Best Tool and Outdoor Gear Gifts for Christmas 2025

Savage Gear RevMag Walker Salt

Why I Recommend It:

There’s nothing like the excitement of explosive topwater action, and long casts are key to tempting cruising fish or calling them in from their ambush hides.

Adding a new twist on the classic walker, the Savage Gear RevMag Walker employs an innovative reverse magnetic weight transfer system, which delivers exceptional casting distance and perfect balance for smooth landings and immediate action.

Designed to mimic the erratic movement of a dying baitfish, this topwater lure entices explosive strikes from large predators. Built for durability, it features corrosion-resistant, ultra-sharp hooks and a wide, side-to-side walking action ideal for inshore and nearshore fishing. Sporting some of the most realistic eyes and finishes, it’ll get the attention of the most wary of predators.

Plano Sportsman’s Trunk

Why I Recommend It:

Plano Sportsman’s Trunks provide versatile storage for outdoor enthusiasts, available in small (56-quart), medium (68-quart), and large (108-quart) sizes. Available in several different colors to either blend in or stand out, each trunk features durable construction to withstand outdoor conditions and keep your gear organized.

With three sizes to choose from, you can use them almost anywhere. Organize your garage shelves using the small size. Grab a medium trunk to store your range gear. Or do like I did, and pack your extra smoker pellets in the large trunk. The affordable pricing makes them the perfect fit when you don’t need storage with a sealed lid but you do need high durability.

Bosch Blaze 100-ft Laser Distance Measure

Why I Recommend It:

When it comes to taking quick measurements, there’s nothing better than a laser distance measure. Bosch has been in the game for a long time, and their high-value GLM100-23 model is great for Pros and DIYers alike.

With a 100-foot range and ±1/16th-inch accuracy, it’s excellent for estimating paint or flooring jobs, interior decorating planning, or dozens of other measuring applications. The reverse-contrast screen is easy to ready, there’s a built-in rounding function, and the roll cage-inspired design help protect the measure in case of accidental drops. It’s an affordable entry into the world of laser distance measures, and it’s sure to make your old tape measure start feeling a bit more lonely.

Price: $39.99

Dickies Tradebuilt Workwear

Why I Recommend It:

Dickies has been in the workwear game for a long time, so when they launched their Tradebuilt line, I had high expectations. The line initially has four pieces, targeting the needs of tradesmen around the country who value performance workwear:

Shirt Jacket (DWR treated)
Utility Long Sleeve Work Shirt
Duck Canvas Cargo Pants (DWR treated)
Duck Canvas Double Knee Pants (DWR treated)

With each piece, you can expect jobsite tough durability, along with enough stretch to move how you need to in order to get the job done. Knowing that what you wear is part of the tools you bring to work, each member is thoughtfully designed with functionality in mind. Trade-focused at heart with Dickies’ value in its pricing, the Tradebuilt line makes excellent gifts for any tradesman on your list.

Price: Starting at $44.99

Pendleton Whisky Midnight

Why I Recommend It:

Pendleton’s Midnight is a Canadian-style whisky that sits in between their classic Original and their outstanding 12-year 1910 Rye. It’s made using glacier-fed spring water from Oregon’s Mt. Hood and has been aged in brandy barrels for at least 6 years.

On the nose, you’ll find leather with warm cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and a touch of ginger. As you sip, the flavor profile includes full, well-balanced oak paired with notes of coffee cake, nuts, caramelized bananas, and candied figs. The back end has a full-bodied, satiating finish with a smolder of spices, pecans, and walnuts lingering on your tongue.

My favorite way to enjoy it is neat to get the full experience of its weighty and balanced, yet complex profile. It also makes an excellent Old Fashioned, though you don’t need as much simple sugar as you do with most whiskeys (or whiskies), bourbons, and ryes.

Ridgid 18V Brushless Magnetic Clamp Fan

Why I Recommend It:

One of the coolest gifts you can get your favorite Ridgid enthusiast this Christmas is the 18V Brushless Magnetic Clamp Fan. Using a Ridgid 18V battery for power, the three-speed setting dial in up to 325 CFM of cooling airflow. Plus, the use of a brushless motor ensures the battery lasts far longer than brushed designs—up to 60 hours with a 4.0Ah battery!

