Giving gifts can feel like a hassle at times, especially if you’re shopping for someone who has everything. And it doesn’t help that there seems to be some sort of gift giving occasion every month or so. Of course Christmas is around the corner as this article is being written, but not long after there’s Valentine’s Day, probably birthdays, Father’s Day, Graduation…and so on down the line. With so many gift giving occasions scattered across the year, it’s great to have an affordable gift idea at your fingertips for a last minute gift exchange.

Here at Haus of Tools, we have a lot of cool tools that make great gifts at great prices – anytime of the year. They’re the best tools you can find in the world and they make great gifts because they offer a lot of function for the price. We’ve carefully selected some unique gift ideas at various price points from around $10 all the way up to about $100. If these aren’t the perfect gift idea, hopefully these will inspire you to find something more suitable in the Haus of Tools.

Gifts for $10 (or Close to it)

You might not think that you could give a good gift of tools around $10 or less, but you’d be wrong. For this price range, you can grab some Klein Pro Impact Power bits, or a Wiha 75805 microbit holder pen. These two pieces would be a good gift for someone who needs bits for hobby reasons like woodworking or drones, among other things. For $2 more, you can get a microbit handle with micro Torx bits in it. A perfect gift for cyclists at just over $10 is the Bondhus 12522 Gorilla Grip. This is a 2-pack of fold up hex tools that are compact and perfect for on the move bike repairs. Lastly, for just over $10, you can grab a solid Hazet tape measure for the handyman or miniatures gamers in your life.

Gifts for $20(ish)

The $20 range is a real sweet spot for gift giving. It’s not super expensive, but it’s also not really cheap so you won’t be seen as a cheapskate. You can get a good, useful…something for around $20. It’s also a great price point because you get a TON of options. For starters, you can grab a Pelican 2740 Headlamp in black or blue and these are really useful for innumerable tasks. For $15, you can grab the Wiha 75981, which is another microbit holder with slotted and Phillips microbits. It’s a perfect set for glasses, jewelry or watches. This next part may not look like much, but Wera’s Rapidaptor is a handy little tool that allows you to change bits one-handed if needed. Rounding out the gifts for under $20, we have a few cool options from Klein Tools. To start, you can grab a single hook or double hook tape measure or the incredibly useful magnetic wrist band, which holds all your extra screws in a convenient spot when you might not have any space otherwise.

For just over $20 range, you have a few options. Firstly, Bondhus’ Gorilla Grip 3PK which features the common hex sizes favored by cyclists and others, but the third tool is for Torx. Changing gears slightly, for a tad more, we’d recommend either a Gedore or Hazet tape measure if your loved one needs one. Lastly, for $25, you can get your hands on this 32 piece Klein bit set which features some of the most common bits.

For the $20 range and slightly more, you can find a lot of very useful gift options so whatever gift you grab it will be useful to whomever you give it to.

Gifts in the $30 Range

Some of the gifts we’ve selected for around $30 can make a perfect gift for Father’s Day, Graduation or when kids move out. Each of them is pretty much all the same tool, with just different selections of bits inside, so it’s a great idea for anyone who needs just a basic all-in-one assortment of tools. The Wiha 77790 26-in-1 is normally priced at $35, but is on sale for $21.99 right now. The Wiha 77791, 77792, and 77797, are similar to the first one, but they each have a selection of bits that are tailored to different jobs. If you have a question on those differences, we’d love to help you. Lastly, at just over $30, you get the Wiha 77795 which is the same kind of driver, but it comes with a bonus bits.

Gifts for $50 or Less

Coming to gifts for people that you really like, there’s a few options for gifts around the $50 price point. Starting off, and actually less than $40 is this Wera 30 piece bit set which comes in a nice case to keep them organized. There’s also Klein Tools’ 3pk of different colored canvas store pouches for just under $50. This set is a great way to keep tools organized on the go. You can get a similar set of bags for $35 and either one is great for the tool user in your life. The last $50-range gift idea is actually $59.99, and it’s one of our favorite tools, and that’s the Wera Zyklopp Ratchet. This video shows just how awesome the Zyklop is. In short, the ratchet has been revolutionized to make it even easier to use. For around $50 you can grab some really good quality tools that definitely make life easier.

Gifts for $100 or Less

The last group of gift ideas are less than $100 for the most part, though a couple go slightly higher. For the increase in price though, these do get you a little more for your money. An extreme value at $60, the Klein Tools 14 pocket tool bag makes a great gift. It’s a solidly made bag to hold a small assortment of your most commonly used tools. Another great value at a similar price point is this set of Knipex Cobra pliers. You can read more about Knipex Pliers and why they’re totally worth it so jump on this or any other set of Knipex pliers.

For the $70 - $85 range, there’s a few really good options as well, mostly in the form of bit sets. Starting off is the Wiha 39 piece security bits that includes a handle. You’ll get a good assortment of common security bit sizes making this a great value for those who need quality, high precision bits. A similar set (also in Imperial) by Wera at around $80 includes mostly standard bits, some sockets and the trademark Wera handle. The biggest value from these sets are the handles as bits do have to be replaced on occasion.

While the previous gifts were under $100, these last couple are just over, priced at $120.99, but they’re definitely great gifts if you’re planning to give someone a socket and ratchet set for a gift. It certainly would be better than any generic cheap set you might pick up at a dollar store. After all if you’re giving someone a socket set as a gift, presumably for emergencies, you’d better give them a good brand. Either set would be an excellent gift for graduation or Father’s Day (if dad works on cars) one is Imperial and the other is Metric, but both come with the Zyklop ratchet, which on its own is $60. These sets by Wera are well made, feel solid and look amazing all while coming in a tough fabric case. They’re definitely worth the price.
