Need some gift ideas for the construction pro who has everything? The products below are a good place to start.
Klein Tools Lunch Box and Cooler
For many construction professionals, lunch breaks are the high point of the day. Give them something to look forward to with this durable, insulated lunch box and cooler from Klein Tools. It keeps food and beverages cold for up to 30 hours and can be padlocked shut to keep treats or valuables safe and secure inside.
DeWalt Jobsite Radio and Bluetooth Speaker
When you bring a tool onto a jobsite, you want to make sure it’s built to withstand pretty much anything. DeWalt clearly designed this speaker and radio with the construction jobsite in mind, giving it a rugged roll-cage to protect it from drops and debris. It comes with a detachable power cord and can alternatively run off DeWalt’s 12-volt or 20-volt MAX battery platforms.
Carhartt Fleece Two-in-One Headwear
Masks are top of mind for everyone this year. This fleece cap from Carhartt comes with a pull down mask that effectively shields your lower face from the elements or otherwise. Don’t need to use the mask? Just tuck it up into the rest of the hat.
Digital Angle Gauge
If you know a pro who still sets their table saw blade angle with a bubble level, do them a favor and upgrade their angle gauge this holiday season. This digital angle gauge is simple to use. Its strong magnetic base clings to pretty much any metallic surface, giving angle measurements on an easy-to-read LED screen.
PACKOUT Rolling Tool Box
Think of the PACKOUT rolling toolbox as a sort of “starter kit” for Milwaukee Tool’s modular storage system.
While the rolling toolbox provides high quality storage on its own, its real value lies in the adaptable PACKOUT system. PACKOUT allows users to stack and slide modular storage compartments on top of each other for efficient packing and transport, making getting in and out of jobsites a breeze.
Powerbeats Wireless Headphones
It’s often easy to overpay for tech devices that don’t live up to their value. But with Powerbeats High Performance headphones you can rest assured you’re getting your money’s worth.
These water- and sweat-resistant wireless headphones provide up to fifteen hours of listening time on a single charge. They can be set up to allow for hands-free voice communication, whether through call or text. Whether for business or pleasure, these headphones deliver.
Husky Work Light
There are fewer things more welcome in the dead of winter than a little more light. This work light from Husky casts up to 7,000 lumens of light, which is a lot. It’s also designed so it’s always cool to the touch, and can be detached from its tripod base for increased maneuverability.
Toughbuilt Sawhorse and Jobsite Table
A stable pair of sawhorses makes a long work day go a lot smoother. These high-grade steel sawhorses from Toughbuilt are individually rated to hold up to 1,100 lbs. Plus, built-in 2×4 support arms make it easy to grab a piece of plywood and transform a pair of these sawhorses into a veritable jobsite table.

Aching feet and sore toes make the work day miserable for construction pros. Give the gift of foot relief through these black Timberland PRO steel-toe boots. They provide enough comfort and protection to get pros through the day.
Crick Tool 36-Inch Wood Level
If someone works construction, they probably own a set of levels that have been through some stuff on the job. Wooden levels from Crick Tools are not the kind of level you take to a dirty jobsite. You display them prominently in your garage or workshop, ready to be broken out for special occasions and jobs requiring the most precise leveling.
Wrangler Riggs Workwear Men’s Ranger Pant
Like every other profession, construction pros need to dress for the job. Use this holiday season to help revamp your favorite pro’s wardrobe, starting with these durable and breathable work pants from Wrangler. They’re made from 100 percent cotton fabric, and their reinforced knees stand up to the demands of the jobsite.
Hot Feet Heated Thermal Socks
Staying warm is just a part of the job for pros who work where the weather turns cold a good chunk of the year. Thermal socks are a great way to heat up your whole body, and could be coupled with a nice pair of boots to provide someone the ultimate luxury for their feet. An extra pair of socks is something every pro should always have in their truck.
Colony Co. Lunch Bag
This low-key but stylish lunch bag is a great gift for anyone who frequently packs a lunch for work. It’s small enough that it won’t take up too much space in your truck, but big enough to hold enough sustenance and snack foods for even the hungriest pros on a long work day.
Leatherman Wave Plus Multitool
You could give someone a single tool as a gift. Or you could give them the Leatherman Wave Plus, which is 18 tools in one sleek, matte black package. One of the cool things about this multitool is how it’s designed to be opened and operated with one hand. Here are more pocket tools we love.
Huepar 3D Green Beam Self-Leveling Laser Level
This self-leveling laser level makes marking layouts and leveling objects a breeze, with three 360-degree laser lines that work at a range up to 130 feet.
Bosch Laser Distance Measurer
With a backlit color display, large easy-to-read numbers and Bluetooth functionality, the Bosch GLM 50 CX is a snap to use. The Bluetooth technology makes it simple to transfer any measurements directly to a smartphone or tablet, so you don’t have to scribble them down on a scrap of paper or try to keep memorized measurements straight in your head.
Dickies Men’s Sanded Duck Flex Mobility Jacket
Winter jackets for construction pros can’t be too bulky or restrict movement too much. The flex fabric in this jacket from Dickies makes it easier to move around in while still being warm, durable and water repellent.
Carhartt Men’s Bartlett Jacket
This is a jacket made for days where you may not need a full-on winter coat but you have to work in chilly temperatures. The sherpa lining in the body of the jacket will keep your torso nice and toasty, and the hood is great when your head needs a little extra cover from the elements.
Heated Gloves from Milwaukee
Frostbite is no joke. Keep hands warm and fingers nimble with this pair of heated gloves, powered by rechargeable batteries to keep things toasty for up to six hours. The gloves have three adjustable heat settings and “SMARTSWIPE technology” on the index fingers that allows wearers to operate touchscreens without taking the gloves off.
Streamlight LED Rechargeable Professional Flashlight
This light features a no-nonsense design, long-lasting battery life and a wide beam with multiple settings for different applications. There’s even a strobe setting, which could be handy for warning off potential intruders.
Carhartt Men’s Workwear Jersey Pocket Long-Sleeve Shirt
It takes a lot for clothing and gear to earn the pro stamp of approval. There’s a good chance the construction pro in your life wears old, ratty shirts to work they don’t mind dirtying up or even ruining. Upgrade their shirt collection with these breathable long sleeve work shirts from Carhartt.
Stanley FATMAX Power Inverter
Give someone a power inverter and they’re automatically one step closer to turning their truck into a viable field office. This inverter from Stanley takes power from your vehicle’s DC plug (a.k.a. the cigarette lighter) and makes it accessible to devices through a standard 120 volt AC outlet or USB charging ports.
FC Folding Pocket Utility Knife
When you’re a construction pro, it’s helpful and convenient to have some sort of cutting tool on hand at all times. The compact design and heavy-duty housing of this folding utility knife make it easy to slip in and out of pockets, along with storage compartments of tool belts and bags, without taking up too much space for other necessary tools.
DeWalt Right Angle Flex Shaft
Unlock a whole world of drilling possibilities with this angle flex shaft from DeWalt, which makes it easy to use any impact drill to drive screws in even the hardest to reach places.
