Buy me this, Buy me that. Yup. It’s that time of year again. Let me take a little bit of the work out of it for ya. After spending decades of my life in and around a tool box I have come up with some great gifts for you or your mechanic. I tried to base my picks on use, application and longevity. These are not in any particular order.
Magnetic Socket Organizer Set
The top tool gift for this year is one of my favorites. These Magnetic socket holders are a must have for a productive mechanic. Crawl right under the hood or undercarriage with these socket holders. Just pop it on anything metal and they stay put until you need them. Less time running back and forth to the tool box for the right size socket.
Tool Box Drawer Organizers
We take the time to choose the right tool box and some of us spend years making payments on it. Some will take the time to wash and wax the outside of there boxes. This is a great idea for those that have time to stand around. Being spit shined and polished doesn’t put any extra money in your pocket. So the next time you have a spare minute or two. Install some tool box drawer organizers. Huh? What does that have to do with making money?
Just about anyone can tell you that being organized with what you’re doing will increase productivity. When a mechanic is getting paid flat rate, the faster the job is done the more money a mechanic can possibly make in the same day. So after installing some tool box drawer organizers each job may take less time looking for tools.
Wrench Organizers with HANDLES
I can’t emphasizes enough on how much the handles on wrench holders are needed. These top of the line Tool gripper wrench organizers are the perfect gift for any home or professional mechanic.
Tool Box Foam Organizer
Foam! Who doesn’t like foam?! I think these foam drawer inserts are beyond cool! And to be able to custom design each layer to fit just about any of your favorite tools. Tool swill be exactly where you want them. I found these Foam Tool Box Organizers stood out because it’s “made of high-quality polyethylene foam material that is durable and reliable, resistant to fading and breaking”. And did I mention I think they are super cool.