Whether you set the fan on its base, clamp it to a support, or magnetically stick it on a ferrous surface, the pivoting, swiveling head allows you to direct air in any direction you need it. It’s a versatile little fan that you’ll appreciate as soon as the temperatures start heating up!

Black Diamond Spot 400/400-R Headlamp

Why I Recommend It:

Black Diamond’s Spot 400 features a low-profile design with a comfortable Repreve recycled textile elastic band, which packs an impressive 400 lumens of LED light into an IPX8 waterproof housing. But that’s far from the end of the story—several other features set it apart from other headlamps you may have used.

First, it’s a dual-fuel design, using either three AAA alkaline batteries or the BD 1500 lithium-ion rechargeable battery. You can buy the Spot 400 in either configuration, but you can always switch power sources. It also has an updated optical efficiency that produces brighter light with greater peak intensity while conserving battery life. Then, there’s the PowerTap technology that shifts from any setting to max power with the tap of your finger, allowing you to quickly adjust as conditions change.

With mode options for close-up and at-range activities, it’s great for nearly any low-light or no-light environment.

Price: $54.95 – $69.95

Superfeet Work Cushion Insoles

Why I Recommend It:

We had the opportunity to review Superfeet’s Work Cushion Insoles when they were initially launched, and I’ve been wearing them ever since. As one of their best-sellers and designed specifically for work boots, work shoes, and safety toe footwear, these insoles provide lightly structured, durable support that works as hard as you do. Premium dual-layer cushioning guards against foot fatigue, while the Moisturewick top cover helps reduce odors, keeping feet fresh.

Work Cushion Insoles make a great replacement and upgrade for the replaceable insoles that come in most work boots. Simply order the size range that best fits you, and then trim them with a pair of scissors using the insoles you’re replacing as a guide. You’ll have the perfect fit and immediate relief.

BOYA mini 2 Wireless Microphone

Why I Recommend It:

Having used various wireless microphones both in the Pro Tool Reviews studio and at various trade shows (like Milwaukee Pipeline), the BOYA mini 2 microphones are the smallest we’ve seen that offer the same capabilities as larger models. Even better, the mini 2 offers AI-trained noise cancellation. This gives you much better performance when recording during public events or other noisy environments. For the longest runtimes and range, grab the BOYAMIC 2. However, for everything else, the mini 2 offers exceptional value.

Price: $59.99

Arcade x RECCO Belt

Why I Recommend It:

The Arcade x RECCO belt is completely different from traditional belts. Featuring a contoured micro-adjustable buckle, you’re able to dial in a perfectly comfortable fit. The webbing is a long-lasting, durable performance stretch made of 85% Repreve recycled polyester and 15% rubber, freeing you from the restriction you’re used to as you bend, crawl, or climb. Plus, the A2 buckle system releases quickly, and the tapered buckle easily feeds through belt loops, making it easy to put on or take off.

What puts this model on a completely different level is the RECCO integration. The belt has two RECCO reflectors that enable rescuers using the system to quickly find you, yet they require no batteries or other power source to work. If you work or play in remote areas or in potentially dangerous environments, it’s an extra layer of insurance that can aid first responders when seconds count.

Price: $59.99

Looking for something a little more construction-oriented for everyday wear? Check out Arcade’s Hardware Alu belt instead!

Staccato X Multitasker Twist Multitool

Why I Recommend It:

Multitools come in all shapes and sizes, with everything from general use to hyper-niche focuses. One of the most useful forms I’ve seen recently comes from a collaboration between Staccato and Multitasker’s Twist Multitool.

Packed into a tool roughly the size of a permanent marker, the Multitasker Twist is purpose-built for maintaining your firearms and optics. However, the multi-bit part of the tool relies on a 1/4-inch hex interface, making it super-simple to customize or carry additional bit sets that can expand its versatility far beyond. Other multi-bit screwdrivers have a similar feature, but they’re not nearly as compact or lightweight as the Twist.

