Stuart, the force behind ToolGuyd once told me how many screwdriver sets he has. It’s a protected trade secret, but I can tell you the number of tools is in the six figures.

Last, but certainly not least, ToolSkool has everything from a Thingamejig (no really, that’s what it’s called, it’s a cool scribing tool), to Rockler’s toy hobby kits (a much better way to introduce your kids to tools than handing them a circular saw). Geeks to tradespeople will love this list.

Happy Cyber Monday shopping, and a happy holiday season to all!

About Marc Lyman

Marc grew up under a brave single mom who "encouraged" home improvement on the family home. Early toddler gifts included a tool set, and even a cordless Bosch drill when cordless drills first came out. In grade school (give or take a few years), Marc's mom said, "We need to cut down some trees. . . . here's a chainsaw." A father figure also involved Marc in many home improvement projects, including a summer of home remodeling in Palo Alto, CA. Toss in some Obsessive Compulsive personality traits researching everything home improvement related. The end result: a genetically pre-disposed, socially sculpted home improvement machine! For his complete profile, please visit our About page. Really, it's worth it.

  1. I wanna win the chisels! My brother-in-law finally gave me a gift list I can work with this year and he wants chisels! That would be such a better gift than the 6 pack of beer I usually get him!
