includes a 12-pound hammer, a variety of hooks, claws, and other tools for removing dents, and a molded carrying case. All the accessories are made from forged steel so you can be sure that they will be repairing dents and other exterior damage for a long time to come. 

Tools For Around The House

3.6 Volt Cordless Screwdriver with LED Light

Even the most dedicated car lover in your life needs tools for fixing things around the house. This 3.6-volt cordless screwdriver is an excellent garage present that will see a lot of use. It has a two-position swivel handle with either a straight or pistol grip for getting into the most hard-to-reach places like behind cabinets or under sinks and the front-facing LED light is perfect for lighting up the work area. Plus, with a 2-hour charge time, it can be ready to use in a shorter period of time than competitor options. 

Shop Apron 2-Pocket Design

When doing jobs in the garage or around the house, it’s easy to get stains or rips in clothes. That’s why this 2-pocket shop apron is one of the best gifts for a guy’s garage or home. It will protect their clothes from oil, dust, or anything else that might cause damage or blemishes. The poly-cotton blend is close to the feel of denim and is both tough and flexible for a great fit no matter what kind of work is being done and it’s made in the USA, so its craftsmanship and longevity are top-notch. 

SP Tools Compact Ratchet Driver & Bit Set

Any car guy will tell you that they never seem to have tools on hand when they need them most. With this compact ratchet driver and bit set, though, you can give them the gift of being prepared no matter where they are. This pocket-sized ratchet driver comes with three Phillips bits, two slotted bits, and two Torx bits for a wide range of uses on the go.
