It’s the season of giving. Whether you’re thinking about gifts to others or something for yourself, here are some items we love for those who make their living in the construction business:
PIP Traverse Safety Helmet
This ANSI Certified Type II, Class E industrial climbing helmet offers superior impact protection while working at heights or in confined spaces. Features “Multi-directional Impact Protection System” (Mips) technology for protection from angled impacts; lightweight ABS Shell, EPS Foam Impact Liner, HDPE Suspension, Wheel Ratchet Adjustment and 4-Point Chin Strap.
Why we love it: Named a best new product of 2023 by Occupational Health & Safety magazine, this is the best you can do to protect your noggin. It meets or exceeds OSHA safety standards for just about any jobsite. It’s lightweight and comfortable and comes in a variety of colors.
Less than $100
Kapro JAMB Set 985M Apollo Magnetic Door Jamb Set 78″ and 32″
A German-made, heavy-duty professional two-piece door jamb set with accuracy and visibility that sets it apart.
Why we love it: The Apollo has an answer for every annoyance that lesser levels deliver. It’s fully reversible for quick transitions between floor and ceiling leveling. Ergonomic nonslip handles and shock-absorbing end caps make it easy to handle. And its unique “Dual-View Plumb Site” feature lets you read the vertical bubble without crunching up against the wall.
Less than $200
Dewalt TOUGHSYSTEM® 2.0 20V MAX* Dual Port Charger
Durable storage and protection for all your batteries, with simultaneous charging of two batteries for nonstop productivity. Compatible with other TOUGHSYSTEM modular elements.
Why we love it: While charging two Dewalt batteries at the same time, this box holds up to 12 of them securely, protecting against droppage, water and other jobsite abuses. With indicators inside and out, there’s no guessing whether charging is complete. And two USB ports keep phones and other devices charged as well.
About $200
Knaack Planzboard Mobile Work Station
A versatile mobile planning station for construction and jobsites.
Why we love it: This all-in-one replaces the bulky fabricated planning table with a drawing board that instantly converts to a collaborative review station, whiteboard or mobile bulletin board. It fits most jobsite lockboxes and work carts, is large enough to handle E-size plans and drawings and tough enough to take abuse.
Less than $400
Occidental Leather “Comfort Belt” Tool Rig
This top-grain premium leather tool belt has 22 pockets and no-spill tool holders, including hand-specific holders to promote smooth working rhythm. And it’s all supported by a 5” extra-wide “Comfort Belt.”
Why we love it: A spin on the original Pro Framer Tool Bag set that contractors know and love, it’s a tool belt rig that looks good and feels great. It will hold all your stuff, provide all-day comfort and when you take it off the bags stay put.
Less than $450.