Here are the tools that come with the set:

Aimpoint Micro sight adjustment tool
Dental pick
3/32-inch pin punch
Carbon scraper
Pocket clip slotted screwdriver
Front sight tool
Ten 1/4-inch hex bits (slotted, Phillips, hex, and Torx)
8-32 thread adapter (also compatible with pull-through style cleaning kits)

Plano Weekend Tackle Backpack

Why I Recommend It:

Whether you’re wading, walking the beach, working the pier, kayaking, or you’re short on storage space, managing your tackle and gear can be a challenge for many anglers. Fortunately, Penn has just the right gift for you!

The Weekend Tackle Backpack is built for anglers on the hunt for durability, organization, and convenience. Featuring a molded waterproof base, it keeps your gear dry on wet docks, boat decks, and shorelines. It has a large main compartment for secure box storage with quick access, while die cut tool sleeves prevent tools from shifting around as you go.

For added convenience, quick access slip pockets give you access to frequently used items on the go. Plus, daisy chain attachment points let you customize your setup by adding extra gear. Designed with a structured back panel, sternum strap, and adjustable shoulder straps, this pack ensures comfort and convenience for those blissful days on the water.

Zircon Multiscanner i520 One-Step

Why I Recommend It:

When a basic stud finder isn’t enough, but a high-end wall scanner is overkill, Zircon’s Multiscanner i520 is the perfect balance of multi-function value.

It easily locates the edges and center of wood and metal studs and joists behind walls, floors, and ceilings. It also locates metal as well as live AC electrical wiring. A 4-mode switch makes it easy to change functions, while the ultra-bright display screen, SpotLite Pointing System, and audio tone all indicate the location of your target. There’s even a signal strength indicator to help distinguish between shallow and deep targets.

Stud Scan Mode: Locate the edges and center of wood or metal studs up to 3/4-inch deep
DeepScan Mode: Doubles the scanning depth to 1 1/2 inches
Metal Mode: Detects ferrous metal, such as steel pipe, up to 3 inches deep
AC Scan: Locates live, unshielded electrical wiring up to 2 inches deep
WireWarning Detection: Indicates the presence of live, unshielded electrical wire up to 2 inches deep in Stud and Metal Scanning modes
ACT (Auto Correcting Technology): Automatically corrects common user errors, such as when scanning begins over a stud
Ultra-bright LCD Screen: Indicates the direction, edges, and center of studs

Price: $75.99

Brunt Workwear Torra Lined Work Pant

Why I Recommend It:

Brunt’s Torra work pants were inspired by US Army Veteran Tony Torra. His work spans all kinds of jobs from construction to heavy equipment operation, and these pants were designed to be just as versatile as he is.

They feature a 70% cotton, 28% nylon, 2% spandex blend with 2-way stretch and a DWR coating to repel light precipitation. Functional pockets surround the pants where you expect them, plus there’s a drop-in cell phone pocket. To cover you on cool days, this model has a fleece liner sewn in. That liner also slides nicely over a base layer for days when the temps drop even further.

Price: $79.99

5.11 Trailblazer Gift Set

Why I Recommend It:

5.11 has tons of clothing, packs, and more for the prepared mind, but don’t overlook their gift sets as you’re rounding out your Christmas shopping.

The 5.11 Trailblazer Gift Set is a great way to blend trail and EDC readiness with a variety of helpful tools. Here’s what’s in the package:

Icarus TN Full tanto manual folding pocket knife
Locking stainless steel Hardpoint L3 Carabiner
Kubaton Tactical Pencil with machined aluminum body and 0.9mm lead
Stainless steel EDT Multitool with wrench, screwdrivers, bottle opener, pry tool, wire stripper, and ruler

Price: $80

Fender x Teufel ROCKSTER GO 2 Bluetooth Speaker

Why I Recommend It:

The Fender x Tuefel Rockster line is a collaboration between two legendary brands in their respective spaces with incredible results. The Rockster Go 2 is the smallest in the line, making it an ultra-portable Bluetooth speaker. The size in convenient for going anywhere, but it’s the tech that makes it special.

