Just as finishing off drywall corners requires finesse and attention to detail, holiday gifting is also about having an eye for the details. That said, finding the perfect gift for the drywall pro in your life doesn’t need to be complicated. Whether they’re looking for automatic (or semi-automatic) drywall tools, drywall supplies or something to provide some comfort on a long job, our gift guide is sure to bring some festive cheer to everyday drywall pros this season.
Essential Gifts For Everyday Work
Don’t overthink it: sometimes the greatest gift of all is the one right under your nose. Upgrading those everyday drywall essentials can make a really big difference, ensuring those tough projects go a little smoother. Our recommendations:
- Drywalling tool belts: Gift them a durable, well-organized tool pouch or belt specifically designed for drywall pros. Opt for one with pockets for knives, screwdrivers and measuring tools. The Diamondback Artisan Tool Belt System is a higher price point, while Duracuir is a more cost-effective option.
- Taping knives: Gift them a fresh set of stainless or blue-steel taping knives, especially those with ergonomic grips. DeWalt is a great option, available in multiple sizes, and features a soft-grip handle.
- Hard hat: Gift them a lightweight, comfortable hard hat with ventilation and accessory slots. Opt for brands like Klein, Green Devil or Ridgeline.
Bigger Gifts For Bigger Projects
Help them level up with a few bigger ticket items that will boost efficiency and comfort on the job site. Our recommendations:
- Drywall bench: A sturdy, adjustable bench can make ceiling work safer and more efficient. We love the MARSHALLTOWN Adjustable Folding Aluminum Drywall Bench, as it’s constructed with high-strength aluminum alloy, has a wide surface to work on, and an E-Z Lock height slide for easy adjustment.
- Portable work light: When it comes to sanding, cutting or finishing, they can’t afford to miss a detail! Brands like DeWalt, Ryobi, and Milwaukee have great options for bright, rechargeable LED lights at many price points.
Cozy Gifts for Comfort and Convenience
For something useful and thoughtful, these small-but-mighty gifts might be it! Our recommendations?
- Moisture-wicking work shirts: Gift them a lightweight shirt that pulls moisture away. Columbia, DeWalt and Carhartt have many great options.
- Work gloves: Because you can never have too many pairs! Opt for flexible gloves designed for grip and precision, from brands like Makita and 3M.
- Coffee thermos: Gift them a durable, insulated mug to keep their caffeine piping hot! Stanley really has this market cornered and has a variety of options and colours to choose from.
