Nifty DIY tool / gadget gift ideas

I've just been fitting some flooring, and I take my hat off to people who do this for a living!

I've been pretty impressed by the Parkside tools from Lidl. I have several of their small sets (the latest a mini ratchet wrench with some

A generator or large power bank?

For people in Scotland, a set of smoke/heat/CO alarms for the new regulations.

A USB endoscope, as face-to-face GP appointments still seem hard to get.

Leatherman or decent quality clone. Brilliant as an emergency toolkit.

A few years back, my daughters bought me one of those miniature battery screw drivers - the Wow Stick.

I have some dexterity issues after a stroke in 2006 and my fingers tire very easily ( sounds silly until you experience it - even writing is a problem). The Wow Stick is ideal for small electronic items etc - it uses the small bits which are easily available.

I bought one of the rechargeable Dremel clones. For about £15, including various accessories, it has proved excellent.

Likewise, I?ve bought some power tools from Aldi and found them more than adequate.

Yes, bought one of those for my son last year.

oscillating multi tool so many people dont know how useful they are

Years ago I had a Ryobi cordless Dremel clone. Which was absolutely perfect for me. Never been able to find a decent replacement that was so nice to use. I've bought a couple since - but either too big or too small for comfortable use.

Another +1 for the Lidl one. I use that more than my mains ones, now. Grab one next time they appear!