Teufel’s German-engineered audio creates higher sound quality with a larger sound stage than you’d ever think possible, given the size of the speaker. Better still, the two aluminum full-range drivers and passive bass radiator are housed in an impact-resistant, IP67 waterproof housing, so you can enjoy the sound no matter what the weather’s doing. And if you really want to crank things up, you pair multiple Rockster Go 2 speakers together—up to 100 of them!

Price: $89.99

Helinox Chair One Packable Chair

Why I Recommend It:

Forget your outdoor folding camp chairs. They’re heavy, take up too much room, and you definitely don’t want to go on a hike with them. Instead, get your hands on a Hellinox Chair One for a lightweight, highly portable solution.

The design weighs just 2.2 pounds, yet it can support over 300 pounds when it’s set up, and its comfort is far better than your old camp chair. The magic is in the advanced engineering that uses green anodized DAC aluminum alloy for the frame and proprietary nylon resin hubs to combine strength with durability.

The chair fabric is bluesign-certified recycled 600D polyester that’s durable enough to withstand the elements. Plus, mesh paneling provides ventilation and breathability. Set up is simple with shock-corded poles taking the guesswork out of assembly. When you’re ready to pack it up, the chair folds into a 14 x 4.5 x 4.5-inch full zip case.

IDEAL Electrical Guardian Bender w/Handle

Why I Recommend It:

The IDEAL Electrical Guardian Conduit Bender stands out in the market due to its unique built-in set-angle stopper.

New hires are always joining the trades, and this feature ensures precise bends at common angles without the risk of over- or under-bending.

This innovative feature eliminates the hassle of adjustments—reducing material waste.

Additionally, the bender’s clearer, recessed markings and dedicated bend correction hole make it easier to use.

Ductile iron construction should make this a long-lasting, durable tool. The textured handle also improves grip.

Price: $100 – $120

Skil 12V/24V Bushless Flip Drill

Why I Recommend It:

Skil’s Brushless Flip Drill is a fun little tool that DIYers will find makes their home improvement projects run more smoothly. At the heart of the drill is a brushless motor powered by either a PWRCore 12 or PWRCore 20 battery, so it works no matter which system you prefer.

But what sets it apart from standard drill designs is its ability to hold two bits at once. When you’re tackling a project like installing anchors to hang a mirror, you can have the drill bit in one side and the driver bit in the other. Simply drill the hole, flip the collet around, and drive the screw in place. There’s no need to stop and swap bits with every hole!

Because of the 1/4-inch hex shank collets, you need to use hex shank drill bits with this tool. Not to worry, though, you can pick up a high-value set from Skil as a stocking stuffer to go along with the drill.

Price: $109 kit

Wiley X WX Boss Safety/Sunglasses

Why I Recommend It:

I wear Wiley X glasses almost exclusively. Their commitment to quality, safety, comfort, and style across the entire lineup is unmatched in my experience. When it comes to safety glasses as the primary function, the WX Boss is my absolute favorite.

Its bold style intersects with high-performance features, offering a look highlighted by sleek but wide temples and a high-wrap frame. For those of us who wear contacts or are frequently around fine dust, there’s also a removable gasket to keep irritants away from our eyes. With a medium to large overall fit, the WX Boss rests comfortably close to your face, where the gasket can form a good seal when you’re using it. There’s even a T-docking strap to keep them in place during intense work or activity.

You can get them with clear lenses for all-around safety, Silver Flash or Smoke Grey for sun protection, or upgrade to Captivate Polarized Blue Mirror lenses for ultimate protection and clarity.

Price: $124 – $206

King’s Camo XKG Foundation 260 Merino 1/4 Zip

Why I Recommend It:

When it comes to comfort and odor protection, Merino wool is where it’s at, and King’s Camo has the perfect multi-season base layer in the XKG Foundation 260 Merino 1/4 Zip.

