Plus, these aren’t just gifts for builders and construction workers that are professional tradespeople! If your dad, aunty, partner or any other family member enjoys a bit of DIY in their spare time, these gift ideas will surely make them smile too - and encourage their favourite hobby. 

 

Safety Gloves & Clothing

Building sites can be dangerous and hazardous places, and having the right safety gear is essential. 

Personal protection items like gloves, glasses and other safety clothing  might not be first on a builder’s list to buy themselves, making them fantastic potential gifts. 

The Makita Blue collection is particularly popular with our customers, and features a range of safety items like knee pads and mobile phone pouches, as well as lots of wearable accessories to make builders’ lives easier. There’s all kinds of tool belts and holsters, including those for spare batteries, specific tools and general pouches and tool bags. 

 

Ear Defenders

 



There’s no shortage of noise whilst builders are at work, and keeping their ears protected is just as important as their hands, eyes and elsewhere. 

Ear defenders make great gifts for builders, especially if you splash out. These extremely popular DeWalt versions are the next level in ear defence, featuring integrated FM and DAB+ radio functionality! They’re the ultimate solution for providing ear and sound protection, whilst being able to listen to your favourite radio stations or MP3 playback devices at the same time!

 

Tool Bags & Carry Cases

The one thing every builder needs is a good tool bag or carry case for their equipment! Our range of sturdy, stylish branded tool bags are the perfect item for storing and transporting tools and accessories, making them ideal gifts for builders at any time of year. 

We offer a wide variety of tools bags and boxes from all the leading brands, including DeWalt’s stackable, completely customisable TSTAK range, and Makita’s Makpac cases, stylish carry bags.

 

Coffee Machines

Endlessly popular with our customers, these cordless, Li-Ion battery-powered Makita coffee machines for the jobsite make fantastic gifts for builders, helping to warm them up whilst they work, as well as creating that lovely aroma of fresh coffee!

 

Job Site Radios

Radios make great gifts for builders and contractors! Everyone loves some tunes to listen to as they work, and the leading power tool brands have developed a range of cordless, portable jobsite radios to make tuning in to their favourite stations or putting on their favourite playlists even easier. 

Metabo, Milwaukee, Makita, Bosch, DeWalt - we stock job site radios from a variety of your favourite manufacturers. Choose one with Bluetooth, and they can get the crew singing along to the top Spotify playlist in no time, enabling playback straight from their smartphone.

 

Pens & Marking Tools

A great pen or marking tool is a tradesperson’s best friend, and these Tracer markers make particularly great gifts for builders - they’re double tipped, can mark in even deep holes, and come with extremely handy site holsters as standard.

 

Spare Li-Ion Batteries

Cordless tools are immensely popular, and it’s likely that most of your builder’s power tools run on rechargeable Li-Ion batteries. These are available in a range of amps and voltages depending on the type of tools being used, and each brand develops their own batteries to match their cordless tools.

Whilst easily rechargeable, spare batteries always come in useful for those times when builders run out of power on site. Whatever brand of power tool the builder you’re buying for uses, we can supply the right spare batteries for you. Head to our batteries category and filter on the left by brand - make sure to check the voltage needed. Makita, DeWalt, Bosch, Milwaukee and more are available, and you could even give them an extra charger alongside the batteries too!

 

Remember - we also offer free delivery when you spend £50 or more, and if you need your gift in a hurry, place your order by 3pm and we can have it with you the very next day.
