Tradespeople are notoriously hard to buy for. But the truth is, if you keep it simple, they can actually be easier to please than you might think. Carpenters have a tough job, and anything that can make life a little easier will be the best gift you could ever give them.

2. A pair of work shoes - Wolverine work boots
If their work boots are looking a little worse for wear, then these boots from Wolverine will be a welcomed addition to their wardrobe. A little more stylish than many of the ugly old work boots out there, these puppies will have them hoofing onsite with a spring in their step!

3. New glasses or protective eyewear - Oakley Radar EV Pitch Protective
PPE is a must when it comes to health and safety, and protective eyewear is usually the first thing that carpenters reach for.
The problem with protective eyewear is that it’s usually comprised of cheap plastic that isn’t particularly strong or comfortable. Thankfully, Oakley has created the holy grail of all protective glasses.
This model is as tough as nails without compromising on comfort and has clear-to-black iridium photochromic lenses that tint or lighten depending on the wearer’s surroundings.
4. Tough tunes - Milwaukee 18V Portable Packout Radio Charger
Most carpenters can’t go a day without belting out their favourite onsite bangers. With headphones ruled out for safety reasons, a speaker that’s tough enough to withstand whatever the work site throws at it is really the only option.
This portable, drop-resistant, battery-charging radio from Milwaukee will stand the test of time and pump out the tunes, clear and crisp, all day long.

5. A hammer fit for Thor - Stanley FATMAX Next-Gen Curve Claw Hammer
Often, the tricky thing about buying someone a gift is knowing if they’ll actually use it. But when it comes to hammers, you pretty much guarantee that they’ll use it. It’s kind of their job after all…
While it might seem like a bit of a cop-out to buy something so obvious, or risky to buy them something that they likely already have, the Stanley FATMAX isn’t like other hammers. Once they get their hands on it, there’s no way it won’t replace their old beater.

6. The ultimate watch for carpenters - Casio G-Shock GA-100
Carpenters work on a tight schedule, so having a good watch comes in handy. This watch from Casio is a great option. It’s lightweight, tough, and has a bunch of modes that will really help them stay on track.