Suitable as a cold-season base layer or on its own during warmer months, it’s made from 19.5 micron 90/10 Merino Wool/Nylon blend at 260 grams. Its moisture-wicking, breathable nature keeps you cool in the heat, while tightly sewn fine wool fibers help keep heat close to your body when you layer up. Thanks to flatlock seam construction, you won’t be bothered by pressure points when you’re wearing a pack.

With its natural fibers, it’s also excellent at controlling odor, outperforming other fabrics after several days in the field. Paired with the Foundation Bottoms, the Merino Foundation pieces complete the base layer for the XKG Series.

3W Rubberized and Carpeted Floor Mats

Why I Recommend It:

Whether you drive an old or new car or truck, floor mats help keep dirt and messes from getting ground into your carpeting. What I like about 3W designs is the sheer volume of options they provide. Want rubberized mats? Check. How about a rubber base with an interlocking carpeted top? Check. Need mats for an older truck? They’ve got you covered. How about a new Tesla? Yep, that too. Each mat utilizes a 3D-scanned design and injection molding technology to ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle. The rubber mats are fully waterproof and easy to clean, while the carpeted overlays are both safe and durable, holding up to rugged use and cleaning.

Fenwick Eagle Inshore Spinning Rod

Why I Recommend It:

I’ve been fishing Fenwick Eagle spinning rods for a while now, and I’m stoked that they’ve launched an inshore-specific model!

These rods are built from a rod blank with a proprietary blend of 24/30 ton graphite that delivers excellent sensitivity, crisp action, and lasting durability. They’ve been redesigned from top to bottom, featuring soft-touch reel seats for direct blank contact, tailored foregrips to enhance the feel, and stainless-steel guides with zirconia inserts that provide smooth line performance.

Need some help deciding which one to get? I like the 7-foot, 6-inch medium action paired with a 2500 or 3000 series spinning reel and 15-lb braid to get maximum casting distance on the flats. Fishing docks or other structure? Grab the 7-foot medium-heavy action model to pull fish out before they can break you off.

Nebo Light-N-Go Kit

Why I Recommend It:

Elevate your everyday chores and tasks with the Light-N-Go Kit—a compact yet versatile 3-piece set designed for those who work hard, play hard, and are always on the move.

Yeti Rambler Beverage Bucket

Why I Recommend It:

Ever notice how long a Yeti Rambler cup holds ice? The design team at Yeti has, and now you can take advantage of that technology in with the Rambler Beverage Bucket.

Large enough to hold a six-pack of your favorite brew or three bottles of wine, the double-wall vacuum insulation keeps drinks cold and ice solid for hours longer than typical metal or plastic buckets. As you expect from Yeti, it’s over-engineered for an even better experience, with a strong construction, a comfortable rotating carry handle, and a non-slip Bearfoot base ring. It comes with a lid to help keep ice longer, and the design is stackable to minimize the storage footprint between get-togethers.

From backyard cookouts to overlooks that only four-wheel drive can get you to, the Yeti Rambler Beverage Bucket will help your drinks keep their cool.

Gerber Fastball Magnacut Pocket Knife

Why I Recommend It:

The original Fastball is one of my favorite designs from Gerber (it’s literally clipped on my pocket as I’m writing this). Now, it’s even better thanks to a Magnacut blade.

The Fastball is an American-made every day carry knife that lives in the place where precision and polish meet. The trend-forward yet practical design features an intuitive finger flipper opening for the plain edge Wharncliffe blade and a utilitarian handle made from aircraft-grade aluminum. Equipped with B.O.S.S. Tech (Balls of Stainless Steel), the Fastball lives up to its name, offering quick, smooth deployment every time.

With the upgrade to MagnaCut blade steel, it now has unparalleled strength, corrosion resistance, and edge retention backed by Gerber’s limited lifetime warranty.

