Compact Power Tools: Small But Mighty
These tools are great space savers and I did put them on my Tool Guide for Beginners but I’m also including them here. They’re so useful for a lot of projects and they won’t to take up a lot of space in a small shop.
Cordless Circular Saw
A cordless circular saw is perfect for cutting down lumber and sheet goods and has a very small portable footprint!
Compact Drill/Driver Kit
A versatile drill/driver with multiple speed settings and a range of bits is essential for any DIYer, there are hardly any projects I’ve touched that didn’t require a drill or impact driver.
Jig Saw
With a jig saw you can make precise and intricate cuts that you just can’t get with other tools.
Creative Storage Solutions: Organize and Save Space
Wall-Mounted Pegboards
Pegboard is great for storing tools and accessories vertically. You can get really creative with the aesthetic of it as well. I like this galvanized steel pegboard. It’s super strong and you can also get it in a variety of colors. Any DIYer would be thrilled to get this as a gift!
Hanging Clamp Storage
I have my clamps hanging on this Clamp Rack and it is such a great way to get clamps out of the way. They’re easily displayed so you know where to find them everytime you need them and they’re not lying on another surface you need to use…never had that happen right?
Packout System
I use packouts when I have projects outside of my shop but they also keep all my gear in my shop super organized. Really helpful when you have a lot of stuff stored in a small space, there’s nothing like being able to find exactly what you need neatly where you expect it.
Dust Vac
Any DIYer would be so happy to have a good dust vac in their shop. Super helpful to clean up wet or dry messes and it’ll save your regular house vacuum from getting beat up with all the materials in the shop that create dust.
A DIY Experience
Classes
There are classes for so many levels of DIYer and any maker is always looking to improve their skills. See if there is a school local to you or an online course your DIYer would be interested in taking. The gift of an experience can be the gift that keeps giving!
An Event
Meeting up with other makers is probably one of my favorite parts of this crazy DIY journey. Maybe there is a maker meetup that’s not local to your DIYer and you can help them get there? The inspiration you get from being around other creative people is absolutely the best.
I hope these gifts and ideas help you find the perfect gift for the DIYer in your life, especially if they’re working in a small space! and if you didn’t find it here make sure to check out my other gift guides, Your First DIY Toolbox and Safety First. Happy gifting friends, and as always, happy DIYing!
