How to Buy Tools as a Gift ~ Podcast Episode 15

After talking about Prepping a car for winter yesterday, I have the holiday season on the brain. Now, this is NOT a holiday show, but I thought it would be a great time to talk about buying tools as a gift. So today on the automotive podcast, we are talking about things to consider when buying tools as gifts. I am also working on a guide to buying tools this holiday season. That will be coming out next week. I assure you, there will be awesome deals.

I am someone that has spent a lot of time researching tools. In addition to that time doing research, I have spent a TON of money on tools. So today’s show it really built on how to buy tools for anyone from the auto enthusiast, to the DIY homeowner. Also remember that gift cards are always awesome, but are not really personal.

On today’s automotive podcast we talk about:

• Thinking about who we are buying tools for
  • Car person
  • The Pro
  • The Woodworker
  • Electronics person
  • DIY homeowner
• How to find the perfect tool
• Buy nice or buy twice
• Tool count does not equal value
• What tools to aviod
• Flames do not equal quality
• Slam dunk gift ideas (I don’t mean basketball)
• Less glamorous, but awesome tool ideas
• MT Knives sharpening video
