(1) JAXWQ Stud/AC Wiring/Plumbing Pipes Finder $27.99 with a $6.00 Coupon today. Regular price is $36.99. 9,635 Reviews averaging 4.3 out of 5 stars.
Wall Stud finders are good tools, but how do you know if there is electrical wiring or a plumbing pipe too near the stud?
You don't unless you get a better kind of stud finder like this one that alerts you to wiring and piping.
This wall stud finder has an intelligent micro-sensor chip with the highest sensitivity which can accurately and quickly find edges and center of metal, studs, joists, pipes, and live AC wire behind walls, floors, and ceilings.
This is a must for anyone who tries to put a hole in a wall even if it's to hang a painting.
I first saw this tool on an infomercial. I never order from a commercial like that. I always look it up online.
Fortunately, I found it on Amazon from a different manufacturer and with much better reviews.
There are 3 versions shown on the Amazon page. This is the basic 10" wide model which probably works great for most DIY folks. You can see the 3 for yourself on that page.
I ordered the
5+10 with a built-in light because you can never have too much light when working on a project—especially if you're working inside a closet. The model with the light is $38.99.
(3) BOSCH GLM100-23 100 Ft Blaze Laser Distance Measure $37.28. Regular price is $49.99. 15,762 reviews averaging 4.7 stars.
Usually when I need to measure something, I don't have anyone to hold the tape in place. This laser measuring device is simple and easy to use by one person.
Whether you're measuring a window in your house or taking a landscape measurement outside, you'll love using this gadget which measures metric and standard.
It's user-friendly and features a 2-button operation: one for measuring, one for rounding.
It's accurate to within 1/16 of an inch and measures distances up to 100 feet.
It's easy to read with a backlit display with large icons, and it's portable, easily fitting into a pocket.
(4) RAK Magnetic Wristband for Holding Screws, Nails, Drill Bits $17.99. 19,243 ratings average 4.7 stars.
I've often wondered how many do-it-yourelfers accidentally swallow a small metal piece because they're holding it between their teeth.
I can't count the number of times I've seen Darling Hubby stick a couple of screws between his teeth and go up a ladder to install a drapery rod.
No more after this Christmas. I wish I'd thought of this sooner.

RAK Universal Socket Tool, $7.79. Regular Price $10.25. 21,440 reviews averaging 4.5 stars.
This tool was one shown on TV. My husband made the comment, "I should get one o f those."
I agree. Even though he has a DeWalt socket set, it seems he often doesn't have the right one for a job.
This multifunction adapter set is genius because it has 54 steel rods that are spring-actuated to instantly conform to the shape of any bolt, nut, or fastener.
You can use it with a manual driver or use the adapter for use with a power drill.
At this low price point, it's a great stocking stuffer for a DIY guy or gal.

SEOBOPG Upgraded Lighting for Garage/Shops $31.99, regular price $39.99. 2,665 reviews averaging 4.5 stars.
The lights have a 5% Off Coupon as of this writing.
These linkable LED shop lights provide bright light with 6 panels to each fixture.
They come in 2 Packs, and they plug in to outlets, eliminating the need for hardwiring them and they have a built-in on-off switch.
They come with a 9.84' power cord, which can link up to 4 garage lights together and control multiple lights with a single switch.
They're equipped with a hanging chain, which can be adjusted from 0-3.28 feet. They're easy to install, plug and play.
I hope this gives you some solid gift ideas for the handyman or handywoman in your life.