Olight Marauder Mini 2 Flashlight

Why I Recommend It:

Olight has been making impressive flashlights for nearly 20 years. When they showed us the Marauder Mini 2 Flashlight, we realized they had packed 10,000 lumens into a light that still managed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. With an IPX8 rating, a huge 7500 mAh battery, and up to 20 days of runtime (when run for 30 minutes a day in medium-bright floodlight mode), this flashlight breaks new ground. We especially love the textured handle, the dual charging options, and the fact that it includes 5 lighting modes (our favorite is the combined spot and flood). It even has a small sidelight for when you just need some assistance finding your keys. If you haven’t yet experienced an Olight flashlight, this is a great way to start your journey.

Ariat Rebar Lift 6-inch Waterproof Work Boot

Why I Recommend It:

When you think of Ariat boots, your mind may drift to their Western styles, but don’t overlook their lace-up work boot line. For guys who want a lighter boot, check out the Rebar Lift.

This 6-inch hiker style features a moc toe and 90° heel with DRYShield waterproof, breathable construction. For comfort, there’s an FLX Foam midsole, which provides responsive cushioning, and an AllDay Cushioning insole.

It includes the accessories you want, and the filter is easily removable for quick cleaning. Above all, you get a large hose diameter, which makes this a perfect match for both dust collection and large clean-up. Haul it out to the vehicle to make quick work of even the messiest jobs. Lastly, the price is unbeatable at $199.

Ryobi 40V HP Brushless Whisper Series 800 CFM Blower

Why I Recommend It:

Want more blowing force than gas can provide but lower noise levels than high-performance battery-powered ones? You can’t have it all, right? Wrong!

Ryobi’s most powerful handheld blower takes advantage of a 40V HP Brushless motor to produce more than 25 Newtons of blowing force. That’s more than double what the best residential handheld gas models can do, and some 67% more than high-end Pro models! At the same time, this blower is part of the Whisper Series. By adding foam and fine-tuning other elements of the design, it’s significantly quieter that other top-tier battery-powered models. With Ryobi, you really can get the best of both worlds.

Price: $229 bare, $339 kit

DemerBox DB1 Bluetooth Speaker

Why I Recommend It:

We tested a ton of jobsite radios, and while they’ve improved over the years, there’s still something missing. Enter DemerBox.

Built in the USA, Demerboxes are rugged, waterproof Bluetooth speakers with surprising sound quality for their size. They’re made from genuine Pelican cases, providing dry internal storage to keep your things dry and safe, while also making them durable enough to survive the toughest conditions and most abusive users. DemerBoxes are IP67 waterproof, can playback up to 40 hours on their internal battery, have USB device charging ports inside, and are designed to be the last Bluetooth speakers you will ever buy.

IDEAL Electrical S-Class Fish Tape w/BlueView Digital Display

Why I Recommend It:

IDEAL’s BlueView S-Class Digital Fish Tape is the very first we’ve seen with a real-time digital length display. This is fantastic for eliminating guesswork when running and pulling wire.

It keeps the rugged design we’re used to from IDEAL products. The fiberglass core offers exceptional strength, while the nylon jacket reduces friction for smooth pulls.
If your tape breaks, you can quickly and easily reset the digital counter in seconds, getting you back to perfect accuracy. Idea has literally redefined what a fish tape can be with this product.

Wolfbox G900 PRO Mirror Dash Cam

Why I Recommend It:

When it comes to shopping for a dashcam, most provide a separate screen that tucks behind or beside the rearview mirror. A majority also lack 4K resolution and a practical way to view both front and rear cameras simultaneously. The Wolfbox G900 Pro utilizes a Sony STARVIS 2 (IMX678) sensor for night vision, which incorporates excellent noise reduction and HDR for optimal image quality. We love that it clamps over your existing mirror and features touch controls to quickly switch between front, rear, and split view modes.

Penn Slammer IV Spinning Reel

Why I Recommend It:

As an inshore saltwater enthusiast, I own more Penn reels than any other brand. Their reputation for quality and durability in harsh conditions sets them apart. If you’re looking for a solid spinning reel upgrade this Christmas, check out the Slammer IV.

