If you want to make the car enthusiast on your list light up like a kid on Christmas, give them tools. While car fans still like getting LEGO and Hot Wheels as gifts, sometimes you want to get them something they’ll use, tools are always a winner. I’m here to help you do that. I’ve picked out deals on tools I own or would love to see under my tree this year. These hand tool deals under $100 should absolutely be on your radar for gift exchanges with gearheads this holiday season.
The thing with buying tools is you want to get something the person you’re buying for doesn’t already have. For car people just starting out, that probably won’t be that hard. For more experienced car enthusiasts, you may want to focus on tools that they wouldn’t buy for themselves. These Wera Tools color coded ball-end long arm hex key set for $33.79 aren’t hugely expensive. But the German brand isn’t that common in the US. So, most people have never had a chance to pick up a set. These are the benchmark for Allen wrenches and make a great gift.
I’m not going to tell you that these WeraKraftform Plus 6 screwdriver set with tack and lasertip for $35.44 are the nicest screwdrivers you can buy. Everyone’s hands are different so a “best” screwdriver is like picking the best chef’s knife, running shoe, or guitar. These are made incredibly well, the tips bite into screws like they’re angry, and they last forever.
If you want to spend over $50, there’s a whole different list down there. I have a bunch of taps and dies rolling around in a drawer of my toolbox, but a lot of people buy them on an as-needed basis. Save your loved one from the walk of shame at the hardware store and get them a decent set to keep in their collection, just in case. This Gearwrench 42-piece ratcheting metric tap and die set for $70.26, will get people out of some real messes. It’s also nice that everything comes in a nice box, so it’s easier to keep everything together. There are several good choices down there that all make great gifts.
