Hand Tools Gift Ideas

Read the guide

24 ideas from the hand tools area of The Woodshop. Nothing is sold here — pick anything up and it opens a pre-filled search at the retailer.

Hand tools are personal, so aim for what a maker can't have too many of, or what they have never tried. Clamps are the easy call, since big glue-ups always need more of them. A pull saw cuts on the pull stroke and feels different from the saw they grew up with. A chisel set and block plane need sharpening, so they fit someone who already works by hand. The ratcheting screwdriver set and claw hammer are for anyone with a house to look after.