It’s packed with more features than ever before. Including the proven IPX6 sealed body and spool, the newly redesigned Slammer drag system is not only better sealed, but it also offers a wider range of usable drag, all while including more bearings for even smoother reeling. Adding all-new brass CNC gear technology, its 8+1 stainless steel bearing system, and Hydrophobic Line Roller Bearing makes the Slammer IV the ultimate workhorse spinning reel in Penn’s impressive lineup.

For the flats I target most of the time, I’m using the 2500 size and have it paired with 15-lb braid and a Fenwick Eagle Inshore 7-foot medium action rod.

Sitka Grindstone Work Jacket

Why I Recommend It:

While Sitka made its name in the fishing and outdoor space, they’re crossing over into workwear that’s just as comfortable on the jobsite as it is on the riverbank. For cold weather, the Grindstone work jacket has everything you need to get the job done when Old Man Winter is working alongside you.

It features a 100% nylon Cordura Oxford fabric shell with Gore-Tex’s Windstopper and a front zipper with windbreak to make the jacket 100% windproof. Inside, you have 100 grams of PrimaLoft Silver synthetic insulation to help you maintain body heat. A rigid, adjustable hood with low-profile Cohesive welded cord locks protects your head.

Lycra storm cuffs, a drop tail hem, and secure handwarmer pockets enhance your warming potential while an array of pockets store the gear you need to keep close at hand. All this is built into the most durable jacket Sitka has built to date. And with a reputation that goes back as far as Sitka’s, that’s really saying something.

If you like the build but not the sleeves or hood, the Grindstone is also available as a vest.

Milwaukee M18 Fuel 2-Tool Combo 3697-22

Why I Recommend It:

When Milwaukee launched its 4th-generation M18 Fuel Hammer Drill and M18 Fuel Impact Driver, it was the culmination of years of innovation that drove higher performance and better features into more compact tools. That combination has set a benchmark that professional tradesmen around the country love, and other brands are trying to match.

Grabbing the combo kit is a great way to save some money, but it’s an even sweeter deal this year. In addition to the tools, batteries, charger, and case that come in the kit, you can select a free bare tool or battery when you buy at Acme Tools. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your Milwaukee tool set or make the switch to the impressive M18 system, there’s never been a better time.

Bambu Lab P1S 3D Printer

Why I Recommend It:

Having used several 3D printers now, I truly value two key things: enclosures and multi-color support. The Bambu Lab P1S 3D Printer has both. If you opt for the P1S Combo, you get 4-color printing right out of the box. Unlike other printers, you also don’t have to 3D-print your enclosure—it comes out of the box fully enclosed and ready to go. Bambu gives you the ability to expand this printer to support up to 16 colors, and the system optimizes filament use to minimize waste. It even includes a camera, so you can capture 1280×720 video at 0.5 fps for time-lapse videos!

We’ve loved using our reMarkable notebooks for note-taking, filling out and managing documents, and cloud access across multiple platforms, all without the distractions of email, text messaging, social media, and other apps taking our minds away from the job at hand.

If you’ve been holding out for a smaller version, you’re in luck. The Paper Pro Move packs the natural writing feel and color screen of the Paper Pro model into a more compact 7.3-inch model.

Cobalt Golf Q-6SM Range Finder

Why I Recommend It:

Warning: The following product may cause increased love of the game and extensive time away from home on the weekends.

Cobalt Golf has packed a ton of innovative technology into their Q-6SM Range Finder. A brilliant screen and 7x zoom make target acquisition easy, and the PinSense and Surge features easily filter out background noise to find the pin from more than 600 yards away. Once they lock onto the target, vibration kicks in to let you know, giving you visual, audio, and haptic feedback that your measurement is accurate.

Slope mode helps account for elevation changes, while the SmartSwitch function allows you to easily turn it off when you’re competing in USGA-sanctioned events. Plus, there’s a strong magnet to keep the Q-6SM in place, and all that technology is packed into an aluminum housing with an IPX7 ingress rating to protect it from rain.

Best of all, Cobalt Golf is a direct-to-consumer brand, meaning there’s no retail markup, which allows you to get the best technology at a price well below competing models.

Ikarao Break X2 Karaoke Machine

Why I Recommend It:

One of our staff—who shall remain nameless—loves to sing. And, really, if you want a good time, having a karaoke system on hand isn’t a bad way to get family and friends together for a good time. The Ikarao Break X2 karaoke machine delivers the goods with two wireless microphones and an integrated 10.1-inch LCD screen. Even better, you can use the HDMI and audio outputs to send the karaoke experience to the big screen as well as your AV system. Even if you don’t, however, the onboard speakers do a great job of producing a full and rich sound. An onboard battery ensures you get up to 8 hours of playtime—even with loud output and the use of the onboard display. That means you can grab this system and start the party anywhere you want!

Snaptain P40 Lite 3-Axis Gimbal 4K Camera Drone

Why I Recommend It:

Drones offer a whole new way to capture sporting events and just about any outdoor activity. While we always recommend getting your drone pilot’s license and operating according to FAA rules, the Snaptain P40 Lite 3-Axis Gimbal 4K Camera Drone weighs less than 249g, so you don’t need to register it for personal use (you do need to pass the TRUST safety test). We love that this drone takes 8K photos and 4K video with 3-axis gimbal stabilization. You get helpful features like one-key takeoff and return, as well as precision control over both the camera and drone. The Fly More bundle gives you extra batteries, so you can stay in the air longer.

FlexiSpot C7 Morpher Premium Back Support Ergo Chair

Why I Recommend It:

Is your current office chair a literal pain? Say goodbye to shoulder strain, unsupported upper backs, and lower back tension thanks to three key design technologies built into FlexiSpot’s C7 Morpher.

Many chairs miss the mark on upper back support. However, Flexlean tilts forward up to 10°, keeping your shoulders relaxed and your upper back gently supported—no matter how you sit. Relieving your spinal region, the Flexlide backrest glides with you, keeping your spine supported through every shift and stretch. The last of the the three is AirLumbar Support, which lets you inflate or deflate the lumbar zone to dial in the perfect level of support—just the way your back needs it.

With other convenient features such as an adjustable lumber support height, rotating arm rests, a generous 380-pound capacity, height support for people up to six feet, seven inches tall, and a built-in foot rest, the C7 Morpher offers serious comfort at a price that’s hundreds less than other brands.

FlexiSpot is running up to 80% off this Black Friday — their biggest sale of the year. If you’re thinking of upgrading your office or home furniture, be sure to check out the deals!

Pecos Table

Why I Recommend It:

The Pecos Table is the ultimate portable outdoor table. It has an incredibly rugged design that can stand on its own in 60 MPH winds and supports up to 3200 pounds. At the same time, it’s light enough to carry with one hand and sets up in seconds.

But it’s the accessories that take it to a whole other level. A paper towel holder, trash bag holder, cup holder, cutting boards, and more can clip to the outside or top of the table and expand its versatility way beyond ordinary outdoor tables.

Made with aircraft aluminum legs and a food-friendly HDPE top, the Made in the USA Pecos Table is an outstanding addition to your RV site, campsite, tailgate site, or jobsite.

Milwaukee Master Mechanics Tool Set

Why I Recommend It:

Milwaukee Master Mechanics Hand Tool Set

When Milwaukee designed its Master Mechanics Set, the team targeted a number of significant paint points that professional mechanics deal with. It starts with hand tools that are designed with high quality and durability, along with meaningful innovations that solve real problems. From there, the tools are grouped into purpose-built sets and packed into Packout boxes that give them the durable storage they need with easy access and transportation, and an expandable platform to build on.

The benefits don’t end there, though. Milwaukee worked to make sure the tools are readily available online and at brick-and-mortar retailers, along with independent tool trucks. They also made the warranty claims process super-easy with quick online submissions that can be done at your convenience—no receipt required. Plus, the set is available at a much more affordable price than most tool truck brands, so you won’t be losing money in your paycheck every week for the rest of your career.
